Heard the DJ on the local country music station here in Atlanta discussing the comments made by the Dixie Chicks during their concert Saturday night in London. They 'reportedly' made the comment that they're "ashamed that Bush is from Texas" among other things.

Did a little digging and found the referenced thread on the Hollywood Halfwits page. Since I couldn't find any sign of it here on FR, I thought I'd see if anyone else had heard/knew more about it?

Speaking only for myself, I'm ashamed the Dixie Chicks are from America.

[YOMO]

But they looked SOOOOOOOOOO good.

So sad . . They were one of my favorite country groups. I can never spend a red cent on their cd's now!

[MarcoPolo]

Now I have even MORE reason to dislike the Dixie Hicks. I was already hacked about songs like "Goodbye Earl" and the totally irreverent "Sin-Wagon", and now I'm totally pushed away by the Hicks' leftist views. It kinda stinks because I was actually going to go see them in concert soon---not because I liked them---but because I really love Michelle Branch's music. She was going to open for them.

[I'm ALL Right!]

This is disappointing. I like their music. I wont buy it now.

Every time someone in the entertainment industry bashes our country or our president while on foreign soil, they should not come back. They simply should stay wherever they happen to be and not come back. But of course, they come back because the hypocrites know they can't achieve fame and fortune anywhere else except in the USA.

The best thing that could happen to them is that boycotts of their products become so widespread in the US that their only income comes from overseas. Maybe then, they'll all move away to where they're appreciated.

These days, there's not much country worth listening to. It's mostly pop music with a very slight country feel. These days I spend a lot of time listening to old stuff by The Band - now there's music with a country feel, to hell with the Dixie Chicks. I have a video where drummer Levon Helm says, "Back then, acid rock was the fad, and everyone was sayin' stuff like 'hate your parents' and 'don't trust anyone over 30' and a lot of other stuff that didn't make much sense. So we just steered clear of all that."

[KMG365]

the headline could be reworded to say, "Foreigns slam dixie chicks soiled bush"

[Timesink]

Go to hell, you three porky whores!

[dware]

Time to call your local country radio station & let them know you will no longer be listening to them as long as the Didtzes are played. Could also get others to do the same...

Any nominations for the Dixie Chicks for "HERO's - Hollywood-Hero Hall of Shame for this week?

or how about Jessica Lange after her display at the United Nations and the Dave Letterman show?

Hmm...I was never a fan of country music, but the Dixie Chicks made country music tolerable. I've only heard like, two of their songs and I couldn't even name them. It's too bad they had to incorporate politics with their music. I have no respect for them, at least the vocal, after reading this.

[Tailback]

Damn, I liked them too. No more buying their CD's.

A fellow Texan here that will not be part of any future Dixie Chicks music.
What would they say if a guy lived next door to them that had killed family members, and has a house full of guns, and was a known nut? Of course they would not like it.

The Official Dixie Whores Message Board.

Go give them a piece of your mind! If you own any of their overprocessed CDs (without which they probably sound like Linda McCartney did), go put them up on eBay for 1¢.

[fnord]

can you prove it? back up the chat board with quotes or video.

[The KG9 Kid]

I didn't want to say it while they were so beloved around here, but I've always thought that the Dixie Chicks looked like Folsom Street hookers from San Francisco.

Not that I dislike them for what they said -- I just can't stand that awful warbling homebucky twangin' called Country.

[StayoutdaBushesWay]

Too bad! I won't be buying another Dixie Chick cd. I really like their sound too.

[laz17]

Perhaps we should call them the Blixie Chicks from now on.

THE BLIXIE CHICKS

[navyvetran]

just heard this news on the chicks if this goes on we'll have to sing to each other as entertainers are rapidly removing their relevance in our lives too bad i really enjoyed their harmony ironic they are so off key

[GilesB]

I USED to like them....
