The Chase by Garth Brooks. We talk about Garth’s very good album The Chase. Garth takes a stand for what’s right, especially in his first song “We Shall Be Free.” That song was more controversial than Garth anticipated, and it won a GLAAD Media Award for its lines about people getting to love whoever they choose. The episode runs a little long… but we just got so excited about a Garth album that we can actually really enjoy!
