- <p> "TNN has standards; I have standards," says country music
- star Garth Brooks. "On this occasion the two did not cross."
- The singer was stunned last week when his video The Thunder
- Rolls was banned from the Nashville Network and Country Music
- Television. Seems officials couldn't stomach the video's
- violence. Brooks portrays a wife-beating husband whose spouse
- guns him down in the end. A TNN spokesman said Brooks "needs to
- be willing to take responsibility for the video's social
- implications." The network wanted Brooks to add an explanation
- to the video, but he refused.
