WHY CAN’T WE EVER BE IN THE NEWS FOR GOOD THINGS?

I figured it would only be a matter of time before video of country music superstar Kenny Chesney’s injury at Saturday’s sell-out concert at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia hit the Internet. And then bam, there it is. It’s like I can predict the future or something.

For those of you that didn’t pay attention when I wrote about this Sunday and have become interested now that national blogs and media are running the story, Chesney caught his right foot in an elevator lifting device while taking the stage in front of 44,424 fans but went on to play the entire show. They had to cut off his bot afterward and he was treated by University of South Carolina medical staff.

So now that this story has blown up, I’m wondering why it is that South Carolina has such a difficult time making national news for positive stuff. You know, stuff that isn’t some kid plotting to blow up his school or a beauty queen becoming the poster child for utter stupidity or countless other things that I don’t feel like linking to.
