Kenny Chesney gets top billing at Saturday’s big country show at Browns Stadium. No surprise here – dude has sold, like, a gazillion records this decade.

Very tacky comment about Keith Urban. He’s an outstanding entertainer and not just for the women. I saw him in concert and Gary Allan was the opener. I thought Gary was good, but Keith was phenomenal and not just because he is hot looking! The man is super talented!
Well, here’s another person who thought your comment about Keith was tacky. Keith would be the ONLY reason I’d go to that concert.

Pray we’re not wading in sewage again!!
I agree Keith would also be the only reason I’d go to the concert!
