Billboard interview
Chesney says that male country singers ‘objectify’ women in an interview with Billboard.
Over the last several years, it seems like anytime anybody sings about a woman, she’s in cutoff jeans, drinking and on a tailgate—they objectify the hell out of them. Twenty years ago, I might have written a song like that— I probably did. But I’m at a point where I want to say something different about women.
El Cerrito Place commentary
Chesney talks about his song, El Cerrito Place, from his album, Welcome To The Fishbowl. Chesney:
I’ve loved that song for a while. There is a certain longing in this song that in a lot of ways I really relate to. It’s about wanting something that’s not there. The character in the song has a certain insanity that I think is very relate-able with a lot of people.
