They got a new song out on the radio. And as much as I hate to say it, it's actually pretty good.

 

Yah,,,, um who are they again............

 

 

Shovelhead that's funny.

 

i havent missed them while they havent been on the radio

 

I don't listen to the radio too much....but I gotta say I haven't missed them a bit.

 

If they have a good song then let's hear it....everyone has the right to make dumb statements if they want..

-CM

 

I agree completely, but I also have a right not to listen to them b/c I disagree with them and that is what I choose to do. The few times I do hear them, I choose to channel surf.

 

It still strikes me funny that people hate the dixie chicks so much. Yeah, she made a stupid statement, and then appologized. People can't let it go. That was probably over a year ago. Merle Haggard wrote and recorded a song that bashes the war, and Bush, but nobody hates him. Why? Because the press didn't grab it and beat it to death, then beat it some more. Seems people today can't have feelings of their own without the press or media telling them how to feel. She was one of the millions that disagreed with Bush and the war, but people seem to believe that she was the only one. Just let it go.

 

It wasn't so much WHAT she said as it was the manner in which it was said....and the fact that she was on foreign soil when she said it. That doesn't matter though. This topic was beat to death when it first happened and the Dixie Chicken Legs aren't really worth spending the time to argue about.

As I said....I don't miss them.

 

Well, they never really did appologize, ha, ha, ha . Is that really so funny.

The other thing is, bashing the war is one thing, and an opinion they are entitled to. But calling someone a name, especially calling our leader a bad name while we are at war is just rude and uncalled for. That's the diff, and you just don't get it.

I don't intend on buying their junk, and I'll surf to Toby Keith when I hear their stuff on the air.

PS: Another good reason to avoid the clucks is they support PETA. I enjoy eating tasty animals, but I'm not supporting PETA.

 

Dixie Chicks- yawn.......

 

I do get it. I didn't like what she said either. I thought it was a bad thing to say, and definately a bad time to say it. The problem is that the way that 99% of people heard it was just that one sentence. As with everything with the press, it was taken out of context. Pulled out of a whole lot of sentences that didn't mean much, but when you seperate that one, it becomes worse than it is. It's not like she called a press conference to say what she did. I'm not saying that what she did was right, but she does have the right to say it. It was a year ago, and people can't let it go. What did the whole thing ammount to? Absolutely nothing. Bush wasn't hurt from it, the country wasn't hurt either. People burned their CD's, but they still sell millions. I support Bush, and the war, but I also support the fact that people do make mistakes, and have the right to free speech whether it suits your opinion or not. And how much better are the people who still attack them? There was a country that didn't have free speech, and when someone said something that the powers didn't like, they were attacked or killed. This country was called Iraq.

 

If they didn't hurt anyone then how come they started a rock band and quit country? Maybe because the millions of fans that supported them and Bush were hurt? Maybe their band members as well as their recording contract suffered?
Yes they do have a right to free speech, but sometimes it pays to shut-up.
I guess you can make those statements in a country that hates america.

 

If rock music can have a fiddle and a banjo, then I guess they can play rock music. I think they are wanting to be associated with rock because it was the rock people who came out and supported them, when country turned it's back, scared of controversy as usual. They didn't get support for what they said, but for how far people have taken it. The statement was about Bush, and he took it a thousand times better than everyone else who can't let it go. The statement wasn't about America, it wasn't about you, it wasn't degrading to the troops, it was about Bush, and it wasn't even a statement. She said it in passing at a concert. She said she was "ashamed that he was from Texas". Kerry has said worse about Bush, but of course he wasn't in England, so that makes it OK. Johnny Depp did a whole interview in France about how he thought the war was stupid, and Bush was stupid, but how many of you saw Pirates of the Carribean, or any other Johnny Depp movie? Why aren't people burning Johnny Depp movies? It just seems to me like the Dixie Chicks have become the whipping boy for everything, and I don't think that half the people even know the actual story. I'm not saying that anybody has to like them or anything near that. I just think that people should take a step back and look at the WHOLE incedent with some sense, not just a mob-mentality.
