- GARTH BROOKS: COUNTRY COOL
-
- In country music superstar Garth Brooks' new album, _The Chase_,
- a rousing song titled "We Shall Be Free" makes it clear that
- we'll be unshackled only "when we're free to love anyone we
- choose" -- a line Brooks says is meant to include same-sex
- couples. (The song also addresses racism and other inhumanities.)
-
- In a _Newsweek_ interview Brooks said, "I don't know where
- someone gets off telling human beings they can have some rights
- and not others... For those people that feel religiously that
- homosexualit is wrong... I say, 'Hey, man, stay on your own
- side.' To penalize someone for being homosexual, I don't think
- that's our place."
-
- This message from conservative Nashville is most welcome, and
- support for gay family values couldn't be more timely. Give him a
- pat on the back by writing to:
