[L.N. Smithee]

The DixChix are still one of the wonders of the music biz. They have sold a phenomenal amount of CDs (I believe they are the only act that currently has TWO CDs on Billboard charts that have sold more than TEN MILLION units -- Wide Open Spaces and Fly). A good deal of fans will remain loyal to them no matter what -- even R. Kelly's fans don't care about what he does.

But just because they are selling tickets doesn't mean they have lost their -- dare I say it? -- sheen. They have offended a large portion of their target audience, and, I suspect, have lost them for good.

They still won't be singing for tips anytime soon. But they know a PR disaster when they see one, and that's why they have enlisted Diane Sawyer to help them out. They know from her interviews with Michael Jackson & Lisa Marie Presley and Rosie O'Donnell she's a celebrity keister-kissing softballer.

Every time I hear Diane Sawyer's name, I think of her stupidly posed for naked photos in the Sheldon posture project, while in college.
