Since she was never on my play list there even this would not get her there. But I do not think it is going to happen. I think the best career move Miss Maines could make right now is to learn how to flip burgers and say "Would you like fires with that?"

[Porterville]

I've been kicked in the ribs, kicked in the head, called and SOB....and I've never been a millionare and never talked bad about America overseas (though I've been many times)....I hope some rodeo chick beats this little pig up, that would make me happy.

[Lady Eileen]

I'm SOOOO looking foreward to the numerous HEADLINES about their reception at various venues when they go on tour. It won't take too many unhappy fans to make a big STINK.

I recommend that Freepers who go to the Chix concerts film the "unhappy fans making a big stink" as evidence of the fact of the stink. Remember what happened at the CMT awards when the Dixie Chicks were booed live but appeared to be cheered when CMT replayed the scene? I believe the same thing happened when Hillary was booed in NYC after 9/11: liberal media elite sympathizers dubbed in the cheering.

[Exigence]

She CLEARLY said that was the opinion of those who didn't listen to the music - the people she wanted to convert to fans

No, Joe. She said no such thing, clearly or otherwise. What's more, she didn't contradict the stereotype. All she said was give "it" (as in not people but a thing) a chance. The only case that can be made on the basis of that statement was that she was defending the music.

It's abundantly clear from all her quoted comments that she's not in tune with her fan-base in any sort of respectful way. You know, kind of like your posts.

(Maines said), "we support the troops. We support the troops l00 percent"....

Just curious.......but which troops is this ninny supporting? We know it's not US soldiers.

[cyncooper]

heheheheh
ssssssshhhhhhhh, we're not supposed to "get it";)

On topic, sooooooo what was the big question that the Dixie Chick needed answered??????????

I'm sorry, but the more I read about them the more they offend me with their nonsense.

[rs79bm]

Just goes to show that sticking it to their pocket books actually works.

[cyncooper]

He isn't fooling anybody, he's been noticed ever since he snuck back on.

I don't think certain people are in a postion to be name-calling.

[FrogFish]

I know that about rednecks...you see, my sister married my mother's brother.

:)

[Charlie OK]

you never know. They were old enough to make their own decisions. Perhaps they had boyfriends or older siblings in the military. Maybe they like President Bush...

I think it's funny when children who have no idea what they are talking about (global warming, economics, etc) obviously parrot what they have been told. I think this is different. You may dissagree.

[petitfour]

We saw the replay of the Flameworthy awards and noticed the cheers replacing the boos. We then turned off CMT and cancelled the cable the next day. We're fed up with the garbage and lies spread by the media each day. No more money from this house.

[johnb838]

Nope. She needs the rednecks to be successful in her chosen style of music and the rednecks don't forget things like this.

Somebody like Babs or Moore make their money primarily from liberals anyway -- or at least from both. They are not quite so literally biting the hand that feeds them.

[Exigence]

My antennae first went up with the "Earl" song and video...straight out of "women's studies" and only slighty funny...

Then there was all the crossover talk and more BS from Natalie's gator about "changing the face" of country music ..with CMT's help.....didn't much care for that either.

Then last fall, once again Nat's gator flops open to disparage Toby Keith's wonderful patriotic song as "rednecky" etc..that Bruce Springsteen's smarmy number was better for post 9-11..that steamed me but she actually got thru that unscathed.

The the big shoe dropped in London...nuff said on that already.

Excellent point. This was just the proverbial "last straw." Every time she spoke out and got away with it, she got bolder.

These "chicks" aren't interested in country music. They want to change it to be something else altogether. It's an internal attack on the values of the "rednecks" and "conservatives."

[RummyChick]

That dixie chicks w/ baghdad bob video needs to get world wide distribution...LOLOL

[anton]

She's scared to death that the first concert in May, in South Carolina for God's sake, some Freeper is gonna stand up during her song and yell: "Go to Hell you Fuc!ing anti-American traitor!"

I guaranty she is scared to death of it. She's been performing to fawning crowds of adoring fans since she was 7 years old, and no one has ever booed her in person. Its her worst nightmare.

[sport]

Who realy cares what she says now.

She spoke from her heart the first time.

She is entitled to speak her opinion.

I am entitled to spend my money how I please [at least until the democrats return to power]Meaning that if I don't want to spend my money buying her cd's and concert tickets, I can at least for now. [see parenthis]

[CyberCowboy777]

Clarify please

nope

I made more than one valid point and have shored up my opinion on the matter. You have not acknowledge these while any one is enough to settle this debate. This shows that you have a closed mind on the matter.
