Random music news

In reading through the latest issue of Rolling Stone last night this little tidbit struck me as really strange.
Garth Brooks has surpassed Elvis to become the second-best-selling artist of all time. According to the RIAA, the country star has shipped 123 million albums in the U.S. (The Beatles hold the record, with 170 million copies shipped).

Wow. Garth Brooks, huh? I can't really say that I know any of his music, but... it just kinda surprises me.

"50 Million Garth Brooks Fans Can't Be Wrong!" (or can they?)

I've already changed my name to Garthreilly.

WP,
Well, let's not forget the alter ego Garth performed under for awhile (if memory serves me correctly - though I can't remember the name). So maybe his fans are split between the two. Or, maybe they're doubled!

MR,
So should we start addressing you as "GR"?
