Heart of Dixie (Natalie Maines calls the president a ''dumb f---'')

Andy Griffith and Patricia Neal made a movie about her, about fifty years ago, called A Face in the Crowd.

Being filthy mouthed and hatefilled is better for their careers?

Someone needs to seek help immediately.

They could kick her out and audition for new singers - INXS did that on "Rockstar", and Tommy Lee's doing that on "Rockstar:Supernova".

They are probably too afraid or the would have done that already.

Initially, sisters Emily Robison and Martie Seidel seem downcast over their apparently nose-diving popularity, but Maines assures them, ''I think this is better for our career.'' And when whether to stay quiet or get their backs up becomes an issue, the singer jokes, ''Now that we've f---ed ourselves, I think we have a responsibility to continue to f--- ourselves,'' amid gales of laughter.

Gee, Natalie Maines rates a rocket scientist intellect when compring hers to Robison's & Seidel's. Do those two have sense enough to get out of the rain?

I heard Natalie Maines is a cold one. Could that be true.

The last time I looked their latest album was #1 on the Billboard charts.

There are still some round mouth Democrats in the West Tennessee area that are planning to go to the DC Concert in Nashville in December. I hope the Nashville concert gets canceled.

The Memphis concert was cancelled and the Nashville one was postponed. If they couldn't sell alot more tickets, it will be cancelled, too.

Due to the record company buying up copies, to inflate sales figures. But the doofus believed the hype.

Bingo!

Who is really the dumb fuck Natalie? The POTUS who won his re-election bid with more votes in American History, or your fat ass who has had to cancel 15 American concerts because nobody can stand you anymore!

Artist make almost nothing off the albums; they're expected to make their money off the tour.

And since the DitzyHicks tour is dying on the vine...

Natalie. "I don't want to be played on those [Country radio] stations," she says. "And when I watched people smashing our CDs I just thought, Good. Smash 'em. Please don't listen to me. I had no idea you thought I was one of you, because I'm not."
Wait. She's not done. "And I don't want to go to any [country music] award shows. And if we did win, what would I get up there and say? I have nothing to say to these people." In fact, Natalie, who issued an apology at the height of the dustup, says that today it is the apology, not the original offending comment, that she'd take back if she could. "It was all mine - nobody made me apologize and nobody wrote it for me - but when I look back and read it, I don't stand behind what I said. That will make people extra-mad, because some were like, Well, at least she apologized."...

Maguire told Spiegel magazine: “We don’t feel part of the country scene any longer, it can’t be our home any more.”

She said she was disappointed other country singers didn’t back up the Dixie Chicks in their criticism of George W Bush’s politics on Iraq.

“A few weeks ago, Merle Haggard said a couple of nice words about us, but that was it,” Maguire complained.

“The support we got came from others, like Bruce Springsteen.”

Going home empty-handed from the Country Awards ceremony also made them decide to break with the scene, Maguire said.

“Instead, we won three Grammys against much stronger competition.

“So we now consider ourselves part of the big Rock ‘n’ Roll family.”

"For me to be in country music to begin with was not who I was. I liked Martie and Emily's playing, but I did not grow up liking country music. And I guess I was ignorant to the fact that the stereotypes behind country music were true — and it was disappointing. And so at this stage, I can never... I would be cheating myself and not setting a good example for my children to go back to something that I don't wholeheartedly believe in. So I'm pretty much done. They've shown their true colors. I like lots of country music, but as far as the industry and everything that happened... I couldn't want to be farther away from that. And it's easier when you're financially set, because you can be a little more ballsy, and just do what you want to do. I don't want people to think that me not wanting to be a part of country music is any sort of revenge. It is not. It is totally me being who I am, and not wanting to compromise myself and hate my life." Natalie Maines Entertainment Weekly 2006

“I’d rather have a small 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,” Maguire said. “We don’t want those kinds of fans. They limit what you can do.” Time Magazine 2006

This is what I think:

I'm tired of the Dixie Chicks contradicting themselves.

I'm tired of the Dixie Chicks campaigning against Country Music.

I'm tired of the Dixie Chicks going after other country music artists.

I'm tired of the Dixie Chicks telling their former fans, "accept" that what I said was right...or I will campaign with the help of the media and other anti-war people to make sure that you pay and pay and pay for disagreeing with me.

Free speech is a two way street. No amount of promotion by the media and the anti-war camp will silence those whose opinions they disagree with.

You see, the phrase "Shut Up And Sing," has been a segment of Laura Ingraham's nightly broadcast on WABC radio in New York City for several years. It is now the title of her book.

"Laura Ingraham joined the WABC air staff on September 2nd, 2003, taking over the 8pm slot. She has hosted a nationally syndicated radio show for several years, and is a frequent guest on tv news programs. Her book "Shut Up and Sing...How the Elites in Hollywood, Politics, and the UN are subverting America" is an instant hit."
