Dixie Chicks Headed to Oprah

CMT ^

[Blue Turtle]

The Dixie Chicks will appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Tuesday (Oct. 24) to talk about the new documentary, Shut Up and Sing. The film follows the band in the time between Natalie Maines' infamous comments about President Bush in 2003 through the launch of their new Accidents & Accusations tour.

Shut Up and Sing will premiere in New York on Oct. 26 and will have a limited release on Oct. 27, in time for fall elections. As previously reported, the film shows Maines watching Bush on television and calling him a "dumb f---."

Oprah has a way of attracting the losers in our society.

[mtbopfuyn]

Birds of a feather.

to talk about the new documentary, Shut Up and Sing.

I'm still waiting for the 'shut up' part...

[AmericaUnited]

And I'm still waiting for something that could reasonably be called 'singing'...

An organised group known as the Free Republic set out to bring the band down.

The organisation's power, she says, comes through the internet. The site has thousands of subscribers, all of whom were encouraged to destroy the band's music and boycott the radio stations that played it.

"It's scary how much power they do have," she says. "They can take down someone singlehandedly and I don't think Americans are aware of that.

Oprah has a way of attracting the losers in our society just before election day.

Darn, I'm going to have to miss it. I'll be tied up all day tomorrow taking away Alec Baldwin's freedom of speech.

[Ditter]

Oh gee, too bad I'm going to miss Oprah again for the (how many shows has she done) 2,333,000 time?

(Am I the only person in the world who has NEVER watched a single Oprah show?)

[Ragnar54]

No

[Fawn]

Unfortunatley it didn't work as they are still around. What a bunch of ignorant cows they are....

[Perdogg]

They also will be the interview in the Gala Christmas issue of Playboy, the Cindy Margolis issue.

[Screamname]

I watched it once and couldn`t take it more than a few minutes... How the show works is the camera is on Oafrah about 90% of the time while she looks at herself in the monitor while other people blab about something or other. You tell me how people find this interesting, but I guess there are people out there who get off on watching paint dry.

(Am I the only person in the world who has NEVER watched a single Oprah show?)

Who?

I think you spelled "Opera" wrong.

I did see a couple of those. Aida and Carmen, maybe.

[Malacoda]

I'm STILL iffed that I never got my "Official Free Republic Boycott the Dumb Cluckers" letter that Maines and her rep claim was sent out. Clearly, I'm not on the GOOD ping list, or something.

[Stultis]

(Am I the only person in the world who has NEVER watched a single Oprah show?)

Are you female? If male I'm puzzled that you would even ask. Is there any (real) man who has ever watched a full hour of Oprah? Of course most of us have been compelled to watch a crucial "life changing" segment by some woman in our lives at some point. But a man, watching a hole show? This would be like a Jew voluntarily attending a Nuremberg rally. (Except those women screaming at the very beginning of the show are more fanatical than any Nazis I've ever seen.)

[Ditter]

I am a 66 year old woman! Ditter=baby talk for sister.

[Blue Turtle]

Bottom line, their professional career is drowning and Oprah is the dingy.

[KenmcG414]

The liberal Ms. Oprah in her veiled attempt to influence the election. Just another episode to bash the Bush man.

[Perdogg]

Some people say that her letting Bush on her show in 2000, helped out big time.
