Let them eat Asparagus Tempura
It sure won’t be crow. Or corn pudding. Or fried chicken. Or corn dodgers. Or crawfish etouffee. Or garlic cheese grits. Or biscuits and gravy. Or turnip greens .
To hell with the Dixie Chicks. Their southern accents are the only trace of Dixie left in them. If the Chicks couldn’t sell enough concert tickets in Houston, Indianapolis and Oklahoma City they will have to seek out other fans because they’ve lost their original base…
It doesn’t matter anymore, anyway. I never liked the Dixie Chicks that much and only bought one of their CDs. I don’t even know where it is. Maybe it’s in the shed or the box on the shelf in the closet. Maybe I left it in the car I traded in or possibly it went in the garage sale last summer. That must be it. I probably put it in the box with items for a nickle.
This article actually claims that Natalie Maines has sculpted cheekbones. That is really the only thing in the article that made me crack a smile.
It also has some choice overwrought Chick quotes……..
“The reaction was as if Natalie had said ‘Death to the President’ or something,” says violinist and vocalist Maguire.
“It was the bullying and the scare factor,” shudders banjo and guitar player Robison. “It was like the McCarthy days, and it was almost like the country was unrecognisable.”
I think I’m going to cry………/not.
Oh, here’s more…..
The Chicks can’t hide their disgust at the lack of support they received from other country performers. “A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what we stood for because that was promoting their career, which was a horrible thing to do,” says Robison.
“A lot of pandering started going on, and you’d see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism.”
“The entire country may disagree with me, but I don’t understand the necessity for patriotism,” Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. “Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don’t see why people care about patriotism.”
Nope. Don’t think I’m going to buy Dixie Chicks music. They are over.
Oh, (smile on my face) Michelle really nails them.

I loathe the idiots. They have no clue and no one seems able to explain to them why waht they keep saying is so wrong!
"Don't say anything against me! I'm a Liberal! I'm above reproach!"

Hey "benning says" -
You're right on there. Funny how people claim a right to "free speech" whenever they have something to say that others don't agree with. "Free speech" does not equal "free ride"! If you're going to run your mouth, you should have the intestinal fortitude to prepare for the backlash...which is also "free speech". Americans are speeking with their wallets, which explains why the "chicks" couldn't get passed No.34 on the charts.
