Brooks planning urban hoedown?
NEW YORK - Calling all friends in low places: Garth Brooks reportedly is cooking up an urban hoedown. The country music superstar will play a free concert in Central Park this summer in the only New York-area stop on his world tour, the New York Post reported Tuesday. Craig Konieczko, a spokesman for the city Parks Department, declined to comment on the report, but confirmed that Brooks and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani will make a "special announcement" today. "This is going to be huge," said Darrin Smith, program director of Y-107, a country music station in the city's northern suburbs. "The entire New York area is so starved for country."
