The other night, at their opening for their tour in London, they indicated on stage that they were sad to know/hear that our President was from Texas. Again, it is sad to see and hear yet another "celebrity" announcing that they are ashamed of their President of their Unites States. I just wish we would get over and get back so that these "celebrities" would quit using all of these Grammy, Emmy, own concert "stages" to provide their political saitre.

I hear ya bro!

Oh, darn, and I thought "Travelin' Soldier" was such a beautiful song.

Well, at least I can say that I have never actually paid money for any of their music.

Flash forward 30 years and picture the scene at the Greater Nashville Rehab Center and Retirement Home. Overheard in the day room was "... and what did you do to screw up your career?" "Well, there was this gig in England ..."

This isn't going to sit well with a good portion of the country crowd, me included. Breaking off to FReep 92.3 now.

I dont think the 3rd photo is photoshopped. Kate has lost weight recently..

Anti-war sentiments expected on Grammy night by winners, performers

NEW YORK (CP) - With many musicians and Hollywood stars publicly opposing the U.S. buildup to war in Iraq, it's likely some will use the Grammy stage to promote peace through impromptu song lyrics, acceptance speeches or antiwar hand gestures.

Dixie Chicks' lead singer Natalie Maines said she's been thinking about how to address the international conflict during the live telecast (Global, 8 p.m. ET). "You don't want to turn something like that (Grammys) into a complete political rally, but it is a time for people to speak their mind even if it's just to send a hand gesture or something."

Maines said the Dixie Chicks, up for four awards, will probably give the crowd the peace sign when they take the stage to perform Landslide.

"Just something small. We don't want to get preachy on a show like that," she said.

That's it! The Dixie Chicks can kiss my rearend and I sure as heck won't pay them any mind anymore. Sheeeesh!!

Radio stations these days are very very pathetic. Rarely will you find a station billing itself as country/western that isn't stuck playing today's pop country.

Remember, WSM streams live and is Sirius Channel 132!

Why weren't they ashamed of Clinton? They cheered while the rest of us cringed.

[Justa]

Back in Oklahoma I was calling them the Dixie Tricks for a few years now. Seems justified now.

[KaiserofKrunch]

Too right. These idiots obviously don't remember the "Battle of the Bands" from the Vietnam era.

....."Just so you know," says singer Natalie Maines, "we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." It gets the audience cheering - at a time when country stars are rushing to release pro-war anthems, this is practically punk rock.

______________________________________ I hope country music fans will get on the phone to their stations and demand that anti-American artists NOT be played on their stations. ... To criticize the POTUS on foreign soil at time of war is beyond the pale.

[pray4liberty]

Yup,time to break those CD's!

Sell them on eBay and get yer money back. :)

[ValerieUSA]

It's not that difficult. Photoshopped or not?
