music, \u201cassholes,\u201d the country community jumped into action. A campaign of emails and phone calls to the ACM began, and it didn\u2019t take long for it to work.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re convinced that if we gave Brooks a lifetime achievement award,\u201d said Academy President Joe Barron, \u201chis own peers would boo him offstage.\u201d Brooks was set to receive the award at next year\u2019s event. \u201cWe\u2019re not even sure if he\u2019s gonna be invited,\u201d said Barron.<\/p>\n
