I did this to someone once. Had no idea who he was, then he told me and I admitted the name sounded familiar but I still wasn't sure, he seemed a bit confused, but overall relieved.

I didn't know who Garth Brooks was at the time. I at least knew his name after that. It was a long time ago, I was just an autistic weirdo in a Slipknot shirt.

Looked him up, apparently he’s a famous country singer. So, not anyone important or interesting.

It's funny. Because folk, which is kinda close to country, is super interesting as a genre. It's one of my favorite genres of music, right up there with rock.

You're lucky you got away with your life. There have been dozens, if not hundreds of missing persons cases that correlate to Garth Brooks' concert tour locations. It's rumored that he is responsible for the majority of missing persons in the continental US.

Surely that’s Ted Cruz, the Zodiac Killer?

Aww I loved Garth Brooks as a kid. He started touring again a few years ago and I went to a show and it was 10/10

I still don't know who it is tbh.

You need more friends in low places; where the whisky drowns and the beer chases the blues away.

I’m friends with plenty of alcoholics and none of them listen to folk or country music.

They’re the “metal and whiskey makes the misery more fun” kind of people.

Well, I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong. But then, I've been there before; everything's all right, I'll just say goodnight and I'll show myself to the door.

Well I didn't mean to cause a big scene. Just give me an hour and then I'll be as high as that ivory tower that you're livin in.

It's rumored that he's a serial killer
