The PEOPLE have spoken......

[InvisibleChurch]

nah, when it comes to $$$ they'll grovel out a 'real' apology

[Lauratealeaf]

Are these Chicks fried?

Yeah, over easy.

Proof positive that the right of free speech also carries responsibilities.

Too bad Maines was too wrapped up in pandering to a foreign audience to remember that.

Please post your comments on her guestbook at nataliemaines.com. I think she needs to hear a bit more from us.

The other 2 chicks are actually talented musicians (one plays banjo, dobro and steel guitar, I think; and the other plays mandolin and fiddle) have fired their lead singer before when they thought it would suit their careers. Do these 2 other chicks not realize that firing Maines right now would likely win the hearts of Americans?

Jeanine Garafalo tells me that dissent is being criminalized in the USA. I think this means that you will go to jail if you refuse to buy the Dixie Chicks' CD.

It's a real bitch when us common folk exercise our 1st amendment right, huh? Too bad, Ditzy Chicks!

You know, if she had kept her big fat mouth SHUT the Chicks would have had the number 1 selling country song for WEEKS! I like the song "Travelin Soldier". It is not an anti-war diatribe or anything, just a little story about a girl who falls in love with a guy who's on his way to Vietnam. It would have touched the hearts of so many who have loved ones serving in the military. Unfortunately, there are lots of folks who won't even give the song a listen, now, and the Chicks have no one to blame, but themselves.

If Dumbass Nat had kept her mouth shut, that would have been a HUGE hit for them...

[CyberAnt]

To me ... this is not even the point. The point is - these people believe their celebrity gives them impunity to say anything. They just found out it doesn't! They don't like it, Oh Well!!!

FWIW I find it amusing yet sad that the station I work at (WSHH 99.7FM Pittsburgh an AC station targeting 35-54 yo women) has ADDED.....YES ADDED the DC "Travelin' Soldier" to the playlist as just about every other station across the country DROPPED it.

When it comes up on my shift I drop it, or if it sneaks on the air while I'm busy doing production I just ignore it and move on.

While the move does make >some< sense in this gawd awful business I can't believe more people haven't called in or emailed to complain about having the song on our playlist.

That's www.wshh.com... and the email is on the page somewhere...I think it's webmaster@wshh.com

A truly beautiful illustration of the intersection of the free market with free speech.

Hope Natalie really appreciates her dual lesson in civics and economics.
