I had a Garth Brooks phase when I was pretty young and I had a friend growing up that was Indian and super into Garth Brooks as well. We saw him in concert sometime in the 90s together. At the time I didn't think anything of it, but I've looked back on it since then and I just can't imagine how weird that must have been for his parents who were fairly devout followers of Hinduism. Pretty awesome they'd let the kid expand his horizons like that.
Not related to the topic, though.
