You know, the ditzy hicks.

Three years ago at the beginning of the Iraq war, the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, Natalie Maines, told a concert crowd in London, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United Sates is from Texas." That statement set off a firestorm against the Chicks. Many Americans saw the quote as unpatriotic, especially in a time of war.
Subsequently, Miss Maines apologized for the tone of her remarks, but stands by her opposition to the Bush administration. Now the Dixie Chicks have a new CD which some stations will not play the lead single from, a song that says the Chicks aren't ready to back down from anything. It's a pretty good song. There is no reason not to play it. At a Time magazine event last night, I ran into Natalie Maines, who is not exactly my No. 1 fan. She chided me for predicting on this program that the new CD she has out would sell just two million units, which is pretty good these days. We had a discussion about it a few weeks ago. She saw the show.

Why is OReily trying to rehabilitate the left?
He is revocal against the Federal Marriage Amendemtn with what-her-name chenny's "how i like to have sex" book,
He is pandering to the democrats,
All I have to do is see the promo for his show to know that 8 pm is a tv free hour.
O' Reilly, has his own agenda, and I suspect he's trying to get in the singer's pants.
You know, the ditzy hicks.
she is definitly fat.
Her ugly runs straight down to the bone.
The dixie chix are dead gone and never to appear again.
"Why is OReily trying to rehabilitate the left?"
Because OReally is no conservative. He's a look-at-me blowhard. He's stupidity re: the oil companies proved that, if nothing.
He just looked conservative because the Old Media was so bad for so long.
The Dixie Sluts need some money so they've churned out a new CD based on their standard formula. Yawn. The boycott continues. Dont buy the CD. Dont download it from iTunes. Hit 'em where it hurts - the bank account.
Somebody share the Larry the Cable Guy quote
Laura Ingraham played a clip a while back of Susan Sarandon (on Oprah or some such show) talking about how she believed the Bush administration was tapping her phone. I laughed out loud when I heard that. These egomaniacs actually believe that the leader of the free world actually gives a hoot about what they are saying.
Couldn't say it better...
The Dixie Chicks are to music as a pair of size 20 panties with holes in them is to a clothesline.
"Natalie Maines has paid the price for her remarks. Her life has been threatened and she remains under siege. That is wrong as well. The woman has a right to believe what she wants to believe. You have a right to reject her beliefs and not to buy her stuff. But to punish her further is not in the spirit of America"
Looks like O'Reilly is really buying into this victim status card Maines and the Chicks have been trying to play. I remember them whining about how no one in country music came to defend them and then BTW they were switching genres because no one in country music had any talent anyway.
So what are we all supposed to do now and how have we been punishing her if it's by not buying her CD? And since when did Bill become a music critic?
But you wouldn't enjoy yourself, right??
When the Dixie chicks hit the scene I really liked them for what I saw as a new, original sound fusing country and rock by three very talented female musicians. They didn't hesitate to show their instermental chops and Maines had a good voice. In their last album and the first single from their current album they have become the same overly produced, music by the numbers pablum that most other current mainstream music is. Sure the songs are OK and the performance is studio perfect but you feel as if you've heard it all before. Also, you can anticipate every lick and chord change two bars before it happens because it's the same formulistic pap as the last and next song you'll hear on FM radio.
"But you wouldn't enjoy yourself, right??"
Yes, I'd make a point of looking disgusted the whole time, keeping my legs crossed and my arms folded in my lap.
