Well, they tried last year on the back of the Eagles, and an Eagle rep admitted they were filling the venues until the Dixie Chicks came onboard. Now, they are trying to come out by doing a benefit. Personally, I feel Maines' disingenuous pandering and the bitch slap the Dixie Chicks gave the Free Republic and C&W deserves remembrance and response. Her response to the criticism of her pandering comment was to write a song saying she wasn't Ready to Make Nice, and rode to Platinum on the album with liberal latecomers who didn't understand why she was dismissed by millions. Time to do what she disingenuously accused the Free Republic of after her sales slumped; that is, to let her know in as many ways as possible that we aren't ready either. Also, to tell those entertainers (and their sponsors) who are inviting her back that they will lose fans over their support of her.

There is no way in Hades I would go to, or support that concert with the twits on the marquee!

There was a time I loved their music... I literally threw their cd’s into the fireplace after they pulled their stunt!

I went to one of his concerts about a year ago. He's still great and I have been going to his concerts for over years.

There was a time I loved their music.

The first couple of Chicks albums (pre-Maines, with a bluegrass sound rather than commercial C&W) are still in my rotation.

You seem preoccupied with the Ditsy sluts.

As you defend them in this link.
They are washed up second rate wannabe musicians who are useful only as bed padding at Occupy Wallstreet, and they'd be substandard hippy bed padding at that.

Hmm, only two posts. One in 2009 and then today.
You wouldn't happen to be trolling, would you?

I though Lyle Lovett was dead

If I really want to date myself, I not only own his first album on LP (released in March 1988), but know him originally from the cover of Nanci Griffith's 1986 Last of the True Believers album on Philo Records.

Lyle's one of the bystanders on the street in front of the Woolworth's store (and a close friend of Nanci).

He used to play at the Kerrville Folk Festival starting around 1986. He and musician Robert Earl Keen, Jr. shared a house when they attended Texas A&M. They co-wrote This Old Porch, a song that's quintessentially Texan.

I'm trying to remember the names of some of the other Austin-area musicians standing on the sidewalk on the Believers album cover. Seems there was a group called Hudson & Frankie who used to hang around with Nanci during her days playing at the Cactus Cafe, and then opened for her when she was still playing small places but merited opening acts.

Didn’t defend the Dixie Twits in any way. Glad you think anyone who posts less than you is a troll. A good measure for you and yours.

You are a troll.
You signed up to hunt down an ‘06 thread to comment about the dippy twits.

The replies to your thread resurrecting post should have told you something.

And now, you resurrect the thread AGAIN.
That is trolling.
And you seem awfully stuck on the dippy twist.
