So, what's your position on the Dixie Chick's?
-
I'd like to be on top!

Between the two good looking ones, with the fat one fetching me beer.

You are waaaaaay too old!
-
ROFL ra!

Let them go in each other for a while and provide support when and where needed. Kinda like flying high cover. Gotta remember to hit alt R on this one.
-
Publicly admitting before a foreign audience of being ashamed of a republican president is unacceptable! :rolleyes:

I could care less what they do. They have the right to say what they want. It just seems dumb that they are now whining because so many other people are exercising their right to respond.

Ahhh, the "Freedom of Speech as long as it agrees with me" clause. I forgot about that.

They could not be whining at people "exercising their right to respond" by boycotting their products because their sales are going through the roof!
What they are whining about - that I've personally heard - is peope making death threats - which is illegal in this country and not a right protected under the Constitution.
It just seems dumb that one does not to recognise the distinction.

Who does not recognise this distinction? They use the death threats to wrap themselves in victimhood to try to deflect some of the anger of their fans.

Well, I guess I'd do the little blond one from behind. The other two could watch, but only on the condition that they all keep quiet. That means no talking OR singing! Squeeling is acceptable tho'.

ra: Who does not recognise this distinction?
Whoever said "It just seems dumb that they are now whining because so many other people are exercising their right to respond." that you've quoted - I assume it was Martlet. There is no "right to respond" by making death threats.

You really think they are lying and there are really no death threats? That in a country where several hindu got shot after 9/11 because patriotic idiots thought they were muslims there were not few people to write a threatening note or throw a rock through the window? How likely is that?

through the roof? That's odd. I guess your definition of "through the roof" is different than mine.

Miko,
Are you just trying to stir something up, or do you honestly believe that a few idiots making death threats represent the whole of people who disagree with the Dixie Ho's?

take a look at miko's posting history and you don't even need to ask that.

I'd bang them, but it would be a 'patriotic hate f*ck' type of bang. As in, when almost finished, I'd find an angle that made them very uncomfortable and then give them a big, final exaggerated hip thrust while saying "And THAT'S (thrust) from the Commander in Chief you Clueless potatos!".
I wouldn't enjoy any of it of course. I hate non-Johnny Cash type country music ("My Wife Done Left Me For My Favorite Horse and the Pickup done Died on the Way to the Gun Show", etc.). But I would consider it my duty. I don't have to like it. I just have to do it. :)

like to go up the hershey highway on the skinny ones while the fat sux's me clean:p

I like their music.
I support their right, a right all Americans enjoy to speak their minds.
I did not think it was right to critize the President in a foreign country in front of a foreign audience on the eve of a military action. It would have been more appropriate to keep the comments in-house.
I think Natalie screwed up, I think she knows it.
I respect the sisters Emily and Martie for sticking by their friend. I don't respect Natalies opinion, but she has a right to make such comments if she chooses to.
I also respect the right of anyone who chooses not to buy their music or attend their concerts because they don't agree or care for their politics.
The world will never be exactly what we want it to be, nor will the people in it.

Dixie Chicks are okay. I'm a little disappointed in them for backpedaling.
-
Well, they had their 1st live show since "the incident"....
Sold Out!

I guess all is forgiven unless you are Susan Sarandon.

They are still popular. They'll sellout most of their shows.
That doesn't change the fact that their album sales have dropped, and that hits their pocket.

What did you expect them to do? They're a business, not a band.

No problem here. It's just the ways of expressing that disagreement must be at least legal, if not moral.
I quite understand that more than half of americans would disagree with them and I have no problem with such people.
While I think myself that Mr. Bush commited grave mistakes in some of his policies, denigrading him as a person* - also the Texans who've elected him as a governor and half of the americans that voted for him - was very wrong on their part. If I ever listened to music, I would have skipped a couple of their concerts in protest.
On the other hand, death threats are just plain illegal. So is disrupting a concert and ruining the value for people who've paid good money for attending the concert.
You would not approve of anyone spitting into the soup you've bought at a restaurant or cutting your suit just because they are upset with the cook or a tailor. Or by making threats to a business make you stand in lines through a metal-detector.
There are civilised and legal ways to express one's indignation. Re-electing Bush would be the most productive of such ways.
Wlfgng: here's a little education for you: ALL celebreties get death threats
I never argued that they did not or should not have expected to. I just argued that a person is wrong to approve such ways of "exercising their right to respond".
There is plenty of crime out there. Does not mean it is OK to approve of it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* By the same token I believed Mr. Clinton should have been impeached for perjury and being a democrat, not elected at all, but that it was wrong to make a spectacle out of his personal relations with concenting adults.

CHICKS' ALBUM UP ON ALL-GENRE CHART
As the Dixie Chicks launch their U.S. tour still feeling the effects of a controversial one-liner seven weeks ago, their album "Home" jumps from No. 33 to No. 23 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart.

The only thing I have too much of today is time! Google is good.
If you were to look at my music collection you wouldn't see any Country (except the Grateful Dead's version of 'El Paso'), or pop chicks (Unless Joni Mitchell counts).
OTOH... that perv thing might be fun, where do I sign up?

I don't know but let us all know how it works out!

True, but there are a few artists out there that will stick to their "political" guns... even when pressed.

Very few in the country music buisness. Its a matter of knowing your customer base.
And Syz... artists these days make a majority of their money off of the concerts. Unless they produce their own albums... they don't make much there. The live performances are were the big bucks come from.
The comment was misguided and played to the audience at the time. Someone miscalculated how warmly it would be received by the customer base on the other side of the ocean.
Really not much more to it than that.

That is exactly right. She was playing to the audience.

Amazing what people will do in the name of the almighty dollar bill. I was pissed at Fatty for what she said... I began to question "thier" motives when they apologized. When they did the nude cover for Ent weekly (as much as I enjoyed it) I lost ALL respect I ever had or could have had for the Dixie Ho's (and I really did like'em for thier abilities as musicians). They have noodles for spines.
