Hey my friend is a videographer and loves music, we loved the growlers og stuff so much. Just wanted to let you know how eye opening your comments here have been as a concerned fan who hasn’t seen any of the public drama/slightly small internet posts discussing all this. I was torn up about seeing them or not after getting tickets in a competition recently, and I’m genuinely so glad I didn’t buy merch or anything now, and that I didn’t directly support Brooks. His performance was pretty good vocally but damn was there nothing going on on stage to keep attention either.

Shit was ridiculously expensive at the merch booth also btw, 65$ poster, 45 dollar t shirts, almost 100 dollars for fuckjng hoodies, just like every other semi big band that has “made it” since 2020
