Natalie, you are in denial. People only bought your album out of protest, like you suggested. Those same people wont drop more than $10 bucks a cd for you. In other words you are prostituing your art. You are a $10 dollar trick.

Dont go way mad, just go away!

>>Many other performers were denouncing Bush at the same time, but the milder attack by Natalie Maines (``Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas") was felt as the deepest blow because the Dixie Chicks were a country act, and country music is supposed to be conservative.

>>Earlier this month, the conservative National Review struck a humorous blow for unity by naming the top 50 conservative rock songs.

``On first glance rock 'n' roll music isn't very conservative," conceded writer John J. Miller. `` . . . But some rock songs really are conservative and there are more than you might think."

Indeed, some of the songs reflected cherished conservative positions such as the right to bear arms (Aerosmith's ``Janie's Got a Gun") or the importance of military strength (``Rock the Casbah" by The Clash) or small government (The Beatles' ``Taxman"). Others merely reflected conservative attitudes, like Miller's top pick , ``Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who.

“Concert sales are a bit low, but I’d like to think it’s because people didn’t know we were doing a tour because we were so focused on the new album"

YEAH RIGHT.......BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

This should go in Ripley's believe it or not....

The Editor at the Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) had for his column an appeal for people to support the Dixie Chicks' upcoming Memphis concert. I couldn't believe it -- knew he was a liberal (former editor in Washington state), but to actually use his editorial space for it....!

I think some group of Democrats bought their stuff in bulk to hand out with donations to the DNC at fund raisers.

I do not think the general public gave then success with their new album with all the hate they have generated.
