"Callin' Baton Rouge" may very well be Garth Brooks's best song. And let me tell you something, his fans understand that very well:
In the waning hours of Saturday, April 30, the ground beneath Louisianan boots trembled.
Just east of the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge, nestled into the Louisiana State University campus, county star Garth Brooks performed a local fan-favorite song at a jam-packed Tiger Stadium.
The crowd's furor was so strong it registered as a small earthquake, according to the university seismograph.
Okay, it's kind of understandable: Garth Brooks started playing "Callin' Baton Rouge" in Baton Rouge. So of course they're going tear the house down. Denver does the same thing when he sings "Much Too Young" in that city.
Still, an earthquake? Those are some hardcore fans down there in Baton Rouge.
For reference, here's the performance; it's a doozy. Not hard to see why this ended up on the Richter.
Brooks has been singing that song for 30 years and he can still bring the house down with it!
