On Tour with Kenny Chesney...and Rascal Flatts!
In most places being 3rd is a bronze medal, but when the dust's settled on Pollstar's annual halfway tally of ticketsellers, being 3rd means fast company. For Kenny Chesney -- who saw himself behind rock icon Bruce Springsteen and progressive jammers the Dave Matthews Band in 2003 -- this year, he's locked up with seminal soul/funk force Prince and pop teen queen Britney Spears. "It's one of those things, you know, you don't think of yourself in that kind of crowd," says Chesney with an almost embarrassed laugh. "I mean, I'm a guy from East Tennessee who grew up listening to Conway and Alabama, Randy Travis and Keith Whitley. THAT'S the music from where I come from -- and sure we loved Bruce and Van Halen, but that's not necessarily the kind of company you think you're gonna be keeping when you grow up, let alone share a list like this." Last week in Columbus, OH. Kenny was given a Ohio State jersey by a fan in the front row and Rascal Flatts were given jersey's with their names embroidered on the back.
