bird_1972 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=199454 I don't like G.Brooks, nor do I shop at Wal-Mart, but there is something slightly disturbing about this business deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Interesting. Wonder if this will take hold. First deal like this I've heard of. Garth not too concerned about his fans who don't live near a Wal-Mart I guess. Or ... does EVERYONE now live near a Wal-Mart! The Evil Empire still rules.

richard saunders Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I'm sure a good majority of his albums were sold there anyways.. I hate Wal-Mart with a passion. They can sell guns but not music with curse words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First ,Garth has more money than anyone needs Second ,I am sure most of his fans have access to a Walmart Third, they can always order online And to end: YES the EVIL Empire rules, unfortunately.

SkinsNut73 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 He retired four years ago. I wonder how many people are still buying his records today? ....and Wal-Marts are EVERYWHERE!!! I have 5 of them within a 15 minute drive of my house.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either work for them, work for a vendor of there's or have to shop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjah Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Crappy, warmed over, lowest-common-denominator schlock gracing the shelves of a store designed from the ground up to sell precisely that type of product? Garth Brooks and Wal-Mart are perfect for each other. At least he's an American product, for better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just skins baby Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Is Garth even viable as a musician these days. Does anybody even care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Good business model. Fewer ways for consumers to have access to buy your product is a great idea. What a Gomer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Good business model. Fewer ways for consumers to have access to buy your product is a great idea. What a Gomer! But a VERY RICH gomer ,Therefore I would not slight his business sense lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sick Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 This is great news! Instead of avoiding Garth Brooks and Wal-Mart separately, I can do it in one fell swoop. Hoorah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
