HIX NIX DIX CHIX: Freep the Dixie Chicks

In case you haven't heard, Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks decided recently to blurt out a cheap applause line during a concert in London: "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

Now, everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Here's mine.

I have suffered through six months of hearing the idiot political ramblings of every dumb#ss with a card from the Screen Actor's Guild. Janeane Garafaolo, Mike Farrell, Sean Pean, Alec Baldwin and every other moron who croons, tapdances, juggles or plays make-believe for a living. This one, however, is the last straw. When this crap spreads to Country music - the one, singular, tiny niche of the entertainment industry in which conservatives might actually find a celebrity or two not openly contemptuous of their politics - it's time to put the economic foot down.

In this regard, I would like to dedicate this thread to teaching the Dixie Chicks two lessons: 1) Do Not Bite The Hand That Feeds You, and 2) Don't Mess With Red Country.

Please post links to local Country radio stations. Let's get the message out to programmers: take the Dixie Chicks out of your playlist rotation, or I am never listening to your station again.

The only Country Music I really truly enjoy is anything by Patsy Cline. And I don't think Patsy got involved with politics.

Why not Take their offensive music if you own it and burn it in front of your local music station. Be sure to do it in a SAFE manner.

Your headine reminds me of the title of John Updike's wonderful story about Ted Williams's last game. He titled the story in headline style:

HUB FANS BID KID ADIEU

perfection...

The dixie chicks ain't real country. This isn't their first stupid remark.
For the "right" opinion, you can't beat Charlie Daniels.

"Hello, my name is Natalie, and I'm a moron."

Hey Nat, use some of that money you have and buy a clue.

While you're at it, buy a salad.....

....and some taste in clothing.

I totally agree with you on Patsy Cline... the best female singer every. The Dixie Chicks are now over lika a flash in a pan.

[Little Bill]

I was there, it was great, my cousin won some tickets, box seats, from the old Boston Record-American. Who replaced him, the Pin Headed Polack, more mouth than batting average.

Hello, GailA. I hope to see you in Millington. Look for a pudgy, gray-haired guy - after all, how many of us can there be? About destroying the dumchix CD, I would prefer to see them offered at a garage sale or on EBAY. Every one sold secondhand PREVENTS the sale of a new CD, and deprives these skanks of royalties. If I had any I would dispose of them, but this would be the best way.

Not a bad idea and donate the proceeds to the Boy Scouts.
