#2 The Dixie Chicks on Friday released their double CD set and DVD.

Need I say more about negative publicity?

#4 Natalie Maines: âPeople were misledâ

Calling yourself a country music artist and peddling your wares to an audience that largely doesn't share the same values?

Yeah, that could be considered misleading...

#5 Listening to Natalie Maines makes me ashamed to admit I've ever visited Lubbock or listened to 'country' music.

#6 Understandably Natalie isn't worried about the negative publicity. She still has a right to return to her former job at the truck stop on I-35.

#8 And we should care about her mouthings why, exactly?

#9 Steve White

I don't know enough about Nathalie Maines but I can only think about two jobs at a truck stop: waitress in a bar or whoring. Which one did she exert?

#10 Natalie needs to learn that just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's wrong. Or just because you don't like someone doesn't make them wrong either. It's those pesky things called "truths" and "facts" that always seem to confound folks like her, and get in the way of them having any kind of substantial opinion.

#11 Katze, I live in Lubbock, I host a weekly radio show on an all-news station here, and I can assure you that the Vichy chicks do not represent this community.
The first time I used this term "Vichy Chicks" on the air, btw, I had to explain the reference and also mentioned that the owners of our station were exercising their Constitutional rights by refusing to play the Chicks' music on their C&W stations.
One of our 10 or 12 local LLL moonbats (a *spit* mass-com major *spit*) called in at that point and demanded that the station owners and I be jailed for violating the Chicks' right of free expression.
She could not explain exactly which part of the Constitution guaranteed the right to the forum of one's choice or immunity to criticism, let alone the right to be taken sersiously, but she was sure that we were evil fascists.
She would get her wish, of course, if this gang of LLL-conformist media professionals got its wish and managed to gain absolute power over the ownership and content of media.

#12 I think she's trying to prove that by having a political stance she has balls.

Y'know - chickswithdix.

#13 I said it when you shot your mouth off before and I will say it again: The term 'Love your Country' has a double meaning with country music fans, Nat.

And you are right, Nat. People had been mislead for eight soilid years as Clinton got his knob polished and his political buddies disregarded the Al Qaeda threat.

#14 AC, that was a take off on Dippsie's being ashamed of being from Texas. My sister lives in Lubbock and I love the place. I'll be back and will tune in a CW station. I hope that LLL Moon bat was on the air when you revealed that she had more mouth than brains.
