Trouble's coming. Yup, the mods will be here any time now.

I think the album they won for never broke into the top 30 on the charts.

"Well, all right. That's refreshing in an age of increasing vulgarity. It also shows a lot more grace and class than Natalie Maines' clueless and rude invoking of the Simpson's "heh-heh" in her little country Grammy acceptance speech. "
Wasn't the Simpson's famous laugh, "HA-HA!" Seems the "heh-heh" belongs to Beavis and Butthead.

In backstage press questioning, Underwood didn't wilt as she refused to be drawn into a Dixie Chicks controversy about who was giving the finger to whom. I couldn't make this up, but this is what she said when asked about the Chicks "giving the finger" to the country music establishment: "Next question, please. I don't like talking about anyone giving the finger." A LMAO ping! Go Carrie!

Let's hope Carrie doesn't get brainwashed by the people in the music industry! How soon before some producer or entertainment mogul gets a hold of her and says, "we need you to make a little controversy...it'll help your career. How about a little protest statement against George Bush?"
When that time comes, we'll see how she handles it.

Shouldn't the left consider the word "Dixie" to be racist and homophobic?

Why is it, that most of the Democrats in Congress remind me of turds that hang up in the toilet while the rest of the bowl contents swirl and goes down the drain?
Is there NO way to be rid of the bastards?
Are we doomed to have them with us, ALWAYS?

hard to believe just a few short years ago I was a big Dixie Chicks fan owning all three of their first 3 CD's. I even took the wife to their FLY concert which was just a few months before they opened their pie holes.
Those 3 CD's became targets at our annual gravel pit shoot-out last summer. For you non-shooters thats were several friends get together and shoot at whatever they have brought along with them in the back of their pick-up. Lots of fun and yes we clean up afterward.
I placed 3 well placed shots it one of the CD's which didn't shatter like I expected. It hangs on a wall as a reminder of how much I don't like them.

they are pawns. Morally speaking, they are prawns.

Country artists awarded Grammys after not winning Country music awards are not unprecedented - the standards are different.
For example Johnny Cash produced some greatest country music for the first 20 years of his career and for the last ten years (with a very sad period in the middle)- was unappreciated and unawarded by the country establishment.
The most painful was 1998 when Johnny "came back from the dead" with a brilliant album - American recordings and started winning Grammys. Three more magnificent albums followed, winning all kinds of awards but no Country recognition.
Not till Johnny was dying did Nashville reluctantly give him some of his due.
At one point his label ran a full page ad in variety saying Johnny Cash would like to thank the Nashville Music establishment anf this picture.

Its not just the Grammy that exclude and include for political reasons.

"DIXIE SLUTS!"
The Chicks are really looking like ole hens. They did not add anything to the grammy's.
They just look so has-been.

I listen to a lot of country music on the radio and CMT. Besides that stupid song "I'm not reqady to make nice" that got virtually zero air play on country music I couldn't tell you one other song on their album?!?!?!?

This article really surprised me. Chet Flippo is a long time music writer, and I would have assumed he was a lefty. This is quite refreshing.
