Pitts(the writer of this sophomoric dribble) is one of the few writers whose last name clearly defines him. This liberal weeny bedwetter is part and parcel of what is wrong with America. He is not only a racist, he is stupid to boot! Hope he loves the dxie twits as they c & b...crash & burn!!
And all that remains are some lefties who will buy a CD or two as some kind of "political statement", but as far as a music career, it's over. I don't know them personally, but a neighbor of mine here in Nashville was part of their organization and she was a self-obsessed bitch, so I figure they can't be much diffferent. It runs downhill, you know.
Yep.. the lights are on but nobody's home.
I really don't see where the risk is here. Sounds like a pure business decision.
They have a scorched earth situation with a large part of their former fan base. So rather than fix that (which is rather unlikely,) they pander to those who were idealistically the opposite of that former section of their fan base.
That's not risky, that's just going after the most likely source of dollar bills. Saying its risky just gains them free press to promote the album and hedges their ego's bet should they fall flat on their face.
When this is the hook you have to use to sell your record you know there is a problem. It is clearly much better to follow the RHCP method and say "this is the best record we have ever done, if you don't like this cd you don't like the Chili Peppers."
From an Air America/Boston messageboard (gotta read once in awhile to laugh at them): "The lead singer of the Dixie Chicks should have been less polite and called Bush what he really is, a Chimp, a liar, and generally a retard. f*** Those s*** kickers at KLB (radio station that won't run their new singles) and that weasel Jon Keller and everyone else who has an ax to grind."--Norm Rosen
To Norm (Norm! They miss you at Cheers): Such nice language. You must be one of those 'tolerant' liberals.
The Dixie Chicks have been reduced to a consolation prize for a political party that cant win elections. DUmmies can hel pthe chimps get a #1 on Billboard, and we will continue to control the White House, House, and Senate. LOL~
So they can depend on Leonard Pitts to buy a few cases for their cause?
No surprise: the Air America/Boston site has a big ad for the Dixie Chicks on its front! (Rotates with other ads, like for a Jimmy Tingle live show)
