Will Somebody Please Let the Chicken Off His Chain! It seems like forever since we got to see “The Chicken” off his chain. All this time and still no cluckin’, scratchin’, or spurring from the Chicken. Wait a minute. That is what chickens on a chain do, right? Spur when they’re turned loose? Well I do know one thing; he’s one chicken that doesn’t get spurred from his opponents much and I hope it remains that way after they free this rank rooster from the chains that bind. The feathers were flying again in Nashville. He was still cock-of-the-walk.
