re: Whomever allowed this to happen...

Good points, I agree with your thought process. If someone said that about floyd, I would realize that the only floyd they're familiar with is probably 2 or 3 songs from the radio. They probably wouldn't realize the sheer brilliance of the band, and appreciate the clear proression they made as a band from the early psychadelic days where they just jammed into a musical power form the early 70s through the mid 80s.

I think this is a bit different though. The brantley gilbert songs I listened to in college are the same kinda songs I hear today. I haven't heard much variation out of aldean either. Now, I readily and freely admit I don't have all their albums and haven't heard every song they've ever made. I realize FGL is different than the rest, in a much shittier way. They are a joke and should be laughed out of the industry. Aldean does appear to have some talent...although I think my generalization about his music does ring somewhat true. And I never said you were in the wrong for enjoying his music a the lake or on the grill or whatever...music is subjective and you like what you like.

My main point, which I stand by, was that the reason him and others as SO popular is because it's easy. It appeals to a mass audience using simple stereotypes for the most part, just like big bang theory. Nothing wrong with that, just saying.

ultimately I have no issues with the guitar being hung in BM...its just a guitar

ignoring all the above though, since it's just opinion that doesn't mean anything...I don't think the guitar should be there as it has nothing to do with UGA athletics, unless you want to make the VERY LOOSE connection that the concert was played in a place that one of our teams plays. But there's been concerts at stegeman before, why no relics from there? BM should be a place to display our athletic achievements, accomplishments, and awards. A guitar from a concert that just happened to be in the stadium doesn't belong. The music building would be an absolutely perfect spot for it, no reason why it shouldn't go there.
