Cabernet Logic: Kenny Chesney's Mixed Message

Yesterday Kenny Chesney hosted a free concert for spring breakers...yup, free, no strings attached. They called the club, asked permission to perform free for up to 4 hours and that's it...a great experience for everyone involved.

With all the free talk around the web lately, I started thinking here is an artist that finally gets it - whether his label, his management or him personally - THEY GET IT...

...until the third song. The third song is the one where Kenny reached out and requested a video camera from a group in the crowd that had used it during the first few songs. The song before, Kenny had used a fan's still camera on stage, so the video camera's owner gladly handed over her camera for the most unforgettable Spring Break memories...

...oddly enough Kenny did not turn the camera on, he actually continued singing and fiddled with it until he got the tape door to open. Once opened, he popped the tape out, put it in his pocket, continued singing the song and casually handed the fan her camera back...the tape in question was then tossed over to his tour manager who shoved it in his pocket with a scowl. No explanation, no apology...no THANKS!

...I am wondering, why offer yourself free...why represent that you finally get it and that giving it away is a great starting point. That tape would have started conversations, would have sold CDs and would have been part of a story for years to come...now Kenny will be part of a story alright, one of a bitter ex-fan!

Irony is that everyone rolled video on their phones and still cameras. Think someone should point out to Kenny that a "still" camera like the Powershot can actually record minutes of vid in high-def? Saying one message and living the other...
