I don't see why class has to be brought into a discussion such as this. I'm old money, but unlike the past two generations in my family, I don't actually think it's a sin to spend money. I grew up living well below what our means actually were, and my father did the same thing. When it came carnival time, no expense was spared, but if it wasn't the pre-Lenten season, basically, we lived damn near like paupers, compared to how I'm living now.
I have the money to dine at places where you'll drop 20 dollars on the glass of wine. It's not snobbery, it's not pretentiousness, it's that I have a personal taste for such items and I have the bankroll to back it up. One of the reasons that my father was so quick to become a Republican is because he had gained his political conciousness in the 1940s, when every damned word out of the Democrats mouth was, "little guys" vs. the Big Mules. We're not supposed to be concerned with issues of class or money, we're not for wealth redistribution, and that's why we're Republicans.
Rich people are not boogeyman, in actuality, most of the wealthy people in this country are Republican because they have earned their money, and they damned sure don't want the government telling them what to do with money they didn't help them make. Also, not all urbanites are Yankees, just urbanites in the North.
May I suggest the Dixie Chicks get the hell out of our country if they don't love it
May I also suggest they move to France .. they would fit in there better

Does anyone know what CDs are being released this or next week? I'd love to see the Ditzy Twits really fall on the charts.
"President Bush wasn't involved in any scrap with them.
What a stupid headline."
My thoughts exactly. And I'm so sick of hearing about all of their imagined persecution. People stopped buying their records-no one arrested them, beat them or tried to kill them, and I am certain that the "death threats" if they existed at all were few and far between.
Ye, you have a right to say whatever you want, morons, and we have a right to express our opinion of your comments with our feet.
yeah, well, it all depends on what you mean by "survived." word on the street is that they're in damage control mode.
Thanks for that. I read the list, and I'm so behind musically, I don't know who poses a competitive threat to the Twits.
They and the media like to paint this as a battle with the President simply to generate controversy against him. In my opinion, it only makes all of them look like fools. People who write articles like this only hope to keep a fingers pointed at all those but the ones responsible.
Sadly, neither do I. LOL. Don't really care for "pop". Most of the people I listen to (aside from CCM) are either dead or standing in the checkout line.
D'oh! Sorry! Stupid 24K dialup out here in the sticks!
Since the Chix are in Miami, maybe they should "Take the Long Way" off a short pier.
Patsy Cline was one of my favorites.
It would just be the metrosexual caveman with the shades pushed up on his head. The disgusted caveman with no appetite would not be eating lunch with the Ditzy Chimps.
Seems the dipsey chicks are spinning the loss of ticket sales on this tour.
I just found this on their website:
June 13, 2006
TOUR UPDATE:
"Eight new cities have just been added to the first leg of the North American tour (see tour page). No shows have been cancelled. Some originally-announced late summer concert dates that were going to be put on sale the weekend of June 10 were not put on sale until a final determination is made if they are going to be moved to the fall. More tour details announced as they become available."
