Feelings about the Dixie Chicks...
I know that there were a lot of bad feelings for the Dixie Chicks when they came out against the war. I am just curious as to all of you that disliked them or mocked them for their stance on the war...have your feelings changed at all with the latest in the war and the change of direction by the administration?
Were the Dixie Chicks simply 'visionaries' who saw the war as misguided and ill planned about 2-3 years before Bush and the administration began to see it? |

In fact, I hate when anything that any celebrity says politically makes the news. I don't give a hoot what George Clooney or Barbara Streisand have to say about the war or the political party.

That said, I did buy their new album. I thought it had only one maybe two half way decent tracks on it. Compare that to the previous one which is one of the best top to bottom albums I own. I have been a pretty big fan of theirs in the past, though I am not much of a country fan. I'll probably buy their next album too. Go to another concert of theirs? Probably not.

I couldn't stand them before they put a whole shoe store in their mouth.
The lead singer is un-attractive and has a voice that sounds like she's a horse that's been shot. The Dixie Chicks suck.

I'm with Rocky. I like country music, but I hate the Dixie Chicks, 100% because of the lead singers voice. Which is too bad, because musically they are quite good.

As for the Dixie Chicks I put them in the category of every other country musician. They make the worst music known to man, and I would prefer being repeatedly hit in the head with a hammer to listening to their music. |

I'm ambivalent about the Dixie Chicks. My wife likes them, but to quote Bob McKenzie, "Not my style of music, eh."
As for their politics, whatever. I disagree with approximately half the United States on politics and I've found that it's not constructive to base myfeelings about somebody because of their political beliefs. I did hear their song "Not Ready to Make Nice" a few times on the radio this past summer. I remember thinking that it seemed like an approximate summation of President Bush's rationale for engaging in the global war on terrorism. |
