Thank you this statement almost makes up for you being an Arby's fan. Why people keep debating this is bizarre. The obvoius answer is every country music song ever recorded or that ever will be recorded sucks.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. I would definitely classify Alt-Country as more Alt than Country. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

For a great alt-country band check out Lucero. Was that already mentioned? I went to the last page on this thread rather than reading pages 2 and 3.

If you like the Eagles...you like country. Plain and simple.

Are the BoDeans considered country or alternative country? Anyone know?

Come on Live. I know that growing up in Heber, you were force fed country music, and it probably brings up painful images of mullets, naked-lady mudflaps, shitkickers, and wrangler butts, but it's time to move on, to let the healing begin. It's ok to like country again. Besides, country's not just achy breaky boot scootin boogie. Ya gotta like or at least appreciate bluegrass - it's just amazing music. Even liberal hippies like it now (wait, maybe that doesn't help).

I heard on the radio this morning that they had to cancel their Memphis show(only 9k tickets sold) and it looks like they might have to cancel 4 more.

DixieChunks canceling for lack of interest? Thanks for cheering me up.

Hoya wanted something molly mormon of me. Their lack of interest is a good sign.

Just finished reading the Times article about the Dixie Chicks. I have to say I was pretty impressed. Whether you agree with them or not, it takes a lot of balls to say that they aren't going to lie about their political beliefs in order to sell more records to the mainstream country music crowd. What's not to like about this? Standing up for principle. Not caving to commercial pressure. Giving Nashville the finger. It's all good. Bravo, girls. Way to go.

I read that article too and I'm not sure it is a matter of standing up for ones political beliefs, or painting onesself into a corner and not being willing to say that what you did was a mistake. Do I think it is wrong to trash your previous fan base? Uh, yeah I do. However, they're playing now to the anti-bush crowd...which probably is greater in number than the country music fan base.

So, In a way, they are still using thier "politics" (which, from the article I gathered meant reading the newspaper) to sell records.
