Country music fans left bitterly divided over Garth Brooks being inducted into Austin City Limits' Hall of Fame


While many of the musician's supporters were ecstatic over the news, some people on the web were not pleased that he had achieved the feat.

He wrote a scathing post on the topic and shared it to his website, branding Garth's upcoming induction as a 'naked attempt to draw attention to the show and to appease corporate sponsors.' Stars who were previously inducted into Austin City Limits' Hall of Fame include Sheryl Crow (left), Rosanne Cash (right), Loretta Lynn, and B.B. 'But some Austin or Texas legend that never had the benefit of a major label, corporate radio, or massive tours may have their legacy cemented by an ACL Hall of Fame induction that otherwise could go forgotten or diminished if not for that opportunity.'
