Ireland and Garth Brooks: Stupid Together

Nobody really cares about Ireland, unless they're blowing up a few Brits.

And nobody with a normal color of neck (ie, white, yellow, black but not RED) gives a damn about Garth Brooks.

You'd think that these two, who both have very cute accents unless you have to hear them for more than an hour, would GET ALONG.

Nope.

I'm not sure which hard-headed bunch of jerks I should find more disgusting...the Irish whiners or Garth and his obnoxious managers.

The Irish love country music. It's been almost a tradition since the days of Jim Reeves, that Southern acts would have better luck flying all the way to Ireland rather than taking a train up North. In fact there are Irishmen who've made a career out of imitating Jim Reeves or George Jones or...with enough potatoes stuffed in their pudgy cheeks, Garth Brooks.

Apparently sleepy peaceful (if you're not British) Ireland doesn't like noisy concerts and restricts them severely. Besides, who the fuck wants entertainment in Ireland when you can just go out and get drunk? And if you DO want entertainment before you pass out...just punch somebody. Or fuck a sheep. Or do a stupid Irish dance with your hands by your sides like a broken marionette.

And who wants to generate INCOME from CONCERTS??

If there are enough drunken Irish shit-kickers to sell out five fucking nights of Garth Brooks...how dare anyone object? We're talking about IRELAND. What are you idiots afraid of? Things getting rowdy? It's not like Garth would be doing five nights in Princeton, New Jersey, and all the students would be in fear of their lives from maniacs driving pick-up trucks all the way from South Carolina.

However, what the fuck's with Brooks? He wasn't expecting to do more than two or three nights. He got greedy? Suddenly three sell-out nights isn't enough of a profit for the pig? Or was his hard-headed management team butting the thick-headed Irish politicians and they all lost sight of the little people...the AUDIENCE??

OK, the bad news is that Garth Brooks won't be playing Ireland. The worse news is that he's making a COMEBACK. He'll be EVERYWHERE ELSE.

Finally...a reason for people who aren't Irish to go visit Ireland.
