#1 " a pronouncement akin to a NASCAR driver dissing rednecks"

The "writer" seems to have a few issues....

Bigotted prick.

#3 "They can go to France."

Ouch!

As Frank Zappa said: "There is no Hell, there is only France."

#5 In my uncharitable moments I substitute our own BDS *bats for Paleos and other 'slamic zoomers - they lack that Cause -> Effect gene.

I especially love it when it hits them in the bank account. Hard.

"They can go the France."

LOL. Ouch!

#6 S. T. Karnick:

The one thing that all celebrities have in common—the only thing they all have in common, in fact—is that a very large number of people like them, often for no readily identifiable reasons... They don't understand how fragile likeability really is. Apparently they entirely forget the lessons about human fickleness they should have learned indelibly in high school...

For some obscure reason, the [Dixie Chicks'] fans decided they didn't want to support them any more and could do without their music... And the fact that instant wealth and worldwide celebrity tempted a young woman and her satellites to think that she was more than just a stupid singer had nothing to do with it.

Right.

#7 It's called sending a music act rocketing to the bottom.

Stay the course, oh Dixie Chicks...

#8 It's a quagmire, I tell ya, an unwinnable quagmire. Natalie Maines lied, their careers died.

#10 LOL #4!


Jeanine: Oh, no! I told them once, I told them a hundred times:
put "Spinal Tap" first and "Puppet show" last.
Derek: It's a morale builder, isn't it?
Jeanine: We've got a big dressing room, though.
David: What?
Jeanine: Got a big dressing room here...
David: Oh, we've got a bigger dressing room than the puppets?
Oh, that's refreshing..

#12 10,000 times $30/ticket = $300,000 per night. Cry me a river.

#13 Much less than that, Perfesser. This is one of their highest turnout stops....and it doesn't break down the number of comped tickets v. paid, either. Bet there's a substantial amount of the former.

#15 I dunno. Their actual singing might suffer in comparison to Sarah Maclachlan's.

The Dixie Chicks really screwed up: they pissed away a working relationship with the only demographic that was willing to tolerate their particular brand of off-key vocals _and_ STUPID enough to actually go down to the local Wal-Mart and shell out actual HARD-EARNED CURRENCY for a CD containing about an hour's music. Instead they're just going to suck up to the demographic group that thinks music is something you download for free from a warez site somewhere in Sweden.

#16 Sarah MacLachlan doesn't count. She about the only one at Lilith Fair that prefers men.
