Kenny Chesney - Right or Wrong?

You know, when I first read that Kenny Chesney was all over the way he won his 4th Entertainer of the Year Award, I thought "idiot ... now I understand why Renee Zellweger dumped this guy...."

In case you missed it, Chesney said (according to Reuters), "I don't think it's right that they picked the one award that means the most, that all artists sacrificed the most for, and turned it into ... a sweepstakes, to seeing who can push people's buttons the hardest on the Internet. It's a complete disrespect of the artists. I think because of that it really diminishes the integrity of the work."

Then I thought about it, considered the whole, boring (and am I the only one who wonders if American Idol is rigged) American Idol finale this week, and I've decided he's right.

Lawyers know who the good lawyers are -- artists would be the best to pick the cream of their crop, too.

Not rigged. Just understand that these are all freak shows - that skill and ability are not rewarded, people vote for goofy reasons (and too many do that on criminal jury cases as well).
