The Dixie Chicks, Emily Robison, left, Natalie Maines, center, and Martie Maguire, say they are posing nude to make a point.

NEW YORK - The Dixie Chicks appear nude on the cover of a weekly showbiz magazine in a defiant answer to a backlash over their opposition to the war in Iraq.

Look at the "I" and the vertical part of the "E" next to it.

I enjoyed reading Natalie's guestbook...

When you want people to take you seriously you always should take your clothes off.

'GROAN!!!!!!'

It all relates to Freedom of Speech aka open mouth insert foot, aka Bull sh_t talks and money walks.

I feel that the fans have the freedom to purchase Cd's or to stomp on CD's

That their fans or x-fans, have the freedom to express themselves verbally calling in on local radio, and letting the listening audience know they are embarrased that the Dixie Chicks are U.S. Citizens.

I would suggest if you want to make millions singing, Sing and keep your political opinions to yourself, I have the luxury of stating my political opinion, it does not cost me a dime.

Just in case they had ANY country fans left....they wanted to make sure they aliented ALL of them. They think the pop world will have them??? PShawwww....the pop world wants 18 year olds...not mothers who play the fiddle. Sorry.

I agree with you. The statement was incredibly stupid, but there is such a thing as a sense of proportion. About the only reason I'm enjoying watching their careers crash is because the big conglomerates are pulling out all the stops in trying to do damage control. I actually kind of feel sorry for the girls. Yeah they're stupid, but I don't see them on the same level as Michael Moore.

Also, my vote on the cover is that the Dixie Chicks still haven't posed nude. I think those are Dixie Chick heads on stunt t!ts. Just my opinion.

At this point I'm beginning to think that thier manager has another band in the wings that he thinks is going to be bigger.

Could be

Personally I find this cover insulting, they didn't just say they were ashamed of Bush, they were also ashamed of us fans that supported the President and our troops and this cover is only mocking our feelings on the matter.

ALSO .. Maines really needs to get a boob job done

[biblewonk]

I notice the "bottom" pixel in the I and the "bottom" pixel in the 2nd E are the exact same, bottom.

Look at where I write, "Yes, I know it's been retouched."

[finnman69]

surely you could do something to jazz up the captions on these bodies.

[biblewonk]

You can even see where part of the foot is on the I that belongs with the E.

[martin_fierro]

But you missed the part where I wrote, "Yes, I know it's been retouched."

[catonsville]

You wonder who the hell is advising them?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Can you bump the poll here?

Natalie wished she were that skinny...talk about airbrushing!

Does anyone know someone who has tix to their concert? They going? They gonna boo? Did they buy them AFTER the boycott?

That ain't chunky chicks body.

It's not even close to her body. They should've picked a double that was at least similar to her build, instead of going with a woman with little to no fat.

[biblewonk]

Yes I missed it. Rats, I thought I was asstute. {snicker}
