16 years ago, I saw Garth Brooks for the first time. Last night I saw him again and let me tell you, it was monumental. The emotion that he brings is incomparable to any other performance I have ever witnessed…he radiated love and happiness and you could feel it all around you. This may be silly but I felt like I was witnessing history. His music is timeless. Some of my favorite lyrics of his are…
“You’ve got to be tough when consumed by desire ’cause it’s not enough just to stand outside the fire”
-Standing Outside the Fire
“That just because he doesn’t answer doesn’t mean he don’t care. Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers”
-Unanswered Prayers
“I’ll never reach my destination if I never try so I will sail my vessel ’til the river runs dry”
-The River
And of course…
“Bring me two pina coladas, gotta have one for each hand.”
-Two Pina Coladas
I could go on and on but all that to say…
Garth, I wear my cowgirl boots today for you!
