Dixie Chicks Begin Tour in S.C. Concert: EVERYBODY LOVES FRENCHY!

These bimbos are the left's new heroes and I fully expect their music to change accordingly. I have an uneasy feeling that many concertgoers will admire Natalie Maines for making them "politically aware " and, rather than watching sitcoms on election day 2004, will turn out to cast anti-Bush votes.

Wait, I hear music..... its a fiddle...... balloons are everywhere.....Bill and Hillary are dancing like Jed and Granny at the Democrats National Convention

On the radio today, a girl was being interviewed about the Chicks concert and she said she had driven 16 hours from Mass. to be at the concert. The attendees apparently are not just from SC.

How about the manure the left keeps spewing about a sold out show? They act like the tour sold out after Maines opened her trap. The tour sold out before she said it. I would still like to see what the attendance really was. People were stuck with the tickets since there were no refunds.

Sales of their next tour will tell the story

I imagine that some SC's cancelled or sold their tickets after Maines opened her mouth and then the leftists bought them just to show support for her.
For some reason those people do so much better in supporting each other publicly than conservatives.

"Do the people who went to the concert just not care, agree, or didn't know about the controversy?"

My theory is that they are either apathetic, concur, or are just ignorant. :)

Sad but true.

Thanks for the update!

ps---Joan is also an abortion activist and a director of Planned Parenthood.

I guess the Dixie Chicks' choice of opening act show how much they think of their fans.
Thanks for that info.

While attempting to analyze people's actions regarding the Ditzie Chicks, one has to refer back to Jane Fonda's actions during Viet Nam. In spite of how disgusting that was to see her up on that enemy anti-aircraft gun and cavorting with our enemy, citizens of the U.S. still went to her movies and bought her exercise videos. She should have been hung for treason! Go figure?

Re Joan Osborne's music and politics: DISGUSTING.

Maybe the entire audience drove down from Massachusetts.

Maybe the entire audience drove down from Massachusetts.

.....nope.....

.....but the way this place has grown over the last 5 years.....

.....I'd bet that at least 65% of the folks at the concert.....

....."wern't from around here".....
.....(not born in Greenville, SC).....

.....lotsa transplanted yankees down here ya know!.....

[SierraWasp]

Yep, same is happening here only the southeren californian conservatives are moving north in droves and bringing with them the liberal Rodney King attitude - "Can't we all just get along?"

Must be that desire to become "compassionate conservatives".

[Some hope remaining.]

If God had a face, what would it look like and would you wanna see If seeing meant that you would have to believe in things like Heaven and Jesus and the Saints and all the Prophets and...

I think this pretty much sums up a lot of the world today. They don't want to see/know because then they'd have to believe and live accordingly.

"compassionate conservatives"

.....hey, didn't they know.....

.....conservative = compassion.....

.....at least that's what they taught me.....

.....in Sunday School.....

I don't really care what happened. I know I'll never buy another one of their CDs or listen to them or go to one of their concerts. They have slapped me in the face with their agenda when they dissed President Bush. They were ashamed he was a Texan. I'm ashamed they are Americans.

[Joe_October]

I won't buy any either and I don't read anything into last night's concert. 15,000 people for a Dixie Chicks concert is no big deal. The kids are idiots and they will go just to see what the big deal is. I thought it was a 50,000 seat thing. That would be a big deal.

Sad thing is that these young women are talented performers but unfortunately, they are idiot liberals and frauds.

[padfoot_lover]

This bears repeating.....

The true measure of the backlash will be in CD sales and FUTURE sales of live performance tickets.

The only answer to this is that the world must be upside down!
