Sadly I think one of the reasons they did this was to gain back some of the mainstream success they thought they may have lost by one misstatement. And what's ironic is that an act like this will hurt their country appeal. At least it has to me. I don't care so much if they make a political statement, but I may put them in the Shania Twain category instead of serious country artist over this stunt

You are right. That's the thing. This whole mess came out of their intrinsic lack of knowledge about their own fan base; and this is one more of those colossal missteps. imo.

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.

The Chicks, Shania and Faith have all crossed over to pop.
