Dixie Chicks Get Grammy Noms For Bush Bashing

The Dixie Chicks cleaned up this morning with Grammy nominations. They received the big three: Best Album, Song and Record for “Taking the Long Way” and the single, “Not Ready to Make Nice.”

They got two more, for performance in the country category, and their producer, Rick Rubin, was also nominated. Not bad, considering the flack they took in the three years leading up to the album’s release

LOL I was gonna post the Jethro Tull/Metallica fiasco but you beat me to it. I haven't taken the Grammys seriously since then.

I have bought several copies of their new CD to give as gifts, but also bought 7 of the very first one to include with the new one. It is, and always will be, my favorite.

Seeing the two threads on the Chicks and the fact that they won the top awards says something about the Grammys.

Awards shows are how liberal Hollywood flexes their muscle. The Dixie Chicks are just the useful idiots of the year.

I'll be the first to say, they will win...No doubt, the fix is in.

That was about as safe of a bet, as predicting the Detroit Lions would not make the playoffs.

The Dixie Chicks admitted that their awards were people using their "free speech"...which means they were given the award as a political statement and not because they were musically deserving of it.

That is fine, but they really should just change the name of the award to the Shammies as it's a sham award. Truth in advertising that way.

I did not mean to be rude. I think the answer to your question is obvious. I buy their music because I like their music. Those for whom I bought their cd's also like their music. If they did not, I would have bought other music for them. And my question was sincere. Why does anyone care about what music I like?

I was think good that day...Oh, wait. The truth will always come out, so I guess my think had nothing to do with the results.

Well I have a memory of you jumping in on DC threads speaking out of your bum of things you know little about....or was it you just making things up? Anyway...I also recall you stating you were never again gonna post on a DC thread after having that same bum handed to you. You went on and on about the DC not having to cancel any concerts in their former home state of Texas, and when it was proven they canceled Houston, you started backpeddleing.

Yes, i remember you well. you even bragged about knowing emily's family or something like that.

It was another Freeper, I wish I could remember his name that said ( and this was several years back)they should have name the awards after the Phonogram instead of the Gramaphone, thus calling them the PHONEYS!

I never bragged about anything. Someone asked me a question. I answered it.
I posted here today because Guenevere asked me a question. I answered her question.
You are rude. And you and I remember differently. No one handed me anything.
