Oh, and before you go getting your knickers in a twist, the smiley face cancels out the "Kenny Chesney sucks" comment. I learned that one from ya'll.
you see the difference is it's been a while since a lot of us have been to the DBT thread and said they s***
but you just pretty much invited a lot of people over there with that statement and the sad thing is that you fail to realize that. And now we're gonna hafta hear wha wha wha over there too.
Which in a nutshell shows the immaturity of quite a few of you that populate this message board. If a thread isn't what I like, I think I'll go try to get it off track or, if that doesn't work I'll make another inane attempt to p*** Jahfin off. Grow up already.

WTF do you think you've been doing here all day?? Don't tell me to freaking grow up. I personally stay out of your DBT truckers threads now- Last time I was there I posted that I listened and didn't like them and I've stayed out!!! So if you wanna tell someone to grow up you need to trot your butt in front of your nearest mirror and say it to yourself.

if you dont like us and you think we're too immature, then by all means you dont have to stay here and chat with us. Not everyone is as serious as you Jah, most parrotheads arent as a matter of fact.
Thats why we get all dressed up and get drunk and look like a bunch of baffoons that worship a 57 year old bald man.
IMMATURITY IS OUR NATURE

Chesney's music is very calculated and demographic specific. Nothing is left to chance and it sounds like pre-packaged "escapism".

Chesney won't make a huge profit from that song (Island Boy), it won't be released as a single, none of the songs will be released as singles. You checked it out on iTunes, which only means you listened to 30s clips of the songs. Island Boy is a true story, and Its my favorite. I can kinda relate to it.
"Livin' life where stress is the enemy" - KC, Island Boy
Actually, I wasted $9.90 on the album. I really wanted to like it. No worries, the new Ani Difranco was also on my shopping list and it rocks!
well if you were smart, you would have listened to the entire album through CMT.com (for free) before buying it, so then you wouldn't have to waste ten dollars
I'm not very smart. Thank you for taking the high road and pointing that out.
The Chesney record comes down to perspective. I'm listening to it from a rock in the middle of the ocean where life moves a little slower than back on the mainland. Chesney's songs sound like what a tourist, or a Nashville record producer, think their demographic base for Chesney imagines island life to be. I would never say that about a song like "African Friend" which feels completely genuine. The music industry churns out clones to capitalize on pop culture trends: swing, big band, and now island. Chesney's marketing push reminds me of Shania Twain's recent album where they threw on different backing sounds to make it "rock", "country", or "world" so fans would buy multiple copies.

As long as you don't mind me posting the same sort of nonsense in your threads that you do in mine which is something I've never done, by the way but it's never too late to start.

That would be the album that has 19 songs on it and you received both a country and pop version in the same packaging for a very affordable price. You did not have to buy multiple copies. It was brilliant for today's consumer.
