Sprint advertised Garth Brooks' November concert as "THE ELECTRIFYING RETURN OF THE MOST POTENT, EXPLOSIVE FORCE IN AMERICAN MUSIC HISTORY!"
The most potent, explosive force in American music? Such eruptions of hyperbole might prophylactically be reserved for artists who truly had a seminal influence on the way American music sounds, like James Brown or Elvis. But over the weekend, Garth proved nothing if not potent and explosive.
Crowds waiting outside the Sprint Center box office enjoyed repeated spasms of ecstasy as shows sold out, followed by announcements that Brooks was coming again - and coming again, and coming again, and coming again! Nine times in all, until every last fan was satisfied.
Pass that cigarette, will you?
Now, if only Sprint could run full-page ads convincing its board of directors and shareholders that CEO Gary Forsee is the most potent, explosive force in the telecom industry. Then, maybe last week wouldn't have brought the deflating news that Forsee's likely on his way out, after his unpleasant consummation of the Nextel merger and his flaccid response to customer service problems. Which kinda makes us worry about how long Sprint will be able to keep it up when it comes to presenting concerts at its namesake new arena. – C.J. Janovy

Who in God's name decided creating a mosque at ground zero appeared to be a great idea? I'm not really a great fan of both Glen Beck or Sarah Palin though matched against Obama and the supremely stupid government, these two are prodigies, get real North america, there is certainly a little weird stuff going on. Jessica.
Nicely done. The sad thing is Gary's severance package will be bigger than all Garth's ticket sales, for these shows and the rest of his life.
Actually, fuck them both.
I wish I had their money and they had a feather up their butts; we'd all be tickled.
Garth is Brillant, hes a great entertainer and a great role model and also a great ambassador for country music and America.
He doesnt go in and out of Rehab, he doesn't get arrested, he doesn't have a posse, he doesnt have any private videos appear on the internet, I guess that is why Rock Journalists dont like him.
I would put his songs up against anyone in music today.
Thanks and Take Care
