1. Those tickets were sold BEFORE Big Mouth Maines graced us with her babblings, and the Vichy Chicks refused to give refunds afterwards.

2. I want to know how those chart ratings are calculated - I smell the scent of cooking books.

3. Let's see how their NEXT album does.

4. Entertainment Weekly put three nude young women on their cover to honor their musical accomplishments. Uh-huh. Got it.

Want some Dramamine to go with that spin?

I'd like to get into their accounting books, and see how much money they've spent doing media puff pieces, after chicken lips did her traitor cackle.

Have they offered to go sing to the troops. I dare them to try and get on a stage in Iraq.

Sure. You ask me, ticket sales aren't the issue - what I wanna know is, how many people actually showed up? If the places they sold out were packed, it would seem to indicate that those people who had tickets have maybe regained their sense of perspective.

2. I want to know how those chart ratings are calculated - I smell the scent of cooking books.

The album charts are calculated the way they've been for quite some time - by a sample of retail sales reports put together by Nielsen Soundscan. There's no cooking of books.

3. Let's see how their NEXT album does.

I'd think that if they stay on their game WRT songwriting and musicianship, they'll continue to do well.
