I remember the Chicks failed miserably in the 2004 Vote for Change (read: Please Elect Kerry) Tour. Even paired with James Taylor, they couldn't sell out 3500-seat venues.
What a dismal failure that Vote for Change tour was.
The Chicks are Hollywood wannabes. They forget who was buying their music. Shows you what can happen when you open the big old pie hole. Nats especially. Hey there is always a price, but people shouldn't gripe when the payments due! Fact of life!
