Garth Brooks documentary on Netflix takes us on the “The Road I’m On,” celebrating this country star’s highs and lows in life and his journey through country music show business. A man of many talents and a lot of wisdom Garth had learnt a lot himself. Here is what we learnt from watching.
- Mums sacrifice everything for their children – she will be your idol and you will be at her mercy even as you grow up. Family is key as they are your number one fans.
- Dads know best. They will advise, council and support with their sternness to make you realistically sort a plan B, which is your key to survival.
- RadioShack was the “Business” – the aid to most 80’s and 90’s wannabe musicians to taking their first steps in the industry of song, be it country or pop.
- Radio was king and still has a place in many of our hearts, even in today’s high end technology movement.
- Fans are your bread and butter. They are your support. Your fan base is your encouragement to carry on and commercially they fund your dreams.
- Nashville is where it’s at when it comes to country music. It’s in its blood, it’s in the water and it’s in the dirt of the streets with the need to be all about the music.
- With Nashville and your dreams, timing is everything. The successes, the failures and the try again later moments.
- Blessings are a curse, curses are a blessing, deal with it the best you can, Garth did and now you can.
- Community will give you the edge on your influence and creativity. Be part of the neighborhood wherever you rest your head.
- Essentially no matter what, it’s all about the existence of country music.
