it's friday, friday

We are taking it back to the 90's. The country 90's. Or, the Garth 90's, which is more accurate. Someone uploaded a bazillion videos of Garth's super early and awkward performances recently on youtube (trust me, I know they're new because when I tried to find the performance from the 1991 Academy of Country Music Awards I used to have recorded on VHS as a child it was nowhere to be found and it still isn't) and I had a field day posting all of these.

This is the closest performance I could find to the aforementioned performance. It's roughly the same concept. Cheesy and awful and kind of uncomfortable to watch but oh it's Garth so who cares.


And then this gem of his first television performance on AM Oklahoma.


I remember watching his performance of Shameless where he always held a rose.


His ever-so-controversial The Thunder Rolls song. Gah.


HOLY CRAP I FOUND IT HOLY CRAP. You know how I know? Reba introducing him. I used to have her monologue memorized.

And not even kidding you, the girl with the blonde feathered hair and bangs? I so wanted to be her.


I die.

Let's also take a moment to appreciate Reba's fringe.


Also, please make note of a few things.

1. His colorful shirts
2. His piercing expressions
3. He is polite and tips his hat

I will probably watch that last performance nineteen more times.

Thank you for coming on this journey with me.
