IN THE BEGINNING
In 2014, social media was a wasteland. Hundreds of millions of members were stuck scrolling through meaningless and plastic feeds. Somewhere where the networks should have had a heart, billionaire philanthropist humanoid Mark Zuckerberg had left a black hole of emotion. Some stood by and watched it happen. But some wanted more. The date: November 11, 2014. The location: Facebook. Enter: Garth Brooks.
LET THERE BE GARTH
The conversation had begun. No more rage comics and nyan cats. It was game day, and Garth was in it to win it from kickoff. He was going to post cool stuff. Slick stuff. But all the while, he was going to stay the same old Garth Brooks. RAW. Nothing says keeping it raw like selling 160 million records. Garth Brooks transcends raw. Here’s Garth letting us folks know how to keep it real by telling us to go show some love for his wife’s birthday, all the while holding her accounts hostage. She’s not Mrs. Brooks, he’s Mr. Yeargood.
THE DARK TRUTH
Behind the raw, cool, and slick, is there an underlying message that the G man is desperately trying to send out? Garth has had a troubled past with mental health. His well-documented emotional instability has been the talking point of many a tabloid article. It would be impossible to forget about the Chris Gaines fiasco, in which Garth tried to get away from his awesome level of fame and get back to basics by putting on an emo wig and creating a new persona with backstory included while pretending nobody will notice that it’s just Garth Brooks with bangs. Chris Gaines was supposed to be left in the past. He’s been wiped off the internet by the G team. You only have to look into his eyes to see what Garth really feels deep down inside that relatable working man shell. The proof is in the pudding.
SKELETONS IN THE G MAN’S CLOSET?
In the final frames of Garth’s reveal of what will be the BIGGEST STADIUM TOUR OF ALL TIME, he lets out a smile that shows he’s not all there. What is Garth hiding from us? Why does he want us to get physical like that? Is Chris Gaines back from the 90s to warn us something isn’t okay in the Brooks camp? That serial killer smile tells far more about his inner-self than we ever needed to know. When a non-psychopath smiles, the eyes will squint in a manner that matches the smile. In this post, Garth has the eyes of a seal. We’re dealing with a truly broken man. A man who no longer remembers what being normal is like. Fame has destroyed the insides of one of America’s most beloved performers. What is left is something truly shocking. This is a man devoid of all human emotion and ability to connect on a genuine level. Will superstardom find its next victim in Garth? Only time and the greatest Instagram, Facebook and Twitter feeds of all time will tell. I leave you with the manic state that Garth Brooks now resides in.
