Freeped the Dixie Chicks in Austin, TX 5/21/03

so the Dixie Chicks came to town and we couldn't let them off totally, here in Texas. It was a gloomy almost rainy evening and getting cooler. We got there between 6:15-6:30 for the 7:30 show.

Freepers were Gracy, DrewsDad (and Drew) and the Bat lady.

Gracy can tell you the others there.

The scalpers were holding tickets and offering 2 for 1 ($65.00 each) by the time we left they were $15.00 each.

What is a Dixie Chick?...anything like a CNN??

Who was Gentry? Was she the guest lady that sang?

Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry are two veteran country guys who got together a few years ago to form a duo. I first got hooked on them from a great, but little known, song called Merry Christmas from the Family, an irreverent, very funny, and in the end touching tune about a dysfunctional family at a Christmas party.

They're hard drinking good ol' boys who just have a certain spirit that I like. At the awards last night they sang their current hit My Town.

[Gracey]

I MUST agree with you. Most are probably just too polite. But Natalie Maine is NOT polite, nor is she patriotic. She's an UNAmerican LEFTIST, SLUT. I can't say it much clearer.

[Gracey]

Probably like a CNN, but closer to a Chicken D(emocrat), such as our Texas legislation. Our House left for Oklahoma when so they could not vote. It's close to Chicken fhit.

I just figured out your question. In my post I wasn't talking about seeing the Dixie Chicks live in Austin, as you did. I was talking about watching them on TV through a live feed to the Academy of Country Music Awards.

Montgomery Gentry appeared at the awards show.

Good for you! I'm glad we met at the Texas House of Representatives last Friday, too.

If you don't mind my mentioning it, the Prenatal Protection Act (our version of the Connor Peterson Act) comes before the Texas Senate tomorrow. Please take a look at this thread:

I can't say it much clearer.

LOL - it's crystal clear to me!

The empty seats were the result of ticketholders who were encouraged to stand in the "chicken coop", the area around the stages. I saw the concert at the Mark of the Quad Cities and Natalie was wearing a Peace t-shirt. At one point she asked "How am I doing" ("I"?) The crowd clapped, etc. Then she said "WE think so."

Thanks, Texas Freepers, for standing up for all of us against the Ditzy Chicks...they are plain offensive.

Wish I could have been there with you!!!

Thanks for the ping!

Read all about the Dixie Chicks

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Good job! Thanks for the report and pics. The last time I heard the Dixie Chicks was in an Eddie Bauer store. There was a very annoying screeching sound in the store and it wouldn't stop. It was like when a record gets hung and plays the same thing over and over and over again. (yes, I remember records lol) People were leaving the store complaining. LOL, it was the Dixie Chicks on their sound system!

I didn't watch CMA last night, but I did flip past it long enough to hear LeaAnne Rymes (sp?). WOW.

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys next week!

The Chicks and librals have freedom of speach as long as someone else dies for it.
