So the DC do nothing but INSULT their fans as "morons" or "retards who shoot animals" and then expect them to buy their CD's? WTF? I'm really getting sick of them being on every magazine cover whining about how life is just so tough for them. Who friggin' cares WHAT the DC's think. The MSM is so out of touch that they think this is "news".

Yes, yes,...What is it called when one repeats words or activities which creat an adverse outcome but upon repeating it one expects a different result?....Yes, that is it........

“I don’t regret anything,” Natalie Maines said Monday to a national TV audience. “I’m so glad it happened because it reminded me as to who I am. I guess I’m defiant, but defiant in a good way.”


“Forgive sounds good,” sings Maines. “Forget, I’m not sure I could / They say time heals everything, I’m still waiting.”



Infinity Broadcasting was one of the syndicates that canned the Chicks in 2003. Keith Clark, VP of programming for Pittsburgh’s WDSY, said through a written statement that “Taking the Long Way” does nothing to change the band’s standing.

“What has happened with the Dixie Chicks is an absolute shame,” he wrote. “Through poor choices in timing and attitudes (they) have caused so much bad will with the country audience. We all support their right to feel how they wish politically. ... The big issue seems to be the way they want to run from their musical roots and actually look down their nose at country.”

“Not Ready” peaked at No. 36 and quickly dropped to No. 50 in the trade journal Billboard Radio Monitor, which charts radio spins. That’s indicative of many stations spinning the single once or twice but not adding it to playlists.



The Chicks’ are currently behind a massive media push that includes the cover of Time, a slot on “60 Minutes,” and interviews on “Good Morning America.”



“I don’t care if they play us, I don’t care if they don’t,” Maines told USA Today. “I don’t listen to country (radio). But then, I don’t listen to any music.”
