Jab at Bush a flop for Dixie Chicks (Tolerance for cheeky celebrities is getting low indeed)

WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | 3/16/2003 | Jennifer Harper

[TLBSHOW]

Just ask the Dixie Chicks, who quickly discovered their timing was off

[scottinoc]

One more variation:

Why did the Chicks cross the President?

To give aid and comfort to the other side.

[McGavin999]

"I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect."

Yeah? Then why didn't you do that Nat? Instead you aired family laundry in a public forum. Not just to a public forum, but to one that is known to be in the process of deciding a very serious issue that is important to this country.

Your comments were disloyal to this country. You want to state your views, state them HERE, don't go onto foreign soil and trash our president when we're about to go to war.

God these people are stupid!

[RummyChick]

here is another pic for you graphic people to use...cut out the bush crap on it and redo it with something about the Vichy chicks or France

More on Crow treachery:

One of the songs, "Leaving Las Vegas," was a tune Baerwald had co-written that was inspired by his friend John O'Brien, the then-unknown author of the book of the same name. (It was later made into the Oscar-winning film starring Nicolas Cage as a man who drinks himself to death.)

Everything went bad almost immediately after the album "Tuesday Night Music Club" was released in late 1993. Crow had made it clear the guys weren't going to be involved in the tour. Gilbert was devastated. The record started to climb the charts, and Crow went on David Letterman in March '94 to play "Leaving." When Letterman asked if the song was autobiographical, Crow said yes. Baerwald was furious; O'Brien was deeply hurt. As the album went on to sell millions, O'Brien, not known for a level emotional state, committed suicide soon after the Letterman show, which led many to the misguided notion that Crow had some sort of hand in O'Brien's death.

By 1996, an incredible amount of money was flowing into the hands of everyone who had been involved in the project, even though none of the participants, except the woman who's face was on the cover, seemed all that happy with it. Baerwald and Crow weren't speaking. Bottrell quit the sessions for Crow's next album. In May of 1996, Gilbert was found dead of accidental autoerotic asphyxiation.

Baerwald admits none of them dealt with any of this all that well. Crow "kind of got run out of (Kevin's) funeral. I feel really bad about that." That was the last time Baerwald saw her.

The Ditsy Chicks

[rintense]

Kevin and Sheryl were dating, though I'm not sure they were dating at the time of Kevin's death.

[Rockitz]

E-mails in combination with a boycott of their products will produce the desired results. They certainly won't renew their affiliation with the Ditzy Twits. Corporations do their best to minimize high negatives and right now they have exactly that.

[BulletBobCo]

Two Ditsy Chicks were walking through the park one day when they found a compact laying on a bench. One of them picked it up, opened it, looked in the mirror and said, "Boy, she sure looks familiar!". The other Ditsy Chick grabed the compact from the first, looked at the mirror and said, "Of course she looks familiar. That's me!"

I was thinking chunky too. We don't want to hear those "Crispy Chunk 'n' Clucks"anymore!!!!!!

[Beck_isright]

LOL, good one. Actually I still vote for the "VICHY CHICKS"...

[LowOiL]

As a followup to my post 87 (I think). WQSB (the largest country and listening station in Alabama) has not only banned the UnAmerican Chicks, but have put up a comment page to where you can state what you will about them. It is almost all negative, it mentions people from all over the nation that has emailed them, but most are good ole Alabamians like me.

Thank you WQSB of Alabama for being American supporters

It was one of the most ridiculous, anti-war pieces I've read yet. It is totally incomprehensible as argument. This cretin entertainer has her history on backward and cannot seem to string thoughts together without making some very strange assertions (Bosnia, the failure to come to the aid of African countries etc.). She is actually worse than the Dixie Chicks and should get the same response from fans as they are.

[Freedom2specul8]

That looks like dixie flakes!

[Mr_Magoo]

The only acceptable reason to attend a Ditzy Chit concert would be to throw rotten tomatos as an expression of free speach.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Unfortunately, this won't happen. This only a temporary reaction. The public's ire lasts about 60 days before the onset of amnesia.

Don't be too sure. Country Music fans are mad. I have been listening to the local station and I have not heard one call in support of the Fried Chickens.

They should just change their name to "Cooked Goose" and get it over with.

[InterceptPoint]

My prediction: Bush will forgive the Dixie Chicks.

He is the only one who can do it and I think he will. That won't get them back to where they were but will save their careers. It won't change my opinion of them (or probably Bush's) but I think he will do it as a very public example of "putting our differences behind us".

Just my $.02.

[Quilla]

Good work, LowOil.

I'm in Dothan and we have two country music stations. As I'm addicted to talk radio (as well as FR), I had to ask my children if either were boycotting the DC's. One was, one wasn't. I just emailed the station that was not and explained that I would contact and boycott their advertisers and would enlist my neighbors, friends, and business associates to do the same.

[Uncle Meat]

I've seen "Vichy Chicks" and "Blixie Chicks." Not to mention "Ditsy Chicks"

I've always called them "The Chixie Dicks".

[TheLurkerX]

I've started referring to Natalie Maines as Fatalie Gaines..

Here's yet another poll that needs Freepin'...
