the Dixie Chicks bite the dust

(3/13/03, 5 p.m. ET)
-- The Dixie Chicks are stirring up controversy with a recent negative comment about President Bush while overseas promoting their current album, Home.

The trio performed a live show in London on Monday (March 10th) night, and Natalie Maines (news) told the crowd, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas."

Bad mouthing the current President while on American soil is an American tradition, I bet we all have done it one time or another.

But while on foreign soil during a crisis? Poor judgement in my opinion.

They aren't even from "DIXIE" proper, and I bet Texans are more ashamed of the DC's than anything...

What's really bad?

The first few times I heard their name on the radio, I thought the DJ was saying "Ditsy Chicks"...

I thought of something far worse - and more fitting.

I hope Jane Fonda has a coupla spare rooms, for their sake.

Don't you boys from Texas let them plumb poor genes back into your state now - Y'hear?

And I as a southron flat disown them there!!!!

Alan, the title of this thread should have been:

But hey, I prefer the Go-Go's anyway. Now they are cleared for their comeback tour!

I say ban the (censored)-up Chicks from Walmart...

Chances are if we do that - they'll never come back here anyway.

It seems to be the thing to do these days for many actors and music people. Go over to Europe and bash the United States. And the European audiences eat it up and buy more tickets.

IMHO, the ditzy chicks couldn't give a poop about Iraq. They are just trying to cash in on anti-American sentiment. And that disgusts me.

In my opinion the DC's can go back to being waitresses at the Dixie Chicken Shack... the music they play should never be confused with country music. Real country music died in 1962, after having been mortally wounded ten years before. The crap they play these days on "country" radio stations makes me wanna puke. All in all I'm not terribly surprised that these "Ditzy Crossovers" are spewing the "Bad American President Takin' Us To War" spiel. But it's just like their music to me... I don't listen to that, either.

"Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas."
Sounds more like a burn on Texans than an anti-war statement to me. My guess is they'd have no problem with Bush if he was an Okie.

As for saying anything at all, they've got just as much right to use the stage to express their opinion as we all do to spout off on FTE (which is available to anyone in Britain). As for banning their music and boycotting them, (especially on a corporate level) well, do what you feel is right I guess, but it seems pretty hypocritical to defend your 2nd and 5th amendment rights, and punish them for exercising theirs.

I have never cared for their "music" anyway. I always thought that they couldn't carry a tune in a basket. Just 1 more reason to change the radio station.
