As a lifetime lover of popular music, any satisfaction about the decline of the DixChix is counterbalanced by the fact that 50 Cent has captured the country's imagination, and, more importantly, that R. Kelly isn't a chart outcast after his pedophilic activity has become known again. Apparently, in a country in which a man who drugged and raped a 14-year-old wins an Academy Award and the Oscar-winning screenscribe of Chicago is penning a biopic honoring the architect of American perversion, Alfred Kinsey, it's no longer a big deal to cross the line into child rape anymore.

Norah's nice. But there are few real singers out there now. Good god, John Mayer's a star. Britney fails, but at least she tries.

Down 42%.

This is better than a paid CNN/USA Today poll. Folks putting their money where their mouth is.

the Oscar-winning screenscribe of Chicago is penning a biopic honoring the architect of American perversion, Alfred Kinsey,

Oops, Bill Condon (Chicago) didn't win the Oscar this time round. Mea culpa. I quit watching after Eminem won -- I only saw one movie last year -- Attack of The Clones -- and it wasn't up for anything important.

(Personal to George Lucas: You're on a losing streak, pal. Episode III better be doggone good, or else the entire series will be deemed irrelevent. If Hayden Christiansen is anywhere near the set, he better be in heavy makeup playing a grotesque alien, a role that better fits his acting skills. What were you thinking?)

That was one costly remark. I do believe it had a sobering effect on the hollyweird crowd during Oscar night. I'm sure that the outcry and boycott against the Chicks was in the back of their minds when debating on whether to step up to the mike and use it for their political purposes or keep quiet and conserve their bottom line. Not much was said there besides Michael Moore's spew, which was expected.

Yes, you make an excellent point. I'd be thrilled with the news except for those who replaced them at the top. Ugh.

The Fonda Chicks are dead on country music radio and the CMA. That won't stop the Hollywood owned Grammys from electing them country group of the year from here to eternity.

Today I read that the Dixie Chicks have announced they're through apologizing.

This is a tactical maneuver, to make them seem in control of the situation.

If you have a moment, read why it's a good idea to Keep up the FReep:

Why FReeping the sponsors of celebrities works...

They have a tour coming up in a few months, be interesting to see what attendance is like. Before "the comment" they were pre-selling tickets, but to buy them you had to pay to join their fan club first, and then and only then could you have a shot at buying tickets. Sale of fan club memberships and tour tickets would be an interesting measure of whether this boycott thing will last for a while or not.
