If my Facebook timeline and Twitter feed are any indication, Garth Brooks still reigns supreme atop the country music world, despite retiring 13 years ago. His “Live From Las Vegas” special is just over halfway done on CBS, and it’s one of the top 5 trending topics on Twitter right now, and country stars seemingly are in as much awe and appreciation as I am. Check out some of the comments being posted online tonight by his peers!

Watching #Garth right now. Country music’s Elvis! Also, I never realized how much he and @glennbeck look alike. Am I right?

Garth is a true singer / songwriter / performer. No smoke & mirrors, no hiding behind a band! Just raw country music!
