The two fawning authoresses of this believe that because the Tricky Chicks' tour "went off without a hitch", that they're home free. Of course, the fact that nearly all their tickets were sold prior to their foot-in-mouth attack had nothing to do with it.

I don't see where they are fawning. She was just reporting about the tour and she said that the fate of their career remains to be seen and that many stations have not played one Dixie song for the week reported. I don't see where this is biased reporting at all.

In fact, she states the the tour was sold out BEFORE the comments were made. There's enough to be made at in this world. The writing of these two women doesn't make the cut.

I think the fact that a third of country stations don't play their songs at all any more, new or old, is the telling fact of importance, and the authors wouldn't have mentioned that if this was a whitewash. But then, they are no longer country artists according to them, so no big loss for the Chicks, right?

Alison Krauss and James Taylor have a great new duet out called: "How's the world treating you". From the new tribute album "Songs of the Louvin Bros". Makes a handy Christmas gift. :o)

While the tour went off without a hitch and sparked virtually no protests, it remains to be seen what the long-term impact of the incident will be on the group's record sales.

Could these idiots bother to, oh, maybe check the Billboard charts to see how the Chicks' live album is doing? I checked it, and after only four weeks on the chart, the album is down to 44. Sounds like a pretty big long-term impact to me.
