1007.0. "What`s up!" by POLAR::LALUMIERE () Wed Sep 04 1996 01:25

    
      A year or maybe two years ago a very well known musical talent
    of 30 years or more was in Ottawa to recieve the Govener General`s
    award for the arts. This person is Neil Young. The day he received
    his award there was a small part in one of the lesser of the two local
    papers. Not long after that the Eagles stopped into Ottawa for a show,
    again no big deal, a small review of the show appeared in both the local
    papers. There has been countless celeberties and heads of state in our 
    nations capital over the last couple of years, but NONE, have received
    as much attention as this GARTH BROOKS guy. Today after playing two
    shows at the Corel Center its like god has come Ottawa. His face was on
    the COVER of both local papers with major write ups and even a picture
    of the mayor giving him an Ottawa Rough Riders jersey....
     What`s the big freak`in deal with Garth Brooks? Surely Neil Young
    deserved as much if not more press than this hillbilly.
     Over the weekend the U.S.A attacked Iraq, again. Garth Brooks makes
    the cover of the paper the day after. what does this mean?

    USA attack Irack and then Garth Brook shows up on the front page, and
    you wonder what it means ? Sounds pretty obvious to me !
    Two words: 1- conspiracy 2- cover up
    Need I say more: we all know who and why, don't we ?
    Trust me, we've seen before, and it's the same thing all over again.

    I think the banjo picking, jug blowing, truck driving, shotgun touting
    hillbillies are taking over the world and they must be stopped! Between
    this music and Hip Hop Rap, I find the world of music slowly
    regressing (into what? Disco again? this really scares me). I say we 
    make our stand at the Rockies! This is of course just my opinion. 
                                  
    Whatever happened to the rumor Pink Floyd was coming to the Ottawa in
    September? Was this just another Bear publicity stunt?
    
    Cheers,

    Garth is milking a cow and he knows it. If 60,000 people want to spend
    $50.00 a head to see him swing on a rope ala Tarzan, all the power to him.
    Half of his 18-wheelers are for bringing all that Canadian cash back to
    Oklahoma. How come Garth (playing at the Corel Centre) didn't get a
    Senator's shirt?
    
    P.s.
    If Mahaney wants to go all the way to the Rockies to make a 
    stand, let him go. I looked on the map, you have to go through Winnipeg
    to get to the Rockies and you have to leave yesterday to get there
    tomorrow so I'm staying home. Maybe I'd go over to the Gatineau's if
    enough people say they are going. Does anyone have a Habachi?
    
    p.p.s.
    
    Never mind Pink Floyd, Gail Gavan is playing at the Perth Fair (Friday)
    AND the Renfrew Fair(Saturday) this weekend, spend your money in the
    Valley instead! Cost you about $10.00 a head for the whole day to attend
    either fair! Much cheaper than Garth.
    Take your whole family, if you don't have one, take mine.
    
    Support live music, even Garth. Banjo's need new strings from time to
    time also...

    Re:.3
    
     He got both an Ottawa Rough Riders and an Ottawa Senators Jersey....
    ...because the mayor likes him. (I wonder if she payed for them or if
    the tax payers picked up the tab )
     Almonte fair this weekend as well!!??
    
    Re:.2

    P.S.  The conflict between the States and Iraq made the cover today.

Take it from someone who has always disliked country music.  Garth Brooks
is well worth it.

My wife's company has a suite at the Corel Center and we were able to get
front-suite/front-stage seats, catered with beer, pop, hot food, etc...
all that stuff that Digital wouldn't do for it's employees!!  And apparently
we do have a suite at the Corel Center.
