PARTY ON, GARTH!
Could you please lay off Garth Brooks for a while? Maybe he is only in the music business for the money, but isn't every musician? Garth has consistently kept the prices of his products down for fans, but he is always criticized for it. Who else would release a six-CD boxed set for under $40, or keep his concert tickets under $30? The Limited Series and Double Live may have been released just to put him over the 100 million mark in albums sold during his career, but didn't he sell over 70 million without a gimmick?
