The Dixie Chunks' ship continues to take on water while the topside bellboys insist there's no problem.

Maybe Lamont can get them booked for his victory party in November?

Al Gore should place them under house arrest - for Global Warming due to their output of hot air, and might I add, flatulence.

[RedRover]

The South should rise up and demand they change their name.

"The Dixie Chunks' ship continues to take on water"

Dixie Chunks...pretty good.

They're no longer Dixie Chicks, take a look, they are aging Hens.

[P-40]

still feeling a backlash for criticizing President George W. Bush

That is, and always has been, the least of their troubles. Their current predicament comes more from insulting their fans more than anything else.

I suspect they were just another fad who's time has passed... kind of like the Starland Vocal Band.

Hix Nix Dix Chix!

And Gary Bongiovanni, editor of concert industry magazine Pollstar, said it is not uncommon for a band to adjust its tour schedule as it goes on. "They're not necessarily going to every place they originally intended to go, but they've added other cities," he said. "They're going where they think their fans are."

That's some manager they have. I wonder if he's related Dick Rowe, the man for Decca, who turned down the opportunity to manage The Beatles?

[sarasmom]

We did.

[George Smiley]

Stix Nix Dix Chix.

[George Smiley]

32 seconds apart.

Great minds recalled the old Variety headline.

[Mike Fieschko]

The South should rise up and demand they change their name.

I suggest French Hens.

Country-pop trio the Dixie Chicks...

"Trash-pop trio learn life lesson, 'your public likes your singing, not your sh!t talking about our President!"'

Stick to what you get paid for, then STFU!

Hey, Chickies, I'm betting you would like to have a 'do-over ' on this , eh?

Too bad the rest of America has an adult attitude, eh?

Now go - hurry - Fat Head Mikey Moore needs some sl*ts for his next documentary. Off you go, shoo.....

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

No joke. They committed career suicide when Natalie called her own fans "a bunch of dumb rednecks that don't get it."

[pepperdog]

Maybe we should try to think of a new name for their group. Something that would appeal to their new audience, you know the sophisticated hip ones that really appreciate them. Maybe something with Yankee in the title. I don't mean to start a North vs South thread with this suggestion it's just that most of their fans live North of the Mason....whatever you call that line. How about the Yankee Bimbos?

[TWohlford]

Their music wasn't "banned" by country stations. Rather, listeners were offended by their latest stuff. My wife, not a political person, certain felt like the DixCix were rubbing our faces in their politics.

Radio stations simply don't play what causes people to puke when they hear it.

[KellyAdmirer]

They are adding dates in Canada, that's terrific. Maybe they can add some in even more liberal places, like Communist China, Vietnam and Cuba. They could sell a lot of tickets there, and the audience would LOVE their between-song patter ("Don't you all just hate America too, like us?").

[Rastus]

Maybe Lamont can get them booked for his victory party in November?
