Then I guess you can explain to me who I did see on November 16th at the

Good for them.

Dickweed doesn't know that means they could have sold 20 copies last

Meanwhile on Billboard, it's a total different story.

MioMyo havin' no fun on the bayou? The Chicks stuck to their guns and

didn't back down. Can you say integrity? I thought not.

WB Yeats

February 14, 2007

Ah, I think everyone you listed (with the exception of TOTO" ) have more

releases than the DC's.

And none of them has done a new record in years.

How many artists that came in when the Chicks did have their kind of

numbers?

If you really had something of substance to contribute, you would have

addressed my first point in this thread when I shot harky's lame point out

of the water. I'll be compassionate & give you another chance, so don't blow

it:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Country radio still isn't ready to

make nice with the Dixie Chicks.With a haul of Grammys

Sunday, the Texas trio topped their comeback from their

2003 Bush-bashing comment that turned them from

superstars to pariahs - but Music Row isn't welcoming

them back into the country- music fold.

"Most country stations aren't playing the Chicks, and they

aren't going to start now," said Jim Jacobs, owner of

WTDR-FM, a country radio station in Talladega, Ala.

The awards might have the opposite effect, sparking

another radio backlash against the group. Country

broadcasters said Monday that the group's five Grammys

show how out of touch the Recording Academy is from

the average country fan.

"I think (the listeners) are outraged," said Tony Lama,

program director for KXNP in North Platte, Neb.

"This is rural, conservative America. They are just

disgusted."

What in the hell does this drivel have to do with Ricky Bobby's

contention that Taking The Long Way only sold a million copies???

This article doesn't even mention unit sales. Didn't you read it?

February 15, 2007

First she says that the Dixie Chicks missed out on a lot of money by speaking

their minds. Then she says it's deluded to say that they're not sell-outs. And

THEN she makes a personal attack based on the kind of music somebody else

listens to. Kind of embarrassing to watch.

Good post. One other comment -- The DCs did it on their own, with

their own brains talent and guts. GW -- with every advantage and all

money his daddy's friends could give him -- managed to run his affairs

into a ditch time and time again. GW's fans are losers, short-sigted,

stupid and left behind, the sorrowful reside of a world that's moved

beyond them, that they just can't comprehend. The Chicks are the

heroes for today, people who make it on their own yet retain their

souls, deal honestly and stand solid for what they believe. The Chicks

are on the square, it's the Pugs and Neo-cons who've been lying us

into wars, stealing our money and shitting on the mass.

Four Grammys. Or was it five?

If you mouth-breathers bothered to monitor the real news, you'd realise that backing the shrubbites places you in a small insignificant dwindling minority.

Substance? Who the hell cares about what some 10 watt station in

Nebraska does (or doesn't). The Chicks swept the Grammys. Their CD

increased sales by over 800%. They've captured a whole new fan base.

And on top of that they accepted the awards with grace and charm (even

you God Bill O'Really fessed up to that). And btw - you didn't shoot

antbody out of the water with your 'substance' - more like substance

abuse.

The Dixie Chicks have crossed over.

They don't need rednecks anymore.

The "Soccer Moms" love 'em now.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's some hick in Talledega - probably related to Ricky

Bobby - who says most. And this is supposed to convince me why?

Haven't you learned yet to believe half of what you see and nothing of

what you read - you can read?
