  Kenny Chesney recalls having his own place of inspiration for his hit single, “When I See This Bar.” (:26)
“Now I wrote about my personal experience, but I believe that everybody, you know, has that, especially, like, college bars — a lot of people can relate to that. They have a certain bar, like…and I’m no different. Like, there was a bar in Johnson City, Tennessee, that I had my first beer at and I had my last beer in college at, but it was with the same — almost the same — group of people. And when I drive past that place, I see those people, and that’s what this song’s all about.”
