Of Course a Father Shot His Son for Singing Kenny Chesney...

In "it was justified" news, a 70 year old man in Shingletown California shot his 50 year old son as the latter was singing a karaoke rendition of a tune from the New Country crooner and puka shell necklace aficionado. No word on what particular song sent the dad over the edge, though I bet you it was that "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" one. Imagine that scenario: some redneck in his wood-paneled rec room, belting out "No Shoes...No Shirt..." and then before he can get the next line out his Sam Elliott lookalike dad busts into the room with a .357 and says "Problem" right before he sprays the room with bullets. There's also that duet Chesney does with Uncle Kracker, "When the Sun Goes Down." That would be a good one too on account of the pun, Sun/Son! Get it! When the son goes down! As in, the son goes down when his dad shoots him! Lovely. Anywho, the son is okay. He got hit in the arm. He'll live. He just might have to rethink the whole karaoke thing and maybe check his dad into a home. The lesson here is that America truly is the home of the best and the worst. The worst, in that it produced Kenny Chesney. And the best in that it has finally come up with a pretty reasonable response to Kenny Chesney songs. Read the full details of the shooting here.
