9. Garth was my favorite performer at President Obama's first inaugural concert.

He is the father of several, I think 3, daughters.

To my knowledge, Garth is the only performer from that inaugural concert who walked out onstage and made a special point of waving at the adorable little Obama girls.

It was pretty sweet.

And then, he proceeded to blow every one away with his performance.

He is also the author and performer of one of the best songs about love and tolerance since "Imagine". Garth's contribution..."We Shall Be Free". I get chills.

He is a good guy.
