#1 Garth is learning the F around and find out rule applies to the rich country stars too!

#2 Garth has always been little more than a country lite kind of singer. I'll always have fun memories of singing "Friends in Low Places" with my army buddies, but I have no love for this idiot beyond that.

#3 It's hard to boycott things I don't listen to or watch or purchase anyway, but I'll try.

I got 5 bottles of single malt to work through, forget having a beer of any brand.

#4 Not a country fan by any stretch but Garth always seemed to me a pop music country sort; definitely not in the Johnny Cash mold. This bar opening of his will go very badly - talk about an inability to read public sentiment.

#5 If your low place is the concessions line for Bud Lite, your friends are imaginary ones.

#7 I say good for Garth! As that fat commie Mao said, "Let a thousand malted beverages bloom." Choice is good. So do offer it unapologetically. Just don't expect to sell a lot.

#8 Garth got too popular for his own good and lost track of himself and who got him there. In trying to please everyone (especially those who never liked him) he now stands alone. Lesson there somewhere.

#9 The entire point of celebrity is "being celebrated." I have seen the need to be liked ruin a person.

I wake up glad every morning that I really don't care what most people think of me.

#10 The common wisdom is that 60% of bars and restaurants fail within the first year, 80% within five years. Those bars that survive make money hand over fist.

On the other hand, he’s opening the thing in Nashville, which is a loudly Progressive city full of loudly Progressive musicians, so his positioning may be a benefit rather than a drawback for the bar even as he loses fans nationwide.

#11 I found the advertising very appropriate.

Bud Light is not a beer.
The person in the picture is not a woman.

Perfect match.

#12 30+ years ago he sang some great songs. Then he got divorced, married Trisha Yearwood and mostly disappeared while getting fatter. He's irrelevant to the generation that buys music today.

#13 Garth always seemed to me a pop music country sort;

The same could be said for a lot of country stars these days. Unfortunate. I miss the twang.

#14 married Trisha Yearwood

Yeah, and if you ever watched her cooking show you might get an understanding for how he feels about Bud Light.
