Kenny Chesney

Yeah.

Because when you're in the middle of it and it's all happening, I mean, you're grateful.

But I think at this point in my life, when I look back on what happened to me and the

The audience that we were able to build, it was rare.

And I'm so just insanely thankful for that, that this kid in college picked up a guitar and wrote a song about a girl.

Ironically enough, I wrote a song.

There was this girl in my persuasion class in college.

And I worked all semester trying to persuade her to pay attention to me and go out with me on any level.

And I was like, okay, I've never written a song before, but I'm gonna write a song for her.

And it was back in the day when you had the recorder and you hit play and record on the tape recorder, right?

A cassette recorder.

Yeah, yeah, a cassette recorder.

And I wrote her a song and I gave it to her

But I made the mistake of, it was the persuasion class was on a Tuesday, Thursday class.

And so I made the mistake of giving it to her on Thursday, which meant I had to wait Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday for any kind of response whatsoever.

So the Tuesday, I just, you know, it was that time for me to walk in and get some sort of response from her.

And look, all semester, she sat right beside me

When I walked in, she was sitting as far away from me in the back order as she could possibly get.

And I went, okay, this tells me two things.

My songs have to get a lot better.
