Garth In Dreamland

Poor Garth Brooks. Still thinks this is 1992 when the Record Industry crammed their over bloated albums down the consumer's throat. A couple of good songs, lots of filler and high prices. The Industry told consumers too bad. If you want the single, you'll have to cough up for the whole thing.
Brooks still lives in this era. In this article Cmt.com to publicize his so-called comeback he rails against the RIAA giving in to Itunes (who he calls "sweet") for selling singles for 99cents. No Brooks wants that price higher, and also won't go on Itunes unless he gets an album-download only deal.
I loved the Garth of the 90's. Thought he was artist of that decade. But now he's out of step. Taking money from a Vegas casino to run through his old songs is okay. And charging high ticket prices is fine by him. But giving the Country consumer a nice price on music isn't.
I wished he had stayed "retired".
