Garth Brooks is bringing all his buddies in low locations to his new honky-tonk, the place all of your typical beers will likely be served and the place no transphobes will likely be welcomed. The nation legend stated that Buddies in Low Locations Bar & Honky Tonk, the joint he’s opening quickly in Nashville’s infamous South Broadway District, will be serving Bud Mild regardless of many conservatives’ ongoing boycott of the model.
To catch you up: Again in April, Bud Mild teamed up with social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney for a somewhat innocuous sponsored Instagram post during which she cracked open a chilly one dressed as Holly Golightly. The Breakfast at Tiffany’s protagonist in all probability wouldn’t be too into gentle beer, however no matter, it’s cute! And but, xenophobic right-wingers took challenge with the model deal and relinquished their Bud, all as a result of Mulvaney — gasp — is a transgender girl.
Brooks alluded to the mindless mass pearl-clutching whereas talking about his new bar throughout a panel at Billboard Country Live this week: “I need it to be a spot you’re feeling secure in, I need it to be a spot the place you’re feeling like there are manners and other people like each other. And sure, we’re going to serve each model of beer. We simply are. It’s not our choice to make. Our factor is that this, in case you [are let] into this home, love each other. For those who’re an asshole, there are many different locations on decrease Broadway.”
Ever the gentleman, Brooks didn’t title names, however Billboard factors out {that a} handful of artist-owned watering holes on decrease Broadway have stopped serving Bud Mild for the reason that model sponsored Mulvaney, together with John Wealthy’s Redneck Riviera and Child Rock’s bar.
Again in 2021, Brooks carried out at President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ inauguration ceremony. Since Jimmy Carter, the singer has serenaded at each president’s inauguration ceremony — aside from Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.
