Conservatives Turn on Garth Brooks, Throw Out His Music After Bud Light Support: 'Never Again'

[The Western Journal] Country Music Hall of Fame member Garth Brooks has thrown himself into the Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney controversy this last week.

Brooks recently announced in an interview with Billboard that he will unapologetically be serving Bud Light as one of the beverages at his new bar opening up in Nashville, Tennessee, soon.

WhiskeyRiff covers the full interview here.

The Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk bar is ironically named as Brooks will apparently only consider you a friend if you support the moral depravity of transgenderism and companies like Anheuser-Busch who propagate it.

In the interview, he not only supported the decision to sell Bud Light but also referred to anyone boycotting the product as "a**holes" that should seek out other bars in the lower Broadway area.

The predictable backlash from former Brooks fans was swift as thousands took to Twitter to voice their outrage with the singer; many promising to dispose of his music and boycott any future concerts.

One wrote, "Now I delete every Garth Brooks song from my collection. NEVER AGAIN GARTH!"....

#1 Garth is learning the F around and find out rule applies to the rich country stars too!

#2 Garth has always been little more than a country lite kind of singer. I'll always have fun memories of singing "Friends in Low Places" with my army buddies, but I have no love for this idiot beyond that.

#3 It's hard to boycott things I don't listen to or watch or purchase anyway, but I'll try.

I got 5 bottles of single malt to work through, forget having a beer of any brand.

#4 Not a country fan by any stretch but Garth always seemed to me a pop music country sort; definitely not in the Johnny Cash mold. This bar opening of his will go very badly - talk about an inability to read public sentiment.

#5 If your low place is the concessions line for Bud Lite, your friends are imaginary ones.

#7 I say good for Garth! As that fat commie Mao said, "Let a thousand malted beverages bloom." Choice is good. So do offer it unapologetically. Just don't expect to sell a lot.

#8 Garth got too popular for his own good and lost track of himself and who got him there. In trying to please everyone (especially those who never liked him) he now stands alone. Lesson there somewhere.

#9 The entire point of celebrity is "being celebrated." I have seen the need to be liked ruin a person.

I wake up glad every morning that I really don't care what most people think of me.

#10 The common wisdom is that 60% of bars and restaurants fail within the first year, 80% within five years. Those bars that survive make money hand over fist.

On the other hand, he’s opening the thing in Nashville, which is a loudly Progressive city full of loudly Progressive musicians, so his positioning may be a benefit rather than a drawback for the bar even as he loses fans nationwide.

#11 I found the advertising very appropriate.

Bud Light is not a beer.
The person in the picture is not a woman.

Perfect match.

#12 30+ years ago he sang some great songs. Then he got divorced, married Trisha Yearwood and mostly disappeared while getting fatter. He's irrelevant to the generation that buys music today.

#13 Garth always seemed to me a pop music country sort;

The same could be said for a lot of country stars these days. Unfortunate. I miss the twang.

#14 married Trisha Yearwood

Yeah, and if you ever watched her cooking show you might get an understanding for how he feels about Bud Light.
