  A Message From Kenny following the ACM Awards.

  Friends…

              I want to thank each of you personally for your part in this 4th Entertainer of the Year Award… You are not just the reason we do this, you are a lot of what makes us Entertainer of the Year. Beyond even your votes – which were critical – but the way you inspire me and the guys. We are more because you give so much… and I want to make sure you know how much I appreciate you, and how much a part of this you guys are.

              Just hearing the sounds from the parking lot when everyone’s out grilling and hanging with their friends makes me wanna get out there and rock. To be part of that kind of a good time is the reason I started going to shows, and it’s absolutely why I live to do this.

              Which is part of the confusion over my response to the change in the awards criteria. There’s a lot more to being Entertainer of the Year than what we show you… and that’s because I want the music to just be your music, your songs, your life – the way it was for me. I’ve always been a bit uncomfortable with the amount of information that gets out there about how many trucks, how we do the effects, those sorts of things… because I don’t want it to be about semis, I want what we do to be about that moment when you hear the music and we hear you.

              To me, Entertainer of the Year is about the work that goes into it. I don’t ever want you  worrying about the work; I want you living the songs… being in the moment of the music… finding your life on the radio, whether it’s something easy like “Summertime” or a song that helps you through a rough time like “I Go Back” or “There Goes My Life.”

              That was my point. Let the people who do the work, judge the work part of it… let the fans love what we do for that. And that was what I was being asked about… what a lot of people in the business were talking about… and frankly something an awful lot of artists and business people have told me they not only agree with, but something the entire media room applauded pretty resoundingly after I addressed it Sunday night.

              Sure, to make me sound ungrateful is a sexy way to spin this to drive viewers. It’s controversy, and that sells. But realistically – and based on the response in our fan forum – you know how important you are to me, how much I believe in the way we’ve all built this together. You, the fans, are the reason I keep pushing, keep striving, keep wanting to be more and better.

              When I stood on the stage and said “this means the world to me,” I meant it… because it means not only am I blessed with the best fans in the world, but you guys were willing to stand up for us and be counted. It’s not the same award… given for the same things… but knowing how much you care, how much you believe in this dream, well, that is everything.

              So please know… I love you. I believe in you – and the way you believe in this music, these nights we get to share, the way it call comes together when we’re together. There is nothing like the feeling of being out there with you guys… and I live my whole life just for those moments. Thank you for that, because in the end, that is what matters the most to me.

  Poets & Pirates Soldiers On -- Titans' Doctor Gives Chesney Conditions, Greenlight for This Weekend

  Poets & Pirates Soldiers On --
  Titans' Doctor Gives Chesney Conditions, Greenlight for This Weekend

   

       Nashville, TN: After a heart-stopping mishap on the hydraulic lift being used for the entrance of Kenny Chesney's 2008 Poets & Pirates Tour's stadium shows, where his boot was lodged between the lift and the stage for nearly 40 seconds as the lift motor kept trying to push the platform up, Chesney has been given a green light - with conditions - to play his scheduled concert stops this weekend in Texas from the Tennessee Titans' sports medicine/orthopedic specialist.
  
       Having played his entire 100 minute plus set at Columbia, SC's Williams-Brice Stadium with a decided limp and tears in his eyes from the pain, Chesney resolved to hit that stage no matter what. After a series of tests with his own orthopedist in Nashville, it has been determined that he will be able to maintain his commitments.
  
       “Dr. Elrod got that the last thing I want to do is cancel shows, but also that I don't want any kind of lasting damage… because being able to hit that stage and really rock the fans is important to me,” Chesney explained after getting word that he was good to go to Austin. “He told me it's going to hurt -- though nothing could hurt worse than Saturday I don't think -- and they can give me something to deaden the pain when I get out there.
  
       “I also have to have a doctor standing by should something give, but I'm going to tape it up and I'm going to get out there. Hearing that crowd in Columbia this weekend, they reminded me about the power people's passion for music has. You know, the way people respond to songs… that response is every bit as powerful sometimes as the songs themselves.
  
       “All I know is I didn't want to disappoint anyone in Columbia, who'd been out in the parking lots since the day before… either going to the Next Big Star competition or just partying with their friends… and if they were having that kind of a party, I was gonna be there.”
  
       Be there he was. Though his toes sustained most of the damage -- and he is basically a hematoma from the ankle down, Chesney -- who needed two shots of morphine for pain after leaving the stage -- is optimistic that careful monitoring this weekend and paying attention to the wear and tear this week will return him to full flexibility and strength in a matter of weeks.
  
       “If you want to push your limits, you have to respect what the doctors tell you,” Chesney admits. “It was scary for a moment… you don't know what's happening and you just feel this pain. Once you're out of there, though, the crowd carries you -- and given how the fans in Austin, Oklahoma City and Dallas have always been to us, they're gonna bring their best and really rock us, too.”
  
       With 11 ACM nominations, a tour sponsorship from Corona Extra, a new single that hit the Top 10 just four weeks after its official add date and the only country tour to play stadiums, Chesney is poised to have a year to truly remember. The last thing he's gonna do is let an injury sideline him.
