To the Chicks I say good luck pinning your entire future on the whims of the left, hope you invested well in the past.
You got me. They're supposedly going to be working all year on this new album, and probably won't tour this year, but early next year. Probably end the tour just in time to "help" major Democrats in the 2006 elections. Ha Ha.
i was just thinking that they released a "hits" album rather than new material because the record comany was smartly afraid that it would be a waste of money on studio time if it didn't sell when the other songs are already in the can so to speak... prolly be awhile till any new stuff comes out
And as a former resident of Lubbock I am so proud of the reaction there!
No offense, but what gives you any idea you have the knowledge to speak about politics too?
They have just as much right to say anything as us normal Joe Schmos. I dont agree with her but I dont think we have any right to say they dont know anymore than we do... we might, but there is no scale to rank ourselves to a "star". They are just fortunate enough to have a platform. If I had one, you bet I would say something that's on my mind too...just like Curt Schilling and any other pro-Bush star. Your disagreement with them doesnt make their right to voice their opinion less.
I never went through political science...and ill never run for office...can I post here? Am I allowed to protest any future democrat president?
They might be morons...we might want them to "shut up and sing" but I will never believe for a second that those morons have less a right to make an ass out of themselves just because of their career choices. Im in web development...am I qualified?
I really loved the Dixie Chicks until this ,have not listened to them since.
That whole Beatles thing is the biggest straw man of the year. When Lennon said they were bigger than Jesus, he wasn't bragging about it or trying to diss Christianity. He was making a cultural statement. At the time, they were bigger. He was actually rather astonished about it.
Maines et al, on the other hand, were just plain being typically bigmouth frog leftists. They knew darn well what they were saying, and meant every word exactly as spoken. Bites on the posterior, dunnit girls?
I wouldn't. They're free to say whatever they like and we're free to react however we want to. Why can't the big mouth libs understand such a simple thing like that?
I will forever boycott the DCs
Some things the chicks do not want anyone to know, especially their new LIBERAL fan base.
They were W's "PERSONAL FRIENDS". They sang for his innaguration. They would sit with him in his box seats and eat hot dogs at Rangers games when he was the owner. They used his popularity in Texas to garner fans. He is partly responsible for their once popularity. They had no shame of him until they said they were in front of those who they said were ANTI-AMERICAN. So they pandered to them at his expense, to appease them, to sell more cd's. They are lower than pond scum. I have never questioned her "Right" to say what she did. But I have serious questions about the motivations behind what she did considering they were "Personal Friends". I make such an emphasis on the "personal friends" phrase, because when they were up and coming, they would go sing the National Anthem at Rangers games, they would have the announcer introduce them as "personal friends" of the then owner (George W Bush).
What they did was back stab a friend who afforded them the stage in which they pronounced their shame of that friend from. That is the reason so many in Lubbock or even Texas are unforgiving. They know the TRUTH. The chicks and their management team choreographed the entire free speech martyr routine to camoflauge what really went down. To me, an many others, what they did, is and always will be, unforgivable.
I take my boycott a step further. When their new album drops, I will buy ABC (anyone but chicks) to push them DOWN the charts. Same with airplay, I will request ABC to push them down the charts. I encourage all other to do the same and it works!
Their last album Top Of The World, a live double disc set of their concert has been out nearly 18 months, they have yet to sell a million copies of it. I wish their next album the same fate!
Very interesting.
Thanks.
Their obnoxiously stated opinions were and remain anathema to their core,previously paying audience.
Besides, we all like Toby Keith way more.
They can and did freely commit career suicide.
It happens.
Perhaps they should make a movie with Jane Fonda.
I'm sure that will put them right back on the top of the charts. /EXTREME SARCASM NOTICE//
Dixie chics? And all this time i thought they were the d...skin chicks!
No one denys anyone the right to speach. What seems to be left out of everything is the FACT that she was on FOREIGN SOIL. She was being disloyal to our Country. It seems that it would be understood that you don't go to a foreign country and run your President/Government down.
I heard a song of theirs on the radio the other day and immediately thought YUK and changed the channel. I just can't enjoy their music anymore and I used to own a couple of their CDs (legally purchased and not downloaded, by the way). If other people want to listen to them, that's their business, I'm not going to call the radio station and complain, just gonna change the channel whenever I hear them.
Same here. I could care less if they release a new album, I wont buy it.
Course Carrie Underwood is gonna release a country album, you know from that show for the unwashed masses, American Idol. Yes I admit it, I watch it, I enjoy it, and the first step is admitting it!
