http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn//cmt_insider/84994/episode.jhtml
Would You Buy Another Dixie Chicks' CD? The talented trio from Texas is heading back to the spotlight this fall to participate in a series of political concerts. CMT Insider will talk with some industry experts to find out if they think the Chicks will be able make a strong comeback, but we want to know what you think. Would you buy their CDs in the future? Voice your opinion in CMT Insider's poll.
I still have all three CD's (long collecting dust). I plan on taking take them with me when I sight in my gun this fall to see how many "wide open spaces" a 30-06 round can make in em.
Just as an aside, the girl who was kicked out of the band got married and like a month after she married, who husband won the lottery and they became multi-millionaires!!!
OK thank you for the explanation! I am very stupid so I made a sincere expression (with no irony and no intention to make a joke whatsoever) of failure to understand this poll. But you have cleared up the mystery for me! Thanks again! I will never fail to understand or have doubts about the record sales of the Dixie Chicks again thanks to you being there, to do the very important job of defending those sales.
P.S. For country I prefer someone like George Jones myself. Assuming that's "country" (I don't really know). (Because I'm so stupid).
Most country music fans have disowned the Dixie Chicks -- the poor sales for their live album show that. It's only outlets like CMT that still think the Chicks are relevant.
I don't mean to be a musical snob. I guess they are the Nashville image maker's version of country music.
NO. There biggest selling point was a newer form of blue grass whose audience and fans are mostly conservatives, thats there problem, I enjoyed there music but they alienated me and millions of fans by speaking negative about america and our president while overseas, and not in front of an american audience, if there is one thing I know and thats blue grass fans hate cowards.
What? The Dixie Chicks were created as a Blue Grass band and performed at small local venues, they never were meant to be a menudo type band with rotating membership.
For months we have been hearing how wrong they were treated. How they were the victims of a neo-con witch hunt, how they were smeared and how wrong people were for criticising them over it.
Their answer to this criticism is to do the same exact thing that brought them to tears on diane sawyers show, to the President. They want to bash him, make false accusations, smear his name and get him fired.
So while they are out there campaigning against our President and our way of life I hope they realize that people will more than happy to return the favor.
Never have, NEVER will although I might just pick up the new Loretta Lynn album.
I don't know where I got that idea. But I can admit when I am wrong. And I am wrong about that.
Excellent point. However, I still wonder how accurate the reported numbers will be.
BTW, I voted "no" only because there was no "HELL NO" option.
Never bought one, never intend to.
no TRUE fan of country music would give any credence to CMT - which is nothing but a COUNTRY version of MTV in the literal sense. MTV & CMT are both owned by CBS. i may watch mtv & vh1, but i'm not a particular fan of the liberalization of country music by CBS. a number of today's 'COUNTRY' musicians are nothing but "rock stars" with fake twangs, frosted tips & leather pants. the majority of the great performers,writers, and producers are long gone & have been replaced by rock 'n' roll rejects.
i used to hear about the D.C. when they were a struggling western act in Dallas more than 10 years ago. great musicians, tho, funny costumes. i did love their incarnation as the threesome we know of today... until that west texas heifer opened her angus-sized mouth. wish someone had taken a nice brand to her fat ass like they do to the local red angus population around here. hell, it's big enough for 2 on each side, not to mention her cakehole.
as for the 2 sisters - what do you expect, maines has taken them where they never would have gone had they kept to the hokey outfits & bluegrass/western swing, so, of course, they're gonna tag along. furthermore, they're really northeastern yankees - born of liberal ones, i mean. the fiddler was born in york, pa. & the younger in pittsfield, ma. so, like the president, they're transplant texans. i, myself, was born in singapore, but i got here as fast as i damned well could!
signed,
ashamed the dixie chicks are from texas & proud of my connecticut-born, texas-raised commander-in-chief.
Never have, Never will...It is funny though, I heard a snippet of their music a few months ago flipping through channels and liked what I heard. But I remain adamant...no Dixie Chicks in my house/car/or any place else! They asked for it.
I guess I'm ineligible for the poll since I never bought their CDs in the first place.
The CMT Insider poll showed that 67% of those polled said they would not buy the new DC cd, 29% said they would and the other had no opinion.
A successful freep!
