Query: A joke, that isn't even funny

With the release of the painfully horrible CD, Garth Brooks proves once again that his ego knows no bounds.What is obvious is that Brooks hopes to abandon country music. Country music has seen steadily declining sales over the past few years, a trend that, not coincidentally, seems to tie in with its selling out it roots in favor of a bland, safe, suburban guy in cowboy hat feel (which, of course, was led the way by Garth). Now that these sales are off, Garth hopes to jump ship into the pop field. Chris Gaines is merely his testing ground. If it is a big success it is bye bye Garth and hello Gaines. If it is a bomb, he can return to country music, (or his bland version thereof) claim that was Gaines, not him, and then plot his next manipulative gimmick that he must rely on to sell CDs since his horrible music can't stand on its own.
