there is more lgbt involvement in country music these days also. |

This ain't comin' from no prophet Just an ordinary man When I close my eyes I see The way this world shall be When we all walk hand in hand When the last child cries for a crust of bread When the last man dies for just words that he said When there's shelter over the poorest head We shall be free When the last thing we notice is the color of skin And the first thing we look for is the beauty within When the skies and the oceans are clean again Then we shall be free We shall be free We shall be free Stand straight, walk proud 'Cause we shall be free When we're free to love anyone we choose When this world's big enough for all different views When we all can worship from our own kind of pew Then we shall be free We shall be free We shall be free Have a little faith Hold out 'Cause we shall be free And when money talks for the very last time And nobody walks a step behind When there's only one race and that's mankind Then we shall be free We shall be free We shall be free Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out We shall be free We shall be free We shall be free Stand straight, have a little faith We shall be free |

9. Garth was my favorite performer at President Obama's first inaugural concert.
He is the father of several, I think 3, daughters.
To my knowledge, Garth is the only performer from that inaugural concert who walked out onstage and made a special point of waving at the adorable little Obama girls. It was pretty sweet. And then, he proceeded to blow every one away with his performance. He is also the author and performer of one of the best songs about love and tolerance since "Imagine". Garth's contribution..."We Shall Be Free". I get chills. He is a good guy. |

49. He supports President Obama..
"Yeah, I think what President Obama is finding out is all that we want to do, the system kind of doesn't allow the most powerful guy in the world to kind of do his job and I'm sure nobody's more frustrated than him to complete those promises that he did and I think he's trying his heart out. I love him to death and I fully support him and I just wish him well because it's got to be hell in that office," said Brooks.

They need to realize most of the entertainment industry won't touch Trump with a 10 foot pole. No one wants that poison near them. And then the knuckle draggers get mad and boycott. Actors, musicians, director/producers. If they keep boycotting because of their faux outrage, they won't have much to listen to or watch. Poor dumbasses
