Yeah,it could be just damage control, but I find it interesting that they evidently are not making excuses for Maines, but are distancing themselves from her. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

They are going to do the crying bit at some press release asking for us to forgive them.

Remember when Freddie Fender went to Canada and did basically the same thing? His career has never been the same since. "Good Ole Boys and Women" DON'T forget!

Maines: "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

>>And that Maines said this in London and not Dallas. Maines is a real profile in courage, ain't she?

Exactly. Say that in front of an audience in Dallas,
Houston, Lubbock (her hometown, where the #1 country station is having a 'Chicks-Free Weekend'), or San
Antonio, and see what happens!

"And those limey eyes they were eying the prize
Some people call manly footwear
And they said, 'You're from down south
And when you open your mouth
You always seem to put your foot there."

--from "London Homesick Blues" by
Jerry Jeff Walker & the Lost Gonzo Band

>> Whoops, I forgot, they're against killing.

But, have you heard their song "Goodbye Earl"? :)

These chicks haven't been truly Country since they went “pop” for the mainstream. Now they're just another obnoxious, Grammy-grovelling group of Hollywood trash

Actually, their latest album had some great bluegrass on it that had my toddler and preschooler dancing to beat the band. So sorry we had to give that one away.

If there's any truth to the suggestion by one FReeper that they can Natalie and get a new lead singer, I'm available. You should just HEAR me in the shower on "Traveling Soldier" and "Cowboy Take Me Away."

Dear Brits,

Just so you know, we're ashamed the Dixie Chicks are from Texas. We wish they'd move to Iraq, which is more in tune with their beliefs.

Signed,

The patriotic citizens of the U.S.A.

I don't buy the Dixie Chicks excuse for bashing America on foreign soil. Too often people hide behind the First Amendment to justify cowardly and irresponsible statements. This is NOT a matter of free speech. The Dixie Chickens are free to sow anti-Americanism abroad at the very moment we need unity as we approach war; but the people are also free to boycott their music and radio stations that give air time to this unpatriotic group. For me, listening to the Dixie Chicks now is like hearing nails on a chalkboard.

Who are the Chicksey Dicks?

Why does a Chicksey Dick cross the road?

That's a great idea and I am gonna encourage all of my like minded buds that can't attend the Atlanta rally to do just that. Me, I'm gonna break mine in pieces and make it into a necklace to wear tomorrow.
