I'm currently reading this. Although written by an obviously sympathetic liberal, it details the trials of the DC and goes into the history of politics in country music. FreeRepublic is mentioned a couple times, even indexed.Chuck the Fixie Dicks!
Dixie Who?
Just say "NO" as I do.
I vote with my money and none of it will go to them.
Are they going to tour to flog the CD? If so, anyone heard who any sponsors might be?
Your contribution isn't needed in this world, DCs, because we already have enough people who don't want to make nice.
Their music is garbage BUMP!
The album picture shows they are not aging well. But who am I to judge them? Never liked their music anyway - they were never "country" in my book - rather commercial.
Our mistake was acknowledging what they had to say in the first place. Chixies (with) Dicks!
They were the Number 1 country group in the USA when fat Natalie opened her yap about Bush. They lost their entire base, and the libs ain't gonna fill the void.
There's a lesson in here, somewehere. I think it's "just shut up and sing"...
Who are these "Dixie Chicks"?
Couldn't help but notice how they dominated the CMT Music Awards this year.../sarcasm

The Ditzy Hicks are so over......yawn........
Dixie Chicks have made their fame on being slick, pop music with a twang and being called "country" for the formulaic music radio and fans. When they have taken on an "issue" before 2004, their thinking has been shallow and simplistic.
So, neither their music nor their philosophy has been my cup of tea. I'll continue to ignore their music and their public statements. As far as I'm concerned, they've never given me much reason to pay attention to anything that they do.
The drive-by media presents the case that the Dixie Chicks woes began with Natalie Maines criticism of President Bush and the war in Iraq.
In reality, their problems began in the summer of 2002, when Natalie criticed Toby Keith's song "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" and in so many words, criticized the GWOT at a time the main focus of the war was still Afghanistan (and other places covertly I'm sure.) But the media pretends that the Chicks are against the Iraqi part of the war, when actually they are against the war as a whole.
I saw the Chicks in 1993 before Natalie was their lead singer, and I wish they had kept their original lead.
Atlas yawned...
