I think I remember they were one of the stories in the last weeks on 60 minutes. I rolled past the channel rolling my eyes...

I used to really like 60 minutes in the 70s but anymore it seems to be a liberal mouthpiece for any nutjob wanting to bash anything I believe in.

Imagine if we had the same access to National TV time? sheesh.

"The Chicks made it off their looks, as their music was totally fabricated anonymous sounds okay in the background work."

Bingo!

[Rastus]

Don't worry about your career, Natalie. You can always be a pole dancer.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

The Dipsies should of been hired to sing the theme song to the D'uh Vinci Code movie. That would have been a perfect winning pairing!

[truemiester]

Thanks for the words.

"Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should "

What are YOU mad about and why don't you just shut up?

[catmanblack.]

A good spanking years ago would have probably cured their problem. But that would have been child abuse. Today a good spanking would probably be called foreplay!!

"I still think they will have decent sales initially..."

Maybe so, or maybe it will appear so, at least. But, it won't be because this ole gal spent a penny on their product, or even listened on t.v. or radio, if I can get to the control quick enough to silence them.

[Jameison]

Love that.
Hehehehehehehehehehe!

"When an artist says that they don't want to be a part of that industry, it made our decision a no-brainer," program director Mark Evans says. "There are too many talented new artists dying to have a song played on country radio, so I'd rather give one of them a shot."

LOL! You're already forgotten, Natalie.

[silent_jonny]

Perfect pic! "I love it when a plan comes together."

[No Blue States]

Country music isnt my thing, but had the country fans let them slide it would have been a sign that the end is near.

The Chicks made it off their looks

You couldn't be more wrong. They were great. Natalie Maines has one of the greatest voices in music today. Please, please don't minimize talent because of politics. But what's happened to them is 100% their own doing. They have no home now. And nobody really cares.

You're right...Tim McGraw is the next up. He wants to run for office as a Democrat. Let's see how that goes.

[badgerlandjim]

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

LOL. I did too.

[Hildy]

You're wrong...You are so wrong. First of all...none of them are great looking...there are hundreds of better looking girls in country music. These girls had talent and they were good and that's what makes what they DID TO THEMSELVES all that much crazier. Because the totally did it to themselves. I wonder what the two sisters really think.

[lonedawg]

Is it just me or is Natalie too"nasal" for anything other than country music.She can't blast it out like Mariah Carrie she doesn't have the pipes. So where is this pop career going.

[Hildy]

You can always be a pole dancer.

That would have to be one STRONG pole.

"Natalie Maines has one of the greatest voices in music today"

Huh?
One of the greatest voices on what planet?
