One of them is married to Charlie Robison, another country singer.
They both shot off their mouths for good media. Tim should learn from his late father, a very great man. I never knew what Tug McGraw's politics were, only that he was one of the happiest, most fun loving, money ballplayers around. If you got a baseball card through the mail to him, he signed it. He was a classy, all around guy, and a champion. He never mentioned politics and I've never heard a bad word written or spoken about him.
I like Tim McGraw's music, but the only disc I have was given to me by my daughter. As for Faith Hill, I knew she was a lib from the beginning. I never knew why she sold records aside from being hyped like crazy.
McGraw has also been quoted as saying Bill Clinton was the best president we ever had. He can sing but boy is he dumb. I'm not a big boycotter but I'm doing my own personal banzai boycott on CDs by McGraw and Hill. I'll stick with Sara Evans and Martina McBride. Now those two can sing!
The minute CMT plays the chicks, they lose me.

Let freedom ring brother!
That would be some good stuff. I really appreciate how Toby has stuck by the troops through this whole thing. Tickets to his concerts go for big bucks but he always takes time out to go back over and entertain the troops. Toby talks the talk and walks the walk. Toby Keith will always have fans. The troops don't forget those who remembered them while they were doing what they had to do.
There's a lot of herself to think of.
Good. Hopefully this fat, little turd will go back to Texas, shut her friggin' mouth and live off the money she made making music in a genre she apparently never really believed in.
They--the Dixie Chicks--simply don't matter anymore. They are irrelevant and even Bruce Springsteen's self-absorbed invitation to Rock 'n Roll couldn't help them. I'm a rock 'n roller too and as such I rescend the invitation. Those b!tches aren't welcome here either.
My advice to them? Try NPR.
If she and her co(w)horts truly felt that way, these singles would never have been released to country stations in the first place. Hell, if it were true, their new album wouldn't have sounded like country music in the first place. This was a preemptive statement to cover her ass; she knew full well that the chances of country fans back the Chicks were slim. But the evidence is right there to see: It's a country album, with only limited crossover appeal in the first place, just like all their prior albums. And it bombed.
And in any case, it's all irrelevant. The article notes that the same song only made it to number 32 on the adult contemporary charts before stalling and dying. The Dixie Chicks aren't wanted anywhere. They might as well start sending their records to rap stations, since they couldn't do much worse there.
Hubris.
As I recall, they indicated they agreed with her.
The Ditsy Chicks thought that with George W. Bush's popularity falling, they could ride that to a comeback.
The results are self-evident.
They make vampire Pez dispensers now?
They have stood beside her on this entire thing (remember the infamous Entertainment Weekly cover a few years back?), and IIRC it's the other two (who are sisters) that "own" the band, with Fat-alie merely being an employee. If that's the case, they could have thrown her overboard at any time and continued with a different lead singer, if they'd wanted to. It certainly would have been the correct business move, regardless of the political ramifications.
As such, I think it's safe to say they're all in on this together.
NOT READY TO BUY YOUR LOUSY CD, EITHER.
I was just reading an article the other day about some guy with a book out (can't remember who) that was so happy because, after being interviewed on TV somewhere, his book shot up to #1 on Amazon.
For an hour.
Then it disappeared back down into the 4-digit range.
