Garth Brooks video from his single We Shall Be Free won Video of the Year, May 11, 1993 at the 28th Academy of Country Music Awards. It rose to #12 on the Billboard Country charts, making it his first single to miss the top ten, due to being banned from some radio stations. I guess its message of love, forgiveness and tolerance was too much for the good, ol' white boy establishment.
Way to go, Garth!!
I could not find a clip of the actual video to post, but the song's words are powerful enough. You can view it on-line, but here is his performance of We Shall Be Free on the Muppet Show.
