I don't care for Penn, but show me proof (other than the fictional article in the Australia's Herald Sun) stating that Penn brought a film crew.

Let's see... you have a link to the Herald Sun and then three links that reference it.

Oh yeah... that's conclusive.

Pointing out the obvious about dubya isn't a smart thing to do when your target demographic is rednecks. So I guess dubya isn't the only tard from texas.

they were very talented musicians, and entertainers.

hell when their first album came out natalie was hot

i was a fan, but dont listen much any more, except a few occasional songs from the last album that have a real bluegrass feel.

whoever said they were the "spice girls" nope. natalie was professionally trained at berkley school of music, her father a very famous steel guitar player in nashville. emelie and marty, the other 2 sisters, played on street corners in texas, and can actually play the banjo / dobro / fiddle better than most of us could ever hope to.

on a side note, there was a relative of one of them who played AH a few years back lol

yeah, they are talented musicians.

A spice girls comparison doesnt work. The spice girls were a corporate invention, the Dixie Chicks built themselves into what they became with hard work, talent, training and experience. The had to fight to get a contract.

Unfortunately with one stupid comment, and without the commercial sense to shutup and do some serious damage control, their careers came to a screeching halt.

This had to cost them millions.

I doubt that the Bush comment cost them much at all. I doubt that they have ever enjoyed a better year than 2003.

According to Billboard in 2003:

#3 Top Pop Artis - Duo/Group
#3 Top Billboard 200 Album
#4 Top Billboard 200 Album Artist
#3 Top Internet Album
#1 Top Billboard 200 Album Artist - Duo/Group
#4 Top Hot 100 Singles Artist - Duos/Group
#4 Top Country Artist
#1 Top Country Artist - Group/Duo
#2 Top Country Albums
#2 Top Country Album Artist
#1 Top Country Album Artist - Group/Duo
#3 Top Country Single Sales

They may have come to a screeching halt, but I'm betting it has more to do with babies than Bush.

sandman, that was all before the booosh comment.

they were completely off the charts less than a month after... the local country station has just this past month started playing them again, only later at night, and there is another local country station that still wont play their music

True, they haven't released a studio album since 2002.

Easy fix, instead of the Dixie Chicks listen the The Dixie Cups

going to the chapel and... going to get married...

Mustaine, the Bush comment was in March of 2003. Those are the year-end results from Billboard.

In August of 2003, they finished their summer tour with $61 million in gross sales, the top grossing country tour for the year... 57 sold out dates and third overall in concert sales.

You guys are desperately hoping that Maine's comment cost her, but the facts don't support the opinion. The Dixie Chicks are quite rich enough to stay at home and raise children for awhile.

Show me where I was wrong about there being a photographer with him.

Hey buddy, you need to quit cluttering this 2 year too late witch hunt with facts. I'm keeping my eye on you.

I submit that they would have been the highest grossing entertainers in the world in 2003 had maine not spoken out so poorly against a sitting president while entertaining in a foreign land.

2003 should have been the years the Dixie Chicks blew the roof off. Reality appears to be, to me at least, that they have withdrawn from public life. Are they even maiking music anymore???

Your suggestion that babies are the reason seems a convenient assumption to support your left bias, I suspect the baby making is a simply a result of having a lot of time on their hands (no pun intended) to support my right bias.

Form this day forward we shall refer to the gals as

"The Chixie Dicks"
