Witch hunt?  Better get a thesarus and look up the definition.

This was basically a review of where they are at today after the controversy two years ago.

They did well in 2003 for a couple reasons, one, sales of most concert tickets were complete before the controversy really got wings, and two, they do have a loyal fan base.

But, record sales really dont pay the artist much, most money comes from concerts and radio play residuals.  With radio play at almost zero, they lost that revenue stream, and without concerts, they dont have that either.

Granted, they are already rich, and will never go hungry, and I wouldnt want them too, but I find it interesting how they have dropped off the radar all together.

Yes, they been off having babies, but that doesnt account for the almost complete lack of news, music or radio play.

also, IIRC emily and martie were both preggers before this...

i know 1 of them has a kid in 2002, another had one in 2003 or 2004, either way, they didnt "start having kids" after the incident, they were well on their way to that anyway.

I'm not surprised that radios have ceased to play an album that was released in 2002. Can you think of any artists that are still getting significant airplay for albums done in 2002 or even 2003?

As for the long hiatus... It seems to be the norm for the artists that enjoy monstrous success. They disappear for 3-5 years and then release a new album and start touring. Nothing new here.

Lastly, there is this one minor detail. There seems to be no shortage in people that are unhappy with Bush. If the approval of the Dixie Chicks is indeed low, wouldn't the approval of Bush be better?

The Dixie Chicks would be #1 if they would just do a few Hank Willaims covers.

Williams...  Williams... Williams...

FWIW, I never really took a hankerin to em.  Cept'n the thin short haired blonde one.  The tall and dark haired one has cat cross eyes to me and the pug blonde is cute and all but not my type.

I like em ok I guess....if I have to....just not what I would have thought a country supergroup would be.

They look pretty good, but I've never been into their music much either, FWIW.

I've never liked the Dixie Chicks.  I consider their "sound" annoying.  Not many women can sing country very well, and the Dixie Chicks aren't among that select few.  

It's probable that whats-her-name getting fat has more to do with any loss of success than any words any of them said.  As with several other talentless female groups, some people bought their records because they were "hot".

With all of the Bush bashing that goes on in this BBS, people still get bent out of shape because of the above quote?  It's not like they went to Iraq and acted as human shields.

Yes, if I were a Texan I might be pissed off.
As a Texas native I'm proud to say Bush is from Connecticut, not Texas.

Kind of a shame really, they were talented and made some good music, they were at the top of their games and careers, making a ton of money.

Now, never hear from them anymore.  I wonder if they will ever regain any of the fame they had and lost.

I dont really mourn them, I was angry at the comment and the pandering it represented.
