Maybe Imus will slow down now...

"I'd rather have a smaller following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith," Dixie Chick Martie Maguire told Time. We don't want those kinds of fans."

So now you get to choose who your fans are?

And they call conservatives arrogant?

"We don't want those kinds of fans."

Translation: "A lot of the people who buy our music are just morons. I hope they shrivel up and die. Oh! Hey! We'll be in Memphis next week! C'mon out and see us play!"

All they'll have are liberals who buy their music out of solidarity, but who never unwrap the shrink wrap. Oh, and a small minority of country fans who don't care about the Dixie Chick's meddling in politics.

She is a retard, just like the other two dingbats.

If you want your band to be a political movement, you at least have to be intelligent. You're not. You're stone cold stupid.

And if you'd rather not have fans, keep up this shtick. It's kinda funny thinking the Michael Moore crowd is buying your brand of lousy music because "you get it."

I wouldn't do ANY of 'em on a bet.


( I fear they would want to compare members... and being male...)

Hmmm...same facts, same story? An interesting contrast:

Bias? We report, you decide...

Anybody know the bio and history of Natalie Maines? Did I read that her family is big in the music business in Nashville and she had a lot of help "making it" in the biz?

[Sybeck1]

I'd rather listen to someone who looks great and supports our troops instead!

At this stage, it's possible the Dixie Chicks are abandoning their country music base, rather than the other way around. Rubin is best known for his work with funk-rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who had ruled the charts for the previous two weeks, and with deceased Nashville renegade Johnny Cash.

Really kind of hard to pencil Rick Rubin into one genre that he is good at producing. I can't imagine anyone else producing an album for Johnny Cash and Slayer in the same year. Not to mention everyone else he has produced for including several well known rap acts.

[Echo Talon]

these chicks are fugly, especially the fat one.

[polymuser]

We don't want those kinds of fans.

Wish granted.

...and recording the new album in Los Angeles with rock producer Rick Rubin...

If their album really does do well, it is probably because Rick Rubin has the golden touch. The man is an amazing producer.

That or because George Soros bought 500,000 copies :)

I hate to comment on (and thus bump) any thread regarding the Dixie Chicks, because it's obvious that their current business model is based around garnering negative publicity from people like us here at FR, but I just have to comment that those chicks look old and ugly.

My two cents.
