Morning all, thought this would be a bright spot in your morning considering all the chat about 8/22 and that hygenically challanged maniac in Iran.

may they crash and burn ...traitorous wenches

BTW, when you are a supposed major act on a major tour, the failure to sell out consistently in these arenas is a disastrous for the band. This is because so much money is spent up front and there is so much overhead cost that the first 60%-70% of the gross goes right to expenses before the band even sees a penny.

The worst part for them is the libs who bought their new record probably won't be willing to do so next time. They're in a hole they'll never be able to get out of.

[bmwcyle]

May they fade into silent history.

[Izzy Dunne]

If it wasn't for these "look-how-bad-they're-doing" articles, they wouldn't have any publicity at all...

What a lovely way to start the day! Thank you so much for this cheery news.

"...that hygenically challanged maniac in Iran."

Careful...you're talking about Mike Wallace's new heart throb.

How absolutely STUPID do you have to be to alienate HALF
your audience with some hatefilled remark, and then continually
give them the middle finger salute to not only the ones you alienate
but potential future fans?

I get so sick of the liberal media spin on these gals, that they're being "censored" or "punished for their views." I've worked in radio for decades, and I can assure you that every radio station has a big box of promo records for the staff to take if they want, all sent by hopeful bands begging for a little airtime, and 99% of them never get it. And that's not censorship, it's show business.

The Ditzy Chicks didn't just atack the president on foreign soil as American troops were going into harm's way (we used to call that "treason"), they started acting like whiny, arrogant victims, blaming everyone else for not supporting them. Then they actually turned on their fans, saying they didn't want a bunch of dumb, intolerant hicks like that listening to them. Well, mission accomplished, idiots. You drove away your old audience, and the only reason you sold so many copies of the last album was that Bush haters ran out and got one in the delusional belief that Bush cared. That won't happen a second time.

And memo to the MSM: no matter what your politics, you can't spit on your own fans and expect to remain successful. That holds for everyone (audiences even got sick of Hank Williams and George Jones getting drunk and not showing up at concerts). Again, the Dixie Chicks are not "victims." They're "morons," on the way to being "has-beens." Get your terminology straight.

I'd say the over/under is about two years for their ultimate arrival on the celebrity z-list. Reality show appearances, infomercials, nude photos in Playboy.

Actually, I don't think they will even rate appearances there . . .

[BallyBill]

They really need a name change. I may be a Yankee, but I feel a southern mans pain at the use of Dixie by these turncoats.

[jaime1959]

I feel so sorry for them.

NOT!

With apologies to Spinal Tap, this is the Dixie Chicks future

"Their appeal is becoming more selective," says the band's manager,explaining why the band has been downgraded to performing in increasingly smaller venues, and is forced to endure the cancellation of several shows -- thus proving he suffers from the same degree of denial afflicting the band. And when the group plays the last show of their U.S. tour at a theme park, billed under a puppet show, we realize that the band has sunk just about as low as they can go.

The puppet show is coming, very very soon

The article mentions that she did make another lame joke about the President. Couple that with their attack on Reba McIntyre and other country singers who stood up proud and tall for America and our troops after the Chicks little overseas spew and you can bet that the country music audience isn't putting up with their tantrums anymore.

I'm convinced that little weasle Johnny Depp was told to "shut the hell up!" by his handlers and the Disney mega-marketers. He started denying the overseas anti-Bush comments that he made and that story sort of just melted away.

From the letters to the editor in the Houston Chronicle this morning:
"Why not be civil?"
For the life of me I cannot understand why, when people exercise their constitutional right to free speech, they're dragged through hell and back as a consequence. If there are consequences to exercising any of our rights as citizens, then we have not rights at all."
"I say, three cheers to the Dixie Chicks for speaking their minds."
"Those people elected to office in this country must earn respect. Even the president. So far, I've been disappointed and I have every right to speak my mind. What I do not deserve is the flogging that happens when someone disagrees with me. What has happened to mutual respect for one another?" Sarah Smith, Houston
What a loon! And a confused one at that!

send the 'dittsy chicks' to the toilet, maybe they can fill several of those up.
