On Wednesday Clowns Were are The Center Of Kenny Chesney Being Fired was a top story. Here is the recap: (Radio.com) What does Kenny Chesney have against clowns? Or rather, what do clowns have against him? Because apparently a couple of clowns once got him fired.

The singers attracted listeners, who in turn bought hot dogs.
