Goodbye "Blue State Bimbos"; stick 'em in the trunk with Earl.

Several concerts on the Dixie Chicks' "Accidents & Accusations" tour have been canceled after slow ticket sales, but the group says it has replaced them with other dates.

Meanwhile, at the Elk Grove Retirement Home...

Ethel: "Those young women sing so nicely, don't you think, Ted?"

Ted: "Yeah, but the stupid looking fat chick? She's gotta go..."

Don't know if that's original but I like it. Excellent.

Well, that's what you get when you use Artie Fufkin for your promoter...

He a real charmer all right!

They're musically boring. Ever listen to them?

Yes, once. Exactly once.

Maybe their publicist is just making it up. Maybe they just "stuffed the channel", and it is all sitting in the bins down at Coconuts et al.

I'm reminded of the scene in "Fargo" where Jose Feliciano is singing in a hotel dining room. LOL

I shouldn't be too hard on Artie. I hear it was a timing issue....

I was waiting for the ubiquitous "I am better than the other posters on this thread because I am their net nanny and forum etiquette critic."

Thanks for making my wait a short one.

The group also said the adjustments will allow them to promote the documentary "Dixie Chicks: Shut up and Sing,"

Nice of them to rip off Laura Ingraham like that.

Well they titled the tour partly correctly. But it should have been "Accidents and Train Wreaks".

Natalie Maines is fat and their music is overproduced and stinks.

Group spokeswoman Kathy Allmand said Monday that the total number of North American dates remains the same, with several Canadian cities added in place of the U.S. shows.

They could also add some dates in France and Germany while they're at it. I'm sure they'll get a good reception there.

"...attemps to accommodate demand..."

I love it when free market economics bring consequences. Natalie is free to say what she believes. Everyone else is free to go their concerts -- or not.
