Kenny Chesney?

[cici_in_socal]

Complaining about the headliners is so pointless. Festivals like these will always have bigger names with a more widespread appeal in order to draw larger audiences. Im sure people that enjoy Kenny Chesney realize that he is not playing classic or traditional country music. So why make a big deal about it. There are so many other acts to check out over the weekend. I am personally excited about Emmylou Harris, Neko Case, Alejandro Escovedo and Willie Nelson, among others. Instead of bitching about the artists you don't want to see, get excited about the ones you do!

I'll drink to that, Noisemachine!

How bout we don't even respond to these types of post, and maybe that would cut down on the people who post them. Look at all the attention....just for this person to shoot off at the mouth about what he thinks of Kenny Chesney.....

I have to admit - i have to crack up when i read all these posts from people. I find it very comical how many of these people feel as if they are "holy" enough to determin what is considered good music for others - Or have determined certain types of music the only "real music". They have somehow decided that when they like a certain type of music - all of sudden perfection has happened - Because they have discovered it. God forbid, there was no good music before them or after them. Look folks, music was created and has evolved because is gave people a feeling - a feeling that appealled to them. That is simply what it is all about. As for me, I like Kenny Chesney. I like the way his music sounds. I like the way it makes me feel. I don't care if you don't like it - It won't stop me from listening. I am sure you have music you like - and I am sure you won't stop listening because of anybody else's opinion. Go ahead - turn it up.

I keep hearing terms like: sold out, commercialized, pop, homosexual, "not true country". WHO CARES - what does that have to do with whether a person likes it or not? If it does, your priorities are obviously messed up. In my opinion, the only good reason to label an artist is to help find it in the "record store" or "juke box".

All i ask, is that you simply find joy in any music you choose - just avoid any personal attacks based on very limited information.

No kidding...music is music...everyone chooses to enjoy whatever artist/songs they choose to enjoy. The good thing is, we all can choose what we want to listen to...so if you enjoy an artist...go listen to them...if not, don't. It really is that simple.

Amen musicman! My sentiments exactly!

Just curious, to some of you:

If there was a great buffet restaurant opening up and they named some of the vegitables that would be available, and on of those was peas....now stay with me here...

How much sense would it make for me to come on a board and go on and on about how I can't stand peas. Peas are terrible, peas should not be allowed to be called a vegitable let alone be called good tasting. You people shouldn't waste your time going to that grand opening because for goodness sakes there will be peas there!!!! How could anyone want to eat peas?

Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? Just apply that to someone posting about a certain artist, any artist. It is a personal choice.

Good point! LOL! For the record...I don't like peas but sure enjoy the jamacian hot wings there! LOL!

I thought Stagecoach had "done good" by putting Kenny on as a headliner for their inaugural festival. Kenny being on the bill was the main reason why I bought a ticket. If he signed on, I knew it would be a well-run festival. He's a smart guy. I am a rocker turned country fan because of Keith and Kenny, but I've come to enjoy Montgomery Gentry, Jason Aldean, and a bunch of the new country acts...including that blonde who plays guitar and teaches em what they need to learn, ha! It's a diverse genre. Ever see the Jack Black movie School of Rock? Rock is a diverse genre too. Check it out -- There is acid rock, punk rock, heavy metal, classic rock, pop rock...and that's just the beginning. So if "country" just has "old-style" and new, pop, or rock-influenced stuff going on now, so what? Not everybody has to like all of it. I'm all for the breadth of the genre. That's why Baskin Robbins sells 31 flavors. We are all individuals with our own preferences!!!! Heeellllooo!!!
