#4 lol, Besoeker! I can't fathom a tour t-shirt more worthy of burning. I guess most fans (much less, hardcore country fans) would rather go see Toby Keith now, eh? Reality sux, doesn't it, Natalie? Here's my prediction that they'll be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year.

#5 I love how they spin it. One of the biggest country acts of all time has to ~~cancel~~ push back their Nashville tour date because of shitty ticket sales. I was surprised it was the same in L.A. They should revoke their citizenship and just ask the canadian government to take them in as it seems the only concerts they can sell out are north of the border. What you reap so shall you sew as they say.

#6 Cause, meet effect.

Still something liberals don't get.

#7 Funny how right next to this post are Google ads for Dixie chick tickets. No sales expected from this web site.

#9 Cause, meet effect.

Still something liberals don't get.

Which is why so many identify themselves with the Paleos.

#10 Tough to reinvent yourself as a blue-state pop/rock group if your name is the Dixie Chicks...somewhat of a cognitive dissonance. Like Mecca Jews - my new klezmer band :-)

#11 It seems their audience is becoming 'more selective'...

#12 They should re-brand themselves the Canuck Chicks and bill their tour "Heads up our backsides in '06"...

These imbeciles certainly know how to take the "O" out of Country...

#13 #2 Pyongyang, you say? Maybe we'll get lucky and Kimmy will kidnap and keep Natalie.

#16 As much as I like schadenfreude, their current album is selling relatively well - relative to other current albums, I don't know how it compares to their own albums.

Looks like they won't be needing to apply to McDonalds any time soon - too bad.

#17 They "messed with Texas" in the middle of a Texan-led fight to save Texas, America + World. Of course you know their PC/political advisor(s) needs to be hanged, and hanged high, from the nearest Texas oak.
