Singer Natalie Maines had the slogan "Fight War Not Wars; Destroy Power Not People" inscribed along the bottom of her torn T-shirt; and Martie Maguire wore a "Free Natalie" T-shirt, glossy combat boots and military pants.

Cute, girls.

Free Natalie -- while supplies last!

Easy to tell where this $8-an-hour hack author's sympathies lie.

At first, I thought that Maines just wanted attention but now I know she desperately needs it. I'm not going to give it to her. Any future discussion of them will get the following responses from me;

Who?

Who cares?

You would have to pay me to care about what the Dixie Tarts think.

I know what Maines said about President Bush but any discussion of the Dixie Strumpets is just a waste of my time.

I don't intend to even waste another keystroke on this subject ever again.

Just before the Chicks took the stage, the P.A. system blared "Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen, who explicitly supported the Chicks before their U.S. tour began. The crowd ate it up.

Oh, golly, I get it! What profound symbology! Wow, the Chicks are reaaally deep.

"Dixie Chicks bring peace"

just the title deserves a barf alert

[driftless]

The Clucks could have sounded like the most inept musical group in history, but I'll bet this hammerhead would have still praised them. My own observation is that while also being seriously musically stupid, most rock and pop reviewers are strong leftists who will write kind words for horrible acts as long as they toe the party line. Ani Defranco is an example. I've never heard her, but after reading glowing review of her "music" by a number of rock critics, I decided to check out her lyrics on the internet. Her grade-school quality lyrics represent the most self-indulgent, paranoid, radical-feminist ramblings of the far-left that you could possibly find. They are so embarrassingly bad, the worst hack in Nashville is Cole Porter compared to her.

Dixie Chicks may be the bane of mainstream America, but they have won over a crucial and influential group- American journalists. East-coast elites who spoke pejoratively of country music as something "rednecks" occupy themselves are finding themselves feigning an appreciation for the genre, at least enough to profess their admiration for the Dixie Chicks. It's pitiful to watch these "journalists" in action. They have no respect for the truth, no intellectual curiousity to understand the root of people's anger towards DC's remarks, and no willingness to be evenhanded in their reporting. I have never had less respect for journalists...they are lower on the totem pole than lawyers and repo men.

[hmmmmm]

You can't get further left than this waste of good pulp garbage/rag. Years ago it was owned by Capitol Cities/ABC and in recent years it was a Knight-Ridder property, I've no idea of it's current ownership. In it's heyday it claimed Ernest Hemingway as a writer/columnist/whatever; that, in itself, should be enough to discredit anything attributed to this trash.

You've gotta hand it to them, they took a bad situation and turned it to their advantage and are now trying to come off like the beleaguered minority. What a buch of shite. BTW, the slogan "Fight War, Not Wars. Destroy Power, Not People" was a slogan used by the anarchist punk band Crass. Crass were serious anarchists who lived on a commune, put out their own records, etc. See, there's a difference between a band like Crass who walk the walk and pathetic poseurs like the Dixies who just use their "deeply held convictions" as a way to further their careers. It takes no guts to criitcize this country or the (Republican) President in Europe, I'd have more respect for her if she had tried it in Texas. The point is, these are just fashionable politics that mean nothing, and that's what is so annoying. And how exactly does Spirngsteen (another liberal blowhard who turned a blind eye to Clinton's wrongdoing) support Maines? What the f**k does that mean? The whole thing is a sick joke. For these bimbos to actually try and put out serious messgages is ridiculous, they are far too trivial.

Only one reference to size of crowd, an ambiguous one, too:

"a house packed with devotees"

That can be read to say that their organization "packed the house" rather than "drawing a crowd". It doesn't say how many seats were sold or were empty.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The "past two months" (as they called the March 12 incident in London) might have cost the Chicks peace of mind and radio airtime, but it sure didn't kill their sense of humor.

Um, is that the same well-developed "sense of humor" which brought us Maines' self-described "joke" about being ashamed that President Bush was from Texas?

[asformeandformyhouse]

and "Am I The Only One (Who's Ever Felt This Way)," a Maria McKee song, in which Maines

Now they've really crossed the line. To have this scum destroy one of Maria McKee's songs is a greater injustice than anything they've done before. Now I'm really mad.

[American in Israel]

Yeah they brought peace to the stadium, but did they bring fans?

Dixie twits wearing military gear... ugh!
