Kenny Chesney and His Passion For Cowboy Hats
Does the name Kenny Chesney ring a bell in your ears? Or does it set off a soothing country melody, some heartfelt lyrics sung to the simplistic strumming of the guitar, evoking a feel of the Wild, Wild West? Well, then you are absolutely on the right track. I am talking about the following:
Current Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year who recently played a sold out concert at the Soldier Field, Soldier Field, proving that he is one of the few performers in any genre capable of filling a stadium of that size.
Kenny Chesney, the quintessential country singer donning the Old American attire of the wild Rodeo or the brooding Cowboy replete with the Palm Leaf Straw Cowboy Hats, cowboy boots, a belt with two pistols slung on them (but since he is a musician , he would employ the six strings instead of the six bullet instrument), someone who can move hordes of listeners to the fist pumping yet profoundly lyrical content of his music and rock them with the a sub urban hillbilly twist (something which grew out of post modernism shaking hands with the idiom of country music).
You might have even heard about his short lived flirtation with the glitzy, glamorous life of Beverly Hills when he got married to Renee Zellweger for a ultra short span of 9 months (now isn't that curious?).
Now these musicians, and especially Kenny Chesney earn a huge amount of money for the valuable music they are able to provide their listeners with. Let us take a look at his earnings so that we may be able to drive home our central argument with precision. He is the third highest paid entertainer in America, lagging just behind Madonna and Celine, and he is way ahead of say Bruce Springsteen or Coldpaly. Last year he earned above $86 million from touring and record sales, a figure that can put countless of Sudans and Darfurs out of misery. Nonetheless, you are also aware of the fact, that like sports personalities, he too has a couple of brand endorsements. For instance, do you remember the billboard you saw by the side of the highway, while returning home from work? Chesney is the guy in a beer commercial with his hands on an acoustic guitar and his feet stuck in the sand. He also has his own range of palm leaf straw cowboy hats, which are currently one of the most sought after commodities in the fashion market.
Going to a Chesney concert is never complete unless you, as a devout fan of the artist, are wearing one of these high-crowned, wide-brimmed hat best known as the defining piece of attire for the North American cowboy. And keep in mind, not all shops keep authentic pal leaf straw hats because paper is either way much cheaper to procure or the profits are also high, because you are cutting down on the production value. So if you want to look cool, and experience Chesney's music in totality, get hold of one of these Kenny Chesney cowboy hats.
