I must have seen this in the movies 20 years ago? It was bizarre and funny. I hear that Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young will be touring this summer. $175.00 per ticket at Hershey Park in PA. That should be a real Bush Bashing time. A bunch of old left over hippies trashing America. And the idiots are going to pay for it. LOL

The pig girl doesn't look half bad in this picture. I guess air brush and a decent nose job do work

They should have followed Mariah Carey. Carey had a great comeback after a bomb of a movie and album.



Huge difference, she did not diss the President especially on foreign soil. Mariah just was going insane and needed to recoup.

You're right...Tim McGraw is the next up. He wants to run for office as a Democrat. Let's see how that goes.



Why are you upset with him wanting to run for office? I know as a democrat, but to compare him to Natalie who is a treasonous trader is a bit much. We might not be in agreement with Tim, but why vilify him. Are we supposed to hate a person because they run for democratic office. I actually thought it was very nice of him to be going over to Iraq and Afganistan to play for the troops and he also visits various military bases throughout the states. It appears he has family values. Keep in mind, I would rather him not win this race, but I refuse to hate him over it. (Unless of course he starts to bash the President overseas. Than he deserves your disgust for him, but until he proves that to me, I can't hate the guy). Sorry to upset you over this, but I am probably more fair than most on here. Have a great day.

Politics aside, there are plenty of overproduced, over-reverbed, over-chorused, over-Harmonized "hot new country" acts out there to waste your money on.

Unreal. Taking cheap shots at a musical genius (and I don't use the term loosely) who died at 22?

What a photo! I have been around women who had that attitude, but not for long.

Still waiting for all the "progressives" to put their money where their mouth is and plunk down the $$$ for Dixie Chicks CDs. After, they're both sainted upholders of the 1st Amendment......

The songwriting credit lists all three Chicks — Emily Robison, Martie Maguire and Maines — and Mike Campbell.

Uh-oh...I hope it's not Heartbreaker Mike Campbell, who is one of my guitar idols.

When they hit the New Yorker's music review, I guess we'll know.

but why vilify

Show me where I vilified him. That post was in response to this one

Most liberal country music stars have the good sense to realize that their audience doesn't share their politics, and keep their politics to themselves. A few however can't help the temptation to develop "foot-in mouth" disease. Dolly Pardon almost went this route but saw the the writing on the wall and quietly dropped the liberal vent.

The post was accurate in that when a performer starts speaking liberal, he loses some of his country audience. That was all I was saying about Tim. I said "Let's see" about McGraw. Everyone's gotta stop being so defensive around here.

And by the way, I will make a bet with you that he won't run for office. That's part of the Liberal/Dem big mouth MO...name me one or two lib celebrities who actually ever did put their money where their mouth is when it comes to running for office. I would welcome any Dem celebrity who actually did run because that would mean that they'd have to debate...and we all know how that would turn out!

"On the Chicks Web site Maines writes that the song "is not just about Lubbock, but about any small, hypocritical town.""

Like any small town occupied by people like her. WHenever you point a finger there are three pointing back.

I don't know if the Chix are redeemable in the Country Music scenario.

And fiddles, mandolins, and fat Chix aren't exactly acceptable in Pop music.

If the plane had not taken off in a snow storm.
If Maines's parents had decided to abort.

If only.

Oh, they stopped playing country long ago, when the artists who couldn't make it in rock any longer switched over to country, and brought their rock/pop attitudes with them.

I think Garth Brooks started the whole downfall.

With all due respect to fans of *real* country musc, I always get a good laugh out of people who ooh and aah at the staging of country concerts by Garth Brooks, Shania Twain et al. They are using the same stages (round, etc.), lighting rigs, effects and video screens that rock acts used 20+ years ago. Brooks has even acknolwedged his debt to theatrical acts like Kiss.

I know all about that. I don't support her financially in any way. I just don't change the channel when she comes on, like I do with most rabid moonbat libs.

Mike Campbell's great. The fills on Boys of Summer are magical.

I wondered about that, but it was a response to one of Natalie's quotes. She said country fans showed their true colors by boycotting her, so:

Uh huh. Exactly. Red, White & Blue.
