| Kenny Chesney knows how to please a crowd By Kay Luma | Friday, June 20, 2008 | Umm, 7th row from the stage on the main floor? Oh, baby. We were close — no, we were “I-can’t-believe-this” close — to heartthrob country singer Kenny Chesney Thursday night as he sailed in with his “Poets and Pirates Tour 2008” at the i wireless Center in downtown Moline. Heck, in this flood, he could have sailed in for real. But instead, he and the amazing special effects on screen set the scene of rocky seas full of pirate ships, sandy beaches and days of old, perfectly capturing the spirit of carefree summer days and being young. Chesney got people on their feet right away at the beginning of the concert, as he rose out of the center of the stage wearing his signature tight jeans, sleeveless T-shirt and black cowboy hat. He belted out crowd-pleasers like “Live Those Songs Again,” “Summertime” and “I Go Back,” and sang some of the other old favorites that get everyone up and dancing, like “Big Star,” “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems,” and “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.” But what always gets me when I listen to Chesney’s music are the lyrics in many of his songs that so perfectly reflect Midwestern, hometown values — the kind of lyrics that touch your heart. When he sang the song, “Don’t Blink,” I could so relate: “Life goes faster than you think. Don’t blink.”. |
