If these girls just put out nice country CD and not used what happened as the means to their comeback then maybe they would have been forgiven...but their first single, NOT READY TO MAKE NICE or whatever paints them as the VICTIMS...it's an incredibly silly song and if they weren't hated enough before, in my estimation they nailed the coffin with that song.

Why can't people like this just take their millions and quietly disappear into the sunset? Who wants to keep hearing from them?

I can't recall ever hearing anyone say in the last couple years, "I sure wish the Dixie Chicks would come out with a new album!"

Ugh, these women just disgust me.

They should have followed Mariah Carey. Carey had a great comeback after a bomb of a movie and album.

The Dixie Chicks build the best disposable Frisbees.

Disappointing airplay for the first two singles from the new album by the Dixie Chicks exposes a deep -- and seemingly growing -- rift between the trio and the country radio market that helped turn the group into superstars.

Time to sing their crap in another country.

You know something, I actually saw that movie, Glitter, several years ago on cable and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Maines also said, "I don't want people to think that me not wanting to be part of country music is any sort of revenge. It is not. It is totally me being who I am, and not wanting to compromise myself and hate my life."

Well, honey, maybe the lousy reception of your new album is country music fans "totally being who they are and not wanting to compromise themselves" by buying into your foolish and self-centered tripe.

I suppose the Dimocrat response to this "injustice" would be to require everyone to listen to "sanctioned" music by "approved" musicians. We can't have people choosing for themselves what to listen to. What if some nut-job wacko leftists get left out???

ROTFL!!! Boy, has this ditz lost touch with reality or what?

Toby Keith continues supporting America and the troops while raking in the big bucks. How are "the chicks" doing?

Natalie Maines sure thinks a lot of herself. The opinion doesn't seem to be widely shared.

Seems like the rift is with their fans not "the country radio market".

The article has a non condemning, clinical detachment.

If this were a conservative band that declared war on its fans and were paying for it, I think the article would have a different tone.

Yeaqh, and taking a slap at Buddy Holly on their new cd ain't helping any. Buddy's brothers are furious, and, so are his fans!

"Where are all my idiotic, mouth-breathing, Bush-ite customers?" the bankrupt restauranteur wondered.

One of the GREAT lines from "Larry The Cable Guy":(paraphrasing a little here, but real close):

Larry: "...and The Dixie Chicks....what's that little fat one's name....Natalie??? She needs to shut her mouth, and go back to her job as a sales clerk at Lane Bryant..."

Who cares what these three airheads say or do?

They're not the Dixie Chicks; they're the Dixie Sh*ts to me.

So I'm pretty much done. They've shown their true colors.

Uh, Natalie, you've got it a little backwards. Country is done with you and you've shown your true colors. Good old plain American's don't abide your spoiled brat in-your-face attitude.
