I took all three of their first CD's to our annual gravel pit shoot-out this weekend. You shooters know what those are - when you bring all kinds of fun stuff to shoot at.
I had a nice grouping of three out of the five shots fired in their "Fly" CD. If I can figure out how to post a picture of it, I will. Funny thing is I thought the bullets (9mm) would shatter the CD, but they made nice clean holes.

I bought the CD's when I was once a fan of theirs. They should of kept their mouths shut and just sing, but -noooooo.

Can't wait till they are headlining some third rate Indian Casino in the UP of Michigan....

Those venues are too good for the DCs. Actually I saw George Thoroughgood (sp???) at a casino up north a few years ago - pretty good show.

There are a lot more just like her out there.I happened to be playing a gig in upstate NY onetime,so I decided to hit up the state fair.They had these booths lined up with certain stars in them.The ones I noticed were Trisha yearwood,Patty Lovelace,and Lorrie Morgan.They had handlers almost shoving people through the lines for a pic and autograph.At an enormous amount of money a pop.What I saw that day really gave me a wake up call.They treated their fans worse than I treat my dogs!

Reba went off about handguns maybe 10 years ago. Got a lot of flack about it - hasn't said anything since. I remember a gun dealer offering some trade value for items in his shop if you dropped off or sent in one of her CD's.

Forgive Willile for his politics. His music is so much better than the chicks' there's no comparison.

It is really sad since the public is what made these blow hards what they are..I will never understand these people that are so rude to their fans..Just stay nice to everyone and you will go a long way..It does not take much to be a nice person and I would rather be among the nice people..

I heard that Maines is married to an Arab

Successful actor Adrian Pasdar ~
recently played a lawyer on Desperate Housewives.

Never knew he was Arab until Maines' big mouth took flight.

Gnatalie Maines, lead "spokesperson" for the Ditzy Twits is doing all she can to wreck whatever passes for their careers.

No big loss, IMO.

Reply to post about Maines husband, I have never met an Iranian that liked Americans or our country. There may be some but I have not ran across any.

These venues are too good for the DCs

I sincerely hope you are right. Thursdays are "Canadian Days" across the nearby UP. Darn International Bridge clogged up with us Canucks going there. Canadian money at par. They treat us good.

Oh, what was I going to say? Yeah. Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams III (grandson)plus scores of good old boys and gals have performed in the UP. I saw the Hank Williams III show, at Brimley. I do not want to be a one man band here though- please excuse.

No, really- a great gallery of Indian art for free at the Vegas Kewadin at Sault Ste. Marie,Michigan. A splendid edifice it is. Boys if that is third rate...... I am glad to be a peasant. Thanks for your support.

Willie Nelson, John Anderson, and Randy Travis are three country music folks who I've seen in action, and all three were very hospitable and not just good, but very good and kind to their fans (thought that doesn't reprieve Willie Nelson from playing Doc Holliday in the most gawd-awful version of "Stagecoach" ever made ... Willie should have been shot AND hanged for that one ...).

Willie Nelson, in spite of his terrible politics, was salt-of-the-earth, a honky-tonk player at heart who will always be a honky-tonk player at heart. He was, at the time, at possibly the highest point of his career, and yet he was as genuinely humble and kind (it was no act .. I've been around) and real as could be.

John Anderson and Randy Travis took special time and paid special attention to EACH AND EVERY ONE of the fans, regardless of age or sex, who came to see them. For Randy Travis in particular, who was nearly a super-star in country at the time (late 80s), it was very poignant. I remember seeing him, again and again, lean his head down closer to hear the words of some old lady or old man as, thrilled to their hearts, had the chance to speak with him and have their pics taken. He connected on an individual level with each and every one, and he didn't have to do it. My regard for all three of these musicians is high because of the ways I've seen them treat real people.

I hope they take timmy and faith with them when they go on to bigger and better things.....

hey...maybe they'll all donate their money to the Gates foundation too!!!

the disgust I have for such "entertainers" is such that now I don't listen to much country at all, except the the old' timey stuff.....I am mostly a Dave Ramsey and Clark Howard listerner...

...if you use your imagination, you can dance to them too......

These stupid, ignorant, no talent bitches are finished. Thank God. Their career is over - dead. This is so gratifying. Also, Maines might be one of the ugliest women ever, very glad to see her disappear. Wal-Mart is always hiring, maybe she can resume her career there in the CD section because that's the only way she's going to be selling anything. Bye, bye girls.
