although i’m personally not a big “new pop-country” music fan i know there are a lot of people that are…which is why Ford Field will be at standing room only capacity this Saturday. Kenny Chesney ^[1] (i like to think of him as a Jimmy Buffet for the new generation) brings his “Flip Flop Summer” tour to town. it’s an all day event full of big named opening acts all leading up to the crown prince of the sand & saddle himself. there will be seperate parties in the Ford Field parking lot as well as at the Marriott Hotel, too. listen to his music and it’ll make you want to sit on the beach with a beer in your hand and your arm around your horse. and even though i’ll never be as big a fan as all the Ches-nuts in his fan club i gotta admit that every once and a while i’ll catch myself tapping a toe along to his big hit “Summertime”. giddy up.
