I'm listening to our local conservative talk radio host on WTIC 1080... Jim Vicevich. He just did his weekly segment with Hollywood-based Russ Leatherman, creator of Moviefone.com. Leatherman is recommending that audiences see "Shut Up and Sing"... said it was an excellent documentary. Not one word about FreeRepublic.com was mentioned... just how the country turned against the Dixie Chicks after their anti-Bush statement, and now all is forgiven - the country is going back to the Dixie Chicks. He passed it off as Natalie Maines saying something stupid and had to pay the price, but now all is well. "Hey, we've all said stupid stuff... haha."
Leatherman concluded by saying "You know, I've never been a fan of the Dixie Chicks before, but now I'm a HUGE fan!"
After the 11:30am news break, back to Vicevich's show... and he's now playing Dixie Chicks music as "bumper music". He's praising the Dixie Chicks' music as if he's rediscovered some hidden gem he didn't know about before... *barf* :-(
Really? Oh man...Vicevich's gone mad!!
The truth is these dopes lost half their bookings; their album broke big but sales tanked fast; and they still come off in film clips as smart-ass prima-donnas who mistake sarcasm for wit and spite for intelligence.
They're finished.
