boinky 0 #1 June 8, 2006 It's been three years since the Dixie Chicks made an unpopular stand in London on President Bush and politics. The public dropped them like a hot potato. They are now attempting to change their style and make a comeback. They have a new album. If you are political, has enough time passed and enough water gone under the bridge that you would buy their music now or not?Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

Doesn't say much. Look at the number of people that think that the music on American Idol was any good. Its all prepackaged, industry written crap. OR its copied music and/or cover music from someone who is a true musician. The same people who think their music is good are probably the same people who don't know who Robert Johnson was or Bill Monroe. Inregards to their earlier music, they probably don't know who Earl Skaggs was either. All three of those musicians are responsible for having created an industry and a musical style/sound in which the Dixie Chicks have made their money. So they just digest the prepackaged crap music and thinks its new, innovative and it sounds good.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I like living here. I may not like every action of every president, but who does? As long as I choose to live in this country, I'll show respect for the Presidency. I'm from Texas, too, and I feel no shame. Reminds me of going to see John Mayer live a few years ago. Enjoyed the show until he wasted 20 minutes pacing back and forth on the stage, head down, talking in to the microphone with bass and drums in the back ground.. giving us all his political opinions. When I want to be preached to.. I'll go to church. When I want to listen to other's political opinions, I'll turn on CNN, FOX, MSNBC, or NPR. But do not expect me to pay for a concert ticket and then be forced to listen to some idiot entertainer's ideas on politics. Thats not what I'm paying for and they're not doing their job if I have to listen to it.
