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 am sorry tooblue, but you are wrong. This hurt the Dixie Chicks career overall. Ticket sales were down in a HUGE way...radio stations, especially in the south, stopped playing their music. Any publicity is good publicity is a fallacy and it proved itself again in regards to the Dixie Chicks. This cost them money and it cost them a lot of their fan base.

Am I the only one here that wouldn't know a Dixie Chicks song if it kicked me in the groin?

Plus the lead singer is too chunky for my tastes, not athletic enough.

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. |
