Below are some answered questions by Fans to Kenny.
How does Kenny decide what songs he makes videos for?...and do we know if he is making another video off the Road and the Radio album?
The label and Kenny decide out of the singles that are going to be released which they want to make videos on. The first two singles have had videos already from this album.
How does Kenny pick his opening acts for his tour? Does he seek them out? And why particularly did he pick Dierks and Sugarland?
Kenny chooses acts that he enjoys listening to their music and ones that he thinks will make a good fit for his tour
Here's a question to Kenny/about Kenny! What is your favorite song to sing at your concerts? and what is the most outrageous thing that someone has done to you/ to meet you at a concert?
My favorite song to sing changes with every tour, this year i'm looking forward to Living in Fast Forward

The famous question that I think everyone wants to know ----- Boxers, Briefs or Commando?
Depends on the situation!!!

Does Kenny ever check out the message boards or pop up in the chat room? Or has he ever posted under an unknown screen name while keeping his identity a secret? I know he's a busy guy and all....but you never know.
Yes, he does read the boards....and sometimes gets a little disappointed in all of the cliques/ganging up/ and negativity that is there....He prefers that you guys not bring that energy to this site...just the positive, happy stuff! He would never chat using a different name.
I was wondering how it is decided which order the songs are released as singles. Does Kenny choose the songs or does the record label? Does fan reaction to the songs (even reactions posted on the message board) influence which songs are released next?
Label, Kenny, friends, fans, and radio help determine singles. When the polls are in, the singles are selected. There are many factors that help determine singles...ballads typically perform better during the winter months, while the up tempo and roll your windows down and blast the radio songs do better during the summer months.
Here are my questions.....when Kenny writes a song does he write the lyrics or the music first? Also, when he has a new song how long does it take him and the guys to practice it before they feel comfortable performing it or putting it on a CD?
It's different each time...sometimes both, sometimes one comes before the other.
I was wondering, what do us fans do in terms of showing our appreciation and love for him and his music that really mean a lot to Kenny, and what do we do that really piss him off. Of course he loves that we attend his shows, but I was wondering if there was something specific like hold up signs or sing, or write letters.
Showing up at the concerts, singing songs back to them, tailgating at the shows, and having a good time----the things that he dislikes are the intrusions of privacy that his success has created for his family...there have been some that have walked up to his 80 year old Grandmother's door. That's alarming to him...with things where they are today...strangers shouldn't knock on other strangers doors. There are times when they leave venues that people have followed them to the hotels and the next city. That can be tiring as you just want to be normal...and can't turn it off so easily when you aren't getting a break
I'm just curious as to what Kenny's favorite style of food is? For instance, if he had to choose to eat out at a restaurant, would it be Italian, Mexican, Seafood, Chinese, etc.?
To stay in shape and maintain the schedule that he keeps, He definately eats to live instead of lives to eat! Therefore, He's somewhat limited when it comes to food. He's found a handful of restaurants that serve things on his diet. So, he frequents them often just because it's easier. And there is a Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Carribbean, and American thrown into that mix. But, on his cheat days...he does check out some of the other Not So Healthy places on occasion!
I have heard that when Kenny has some down time that he likes to read. Who is his favorite writer and what is his favorite book?
Thanks! Kenny does like to read....I know that Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea is his favorite book and Robinson Crusoe is his favorite childhood book....As for writers, he has soooo many different books. Not sure of one specific writer.
If Kenny had more down time, how would he like to spend it? Any hobbies that got pushed to the side because of his career?
He would spend more time with his friends and family...as they are what has probably gotten pushed to the side most because of the career.
I have seen some pictures of Kenny playing diiferent instruments. I was wondering how many instruments does he know how to play, which one is his favorite and which one does he think is the easiest to learn??
Guitar and piano
Is there anything Kenny misses about his old life....before he became who he is today?
Aside from the time away from his friends and family, I think one of the hardest things that he deals with is losing his independence. Not being able to just go to the Mall when you realize you need something, going to the movies, Christmas shopping at Christmas....everything has to be thought out and planned...when are the less busy times, "I have 10 mins to get in and get out...if i get stopped 6 times on the way in...i won't be able to make the appointment on time or whatever"....He has to plan everything now....you sort of lose your independence in a sense---and that's something that you can't fathom until you're standing in those shoes/or flipflops!
Does Kenny have any pets? If not, what kind of pet would he like to have?
No pets
What does kenny do after his shows?
He likes to play Playstation II with the guys.
Does Kenny's band go into the recording studio with him to record the albums or are there other musicians that play for the albums?
Usually, it's professional studio musicians that play on his albums...guys that do that every day. A few of his musicians have sang background vocals and maybe played at some point on his albums...but usually it's studio musicians not his band!
I was just wondering where I could find a copy of the bracelet that Kenny always wears on his left arm....it looks like a hook....I LOVE IT!!!
Kenny wears the Carribbean J Hook bracelet...you can purchase them at www.caravangallery.com
