I don’t have any great love for Garth Brooks, Chris Gaines, or their music, but what makes you say that?
From my reading of the various articles about the case, it seems like a pretty straightforward breach of contract suit; Brooks gave the hospital money, they promised him something then went back on their promise, this made him mad and he sued.
