Schadenfreude!

[dead]

They insulted Reba. That'll get you banned from mainstream country radio all by itself.

Anyone hear from Willie Nelson after his brokeback - gay cowboy love song?

Talk about a singer that simply vanished...

How'd that all work out for him?

[Personal Responsibility]

What a shame, having to live with the consequences of their actions.

[Constitution Day]

The first single, "Not Ready to Make Nice," only peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart

Heh.
I guess the radio stations are not ready to make nice, either.

[A Cyrenian]

Reap what you sow. If you're going to bite the hand that feeds you, you better be prepared to get smacked by it.

[L98Fiero]

But I saw where ABC is giving them a "Special".

[TexasCajun]

"Freedom of Speech" meet "Consumer Choice"

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I don't think the Dixie Chicks are owed any respect whatever.

[Glenmerle]

They insulted Reba. That'll get you banned from mainstream country radio all by itself.

Yeah, I read that. Why did they do it? I don't understand what they think she did to them. They trashed Toby Keith in the same breath, but at least that fight has a history to it. Why they trashed Reba, I can't figure out. They're just three nasty, arrogant women.

As an official Texan, I hear by proclaim the Dixie Pricks excommunicated from their Texas hertiage.
They are up for grabs, you can have'em.

[AngryJawa]

But I saw where ABC is giving them a "Special".

With any luck, the ratings for this will be lower than the recently-cancelled "Commander in Chief" POS.

[griswold3]

No way!! Details, please.
BTW, I heard some of the Album on Imus this morning. They suck!! But, I'm sure they'll blame Bush rather than take any responsibility for themselves.
If they want another market, they will have to change their name (eliminate DIXIE) and get rid of the fiddle and banjo.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

I would sure pull my ads from any radio station which played their stuff.

[firewalk]

I don't want to buy your music
I don't want to hear you sing...anywhere
I don't want to hear you period
I don't even want to download your stuff for free

There are thousands of people far more talented than you ever were.
They would give anything just to have their music heard.

[MindBender26]

And what's funny about is that these bimbos have no idea what they are saying. They are only mouthing lines given to them by some NY publicist.

[Glenmerle]

But I saw where ABC is giving them a "Special".

Last night the TV show "Medium" featured a song from their latest CD, and at the end of the show, the CD was shown. It ruined the show for me. What's amazing is how many in the mainstream media and Hollywood are now pimping for the band. They're really trying to rehabilitate their image.

I wish the Dixie Chicks luck in their new genre, Pop music. Country fans have voted them out. I'm predicting a name change for this group...The Yankee Egg-Layers".

[OB1kNOb]

With real performers like Alison Krauss and Rhonda Vincent to listen to, who needs the Ditzy Hicks?

[Corin Stormhands]

They insulted Reba. That'll get you banned from mainstream country radio all by itself.

Reba's hosting the American Country Music Awards tonight. I hope ~somebody~ gets in some good zingers at the Ditzy Chunks.
