Finally, someone in Hollywood says what we’ve all been thinking for years: Garth Brooks is the last true singer who actually knows the words to the national anthem.

Finally, someone in Hollywood says what we’ve all been thinking for years: Garth Brooks is the last true singer who actually knows the words to the national anthem.

A video from last night’s charity concert in Nashville is going viral, showing Garth Brooks stopping mid-song to remind the crowd that ‘common sense’ still exists. When the audio glitched during his set, Brooks just laughed, pulled out his acoustic guitar, and performed a cappella for ten minutes without missing a beat. Meanwhile, the tech crew was in a panic. The crowd went wild.

But the real kicker? After the show, Brooks reportedly told a reporter: ‘We don’t need auto-tune or fancy light shows. We just need people to remember how to act like decent humans again. It’s called common sense, folks.’

Of course, the usual keyboard warriors are now flipping out in the comments, calling him ‘out of touch’ for suggesting that concerts should be about the music and not the spectacle. But I say good for him. If Garth Brooks says common sense still matters, then maybe we should listen. The man’s been selling out stadiums for decades without a single lip-sync scandal. Just saying.
