The Dixie Chicks cleaned up this morning with Grammy nominations. They received the big three: Best Album, Song and Record for “Taking the Long Way” and the single, “Not Ready to Make Nice.”
They got two more, for performance in the country category, and their producer, Rick Rubin, was also nominated. Not bad, considering the flack they took in the three years leading up to the album’s release
Somethine tells me not to hold my breath waiting for them to withdraw their names from "country" categories. Hypcrits with absolutely no integrity!
I'll be the first to say, they will win...No doubt, the fix is in.
Yep.
but of course! as early as 11/30 articles were published to shape the opinion that chicks deserve the win based on the politics alone because thats what is important and that a win for them would be a referendum on the Bush administration and would give liberals a chance to granstand.
For more pleaureable movies, go to EBAY and get some of the classics of former years. Why buy the NEW when the old is better?
Its actually sad that Mary J Blige has to take a back seat to the chicks (even though she scored the most nominations) because she didnt exploit a manufactured contrversy. She did what most artists do, put out an album and let it be judged on ite merits alone. But the MSM isnt shilling for her, she hasnt paid enough of her Bush Bashing dues yet. Very sad day for music fans indeed.
Who didn't see this coming?
The Grammys are run by liberals where they honor drug addicts and other assorted low-lifes. Let's see how the Chicks do in the Country Music Awards.
Grammys lost their relevency years ago. Hell, Gwen Stefani was nominated 5 times last year and her album was garbage. Thats g-a-r-b-a-g-e for you Gwen fans! ;)
They were snubbed. They were also snubbed for the AMERICAN music awards.
For me, the Grammys lost their relevancy in 1978 when A Taste of Honey won best new artist instead of Elvis Costello.
They should just go on and change their names to the PHONEYS...its more accurate. Chalk this up as yet another low ratings year for the grammys. LOL
Idn't Natalie the little fat one?
There is nothing little about her. Short ans stalky, yes! Little, no.
Ironically, the Dixie Chicks music has become more mainstream and conservative while their fan base has not.
Can you please post a working link to the story. Thanks.
1989 Grammy for Hard Rock:
Nominees:
AC/DC - Blow Up Your Video
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Metallica - And Justice For All...
Iggy Pop - Gold Metal
and the winner was...
Jethro Tull - Crest of a Knave
The Grammies are stupid and irrelevant.
That's the book definition of liberal.
Two words: Milli Vanilli. LOL~
Sorry, thought I had....

LOL I was gonna post the Jethro Tull/Metallica fiasco but you beat me to it. I haven't taken the Grammys seriously since then.
I have bought several copies of their new CD to give as gifts, but also bought 7 of the very first one to include with the new one. It is, and always will be, my favorite.
Seeing the two threads on the Chicks and the fact that they won the top awards says something about the Grammys.
And you support them because....?
So you don't see the artistic merit of "Boogie Oogie Oogie"? :-)
Because she is friends with some of the chicks families.....you know the type that like to nbame drop.
Oh for heaven's sakes...why does anyone care?? Honestly. Why would Anyone care?????
oh..my....gawd....you know nothing about me. Nothing.
That was about as safe of a bet, as predicting the Detroit Lions would not make the playoffs.
That is fine, but they really should just change the name of the award to the Shammies as it's a sham award. Truth in advertising that way.
I did not mean to be rude. I think the answer to your question is obvious. I buy their music because I like their music. Those for whom I bought their cd's also like their music. If they did not, I would have bought other music for them. And my question was sincere. Why does anyone care about what music I like?
I was think good that day...Oh, wait. The truth will always come out, so I guess my think had nothing to do with the results.
Well I have a memory of you jumping in on DC threads speaking out of your bum of things you know little about....or was it you just making things up? Anyway...I also recall you stating you were never again gonna post on a DC thread after having that same bum handed to you. You went on and on about the DC not having to cancel any concerts in their former home state of Texas, and when it was proven they canceled Houston, you started backpeddleing.
Yes, i remember you well. you even bragged about knowing emily's family or something like that.
It was another Freeper, I wish I could remember his name that said ( and this was several years back)they should have name the awards after the Phonogram instead of the Gramaphone, thus calling them the PHONEYS!
I never bragged about anything. Someone asked me a question. I answered it.
I posted here today because Guenevere asked me a question. I answered her question.
You are rude. And you and I remember differently. No one handed me anything.
Go play your dixie cowards albums.
You are rude and obnoxious. I shall do what I want when I want. You need a 12 step program it seems.
bite me.
