Mailbag: Are They For Real?

I have lyrics to a song that only you guys can sing or the whole meaning will be destroyed. I only write lyrics and do not have a composing partner but I figure that will even add more of your special touch. Its kindof a little away from the bands usual style but I know only yall can pull it off.

Hey Toby,

I understand that you do commercials for Texas and you realize you are from Oklahoma. I WAS a really big fan but it is kinda a kick in the face when i see you advertising for Texas. If you love ford cool but my honest opinion you should not forget where you came from and who brought you to where you are today. I think you are a trader and because of that I will never pay to see you in concert or any other function. You have sold you yourself short but I know I’m not the only one that feels this way in Oklahoma. You use to work with my father at a club in Oklahoma and I even have a signed autograph from you to me that now means nothing cause you are not truly an Oklahoman. You are a sell out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’VE WRITTEN A REALLY GREAT SONG THAT NEEDS TO BE SUNG BY A GOOD COUNTRY MUSIC STAR LIKE CARRIE UNDERWOOD,GRETCHEN WILSON OR FAITH HILL…HOW DO CONTACT SOMEONE TO SEE IF THEY’RE INTERESTED IN THIS. GREAT LYRICS TO A FUNNY LOVE SONG.

are you crazy who ever wrote that thumbs down on kenny chesneys dont blink is messed up obviously they dont no what life is or how fast it really goes…and i think it was a great way to express that…because life does go like a bullet why not take an old mans words that are true and real life and make it into a song because every time you do blink something or someone has changed. the comment about being 6 and taking a nap and then being 25 is really how much change does go on for the parent, grandparent, a close friend or even your self. whoever was the one to post such a rude thing has obviously no idea about life or is “Blinking” to much.

I think the review of Kenny Chesney’s song “Don’t Blink” was rediculous. If the writer of the review, (Matt C) didn’t have the intelligence to hear the song and make sense of the lyrics, he probably shouldn’t be writing reviews. The lyrics are straightforward and simple. The reviewer says, “You take a nap as a six year old and wake up 25? I don’t think so. The lyric is filled with so much non-sensical rambling that a humorist could reinterpret it as a cruel parody of dementia…” He must not have ever heard the phrase, ” Don’t blink, because life’s so fast you just might miss it.” Im pretty sure that the general population can understand that song. It isn’t very hard to comprehend. My ten year old understands it.

The writer is just trying to illustrate how quickly life goes by! I will say that it is not the greatest song i’ve ever heard, and I am not even a big Kenny Chesney fan, nor am I a fan of the songwriter, but I think it is a good song and will be a hit.

If the reviewer doesn’t have the brain function, or capacity to write intelligent reviews I would LOVE to take his place. I hope that you people aren’t paying him to write these “non-sensical ramblings.” It seems that I understand music more fully than he does.

I am glad to read that Ashley Monroe hasn’t given up or in. I have been waiting my whole life for this album. I dont really know why I havent been able to find it but I’m pissed off about the whole deal. She is the best thing since Connie Smith or Reba. I’m just an old Fat Bellied Redneck from Missouri but I know great singers and songs I will own all of Ashley’s if she keeps it real (Country Real)

I’d like to take Kenny Chesney and his band and friends on a VIP tour of the US capitol when they come to Wash DC later this month. I have toured many singers actors and celebs and I like Kenny’s music. I’d be honored to tour him. I can take them on a a private tour to places that they could never go to or see on a public tour.

Thanks,
Rich

My very close family friend, I call him my adopted son! And I Love Rascall Flatts. Our absoulte most favorite song is Im moving on. We have the CD, and no matter were we go that is the ONLY music we play, I mean seriously that song ONLY! We can be on a one hour drive and we play it over and over! I am playing it as I right this! I am 46 years old and my adopted son is 20, one day I said “Warren, Will you be sure this song is played at my funeral? Warren said, I will do one better than that, I will sing it at your funeral! That just brought tears to my eyes. Warren does an excellent job at singing Im moving on!

What we really need Is a CD with the instrumentals only of Im moving on and we can’t find it anywhere. We would greatly apperciate any help you could give us in getting the instrumentals of Im moving on.

Thank you very much,
Joe

Your review of “In Heaven” is so TOTALLY off the mark. Perhaps you’ve never experienced the pain, or known anyone close who has. That song reverberates in my mind, looping…looping…

Sorry, but I disagree wholeheartedly. And I’m a musician/songwriter/backup singer, plus I have a BA degree in Ballet. It’s not like I don’t know what I’m talking about.
