If you EVER underestimated Garth Brooks, see this video he forced the 1993 Super Bowl to air

of his controversial song "We Shall Be Free" if they wanted him to sing the national anthem.

And see this article first for background on why this was so important: https://tasteofcountry.com/garth-brooks-national-anthem-super-bowl . You'll find video of the anthem there, too. He did sing it - but first he gave the Super Bowl and the network no choice but to air a video they didn't want to air.

Video showing that airing. Skip the first 20 seconds, an ad for a Michael Jackson special. Then you'll hear the video introduced, with no hint of the ultimatum Garth had given them less than an hour earlier.
