Put some ice on that Natalie.
Well what did they expect? They told everyone they didn't want to be a part of country music. So guess what? Looks like country music fans obliged.
I predict a Dixie Chicks PBS concert special by years' end.
The best part is that they make very little from album sales. The money for them is in touring. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Maybe they should write a country song about it.
"...initial sales have fallen short of expectations in numerous markets, especially in the Midwest and South, forcing some dates to be scrubbed."
Boo Hoo F'n Hoo.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Schadenfreude!
Goodbye Ditzy Chics
What losers. Is anyone surprised? I suffered through a couple of their recent interviews, as much of them as I could stand anyway. They just made me hate them more with their attitude and remarks. Once upon a time, a band could dis its fans and the fans loved it. Now we just get mad...and we remember. They need fans more than the world needs their music. Maybe their label will remind them of that.
It isn't just criticizing President Bush. It's the whole a$$hole attitude they have going.
Dixie doesn't like 'em, eh? What could they rename themselves?
The Frisco Fems? The Nantucket Nymphs? The Jersey Girls?
This will be touted by the left as another sign of the Orwellian fascist censorship by Nazi Bush.
Houston Pinggggggggggggggggggggg
Liberal media ping.
How bout some objectivity - "Chicks Tour Failing" or "Cities Rejecting Dixie Chicks"
Maybe they should play in Seattle, SF, Portland, and some of the other 85% Bush hating cities.
Then why the hell is their crappy, "in you face America" CD in the country music section at Walmart?
And to think sales are doing well in London and Blue States!!!!
Oh Natalie, please never come back home. Lubbock Texas is ashamed to say you were raised here. Even your grandma who still resides here has said she is ashamed of your mouth.
$$$ is thicker than blood in Natalie's book
Its more than red state/blue state... there are plenty of dems in red states.. certainly enough to make a music show profitable.. the problem is the chix decided in an even greater fit of stupidity than bashing Bush on stage was to then follow it up by saying "We are through with country music"....
That just took already gaping wound and turned it into a festering puss filled amputate it now sort of problem.
That act expanded their stupidity from people who didn't politically agree with them, to the virtually their entire fan base in one small swoop.
Can't give 1/2 to 2/3 your fan base the finger and expect to not pay a price.. but then then basically give the finger to 90%-100% of your fan base right after that just was beyond stupid.
Now here they are relying on those same fans of country music that they said they were done with, and then advertising for their tour on those same stations that play country music that they said they wanted nothing else to do with....
They look like hypocrites, and rightly so... Entertainers are entertainers.. you step and fetch for money! You need to shut up, and know your damned role.
Let this be a lesson to anyone coming up, just because you get lots of money and are surrounded by yes men, doesn't mean you are godlike.. you aren't. Shut up and play.
I had their early CD's, and used to listen to them all the time while I walked. They have since gone in the garbage. I won't listen to them ever again. I hope they go bankrupt.
