Anyone wanna take bets that her album sales mysteriously spike, she suddenly is promoted as the next Dolly Parton, fetted as the belle of the ball...and then her next album UNEXPECTEDLY! tanks, followed by cries of ‘homophobia’?
Wonder if she has an album coming out anytime soon?
The problem with that line of thinking Norm is that it just isn't true. I'm often surprised at the number of people who think the Dixie Chicks simply ruined their careers, and conservative boycotts taught them a lesson. The truth is that after Maines made her remarks in March, 2003, in London. The Chicks released a live album in late 2003 which went gold, which they followed with a double platinum album in 2006. Couple that with 3 successful post-2003 tours, which while they might have second billing, still earned each member millions, and you have ignorant people who think they're ruined.
Yeah, they slipped from ultra-super-duper stardom to plane old super stardom, or a worst case scenario (from the vp of the chicks) just simple stardom. Some success those boycotts eh.
I wouldn't even expect the same success with Underwood. She's prettier, hipper, and has more crossover appeal. If she's isn't millions richer in 5 years I'll admit I was wrong, but what do want to bet me that I won't have to?
