Sad to say, it's reckoned that one out of every four people in Ireland have
seen a Garth show. I know it's a small country but...
Unbelievable but true.

He'd be a hell of a shortstop. With that big ole punkinhead of his, there
wouldn't be room for a line drive to slip by. Of course, the eclipse that

He is OBSESSED with the notion of being crowned the biggest selling artist of
