The current tour just suffered a meltdown. Fat Nat and Friends were forced by their promoter to shut down their U.S. tour on August 18th and will not return to the U.S. until November 9th with a revised schedule that includes more cancellations. This is the biggest tour debacle in U.S. music history.

They will spin it as the Chicks wanted to spend time promoting their new film rather than playing to empty concert venues.

More details will become available today...

Send those dumb clucks to Iran for a performance, I would dearly love to see the interaction between those 9th century jihadists and these latter 20th century semi-musical sluts.

I might even pay a cover charge for that kind of entertainment!

My bet is that those few who bought their new CD in the US are probably the same folks who bought Hillary's book a couple years back. People who bought it only for "political" reasons, and who never even opened the package.

I wonder if their management or someone scooped up copies just to boost sales. Is it possible?

Whatever. They have the right to free speech. We have the right to respond.

They disgust me.

People give me guff about my tag-line. They say it is not in line with the current polling. I say the Dixie Chicks are conducting a poll of their own, and it is a heck of a lot more accurate about attitudes in the Heartland than anything Gallup is doing. And at this point, indications for the Republicans are very favorable.

>>The conservative country music community<<

That's almost, but not completely redundant.

I am sorry they turned out the way they did, but you can't be dismissive of your fans and expect them to reward you with platitudes. The Dixie Chicks had a shot at being one of the very best vocal groups, but they managed to snatch total defeat from the jaws of victory with the innane statements Natalie insisted on making. They made their own bed of hatred, now they reap the results of their own stupidity. Damn shame too!

If history is a reliable indicator of future behavior, the Chik with the big mouth will try to fix things by poking country fans in the eye with a pointy stick yet again, only deeper and harder.

The second time they ran their mouths about how awful America was, they also ran off those who had been willing to give them a second chance.

Can you spell toast?

Since Willie thought they got a bum rap maybe he can take them on his tour and use them as an opening act. Or maybe both Willie and the Hens can preform for Kinky at his political stops as he runs for governor of TX.

Anyone know how many tix the finally wound up selling for their Pittsburgh, PA date? I know it wasn't selling well, Country Radio here has basically completely ingnored their new albumn and work, in fact the only part of any of their new work I have heard to date were clips they had on their own ads for their concert that they were paying for.... just curious what the final numbers were.
