[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Kenny Chesney[/lastfm] says of July 4th holidays growing up, “Summertime in East Tennessee consisted of playing baseball, and that’s what I did on the Fourth of July. They had a big fireworks display after all the games. It was usually you trying to win the affection of some little girl over at the concession stand … Things don’t change very much!”
