Seems like their new album has, after only a few days being released, is number one on the billboard chart. Seems like their demise was somewhat overstated. I like it!!!<br /><br />It's a good album, btw, and I'm not even a big country fan.

Re: Dixie Chicks

I like 'em too, although I haven't heard any of this new release. I don't look to entertainers for political or moral guidance. I look to them to entertain. If I cared about their individual idiocy I wouldn't listen to the Beatles, watch a Barbra Streisand movie, watch Alec Baldwin anything (he sucks anyway), Woody Allen (I love his movies), Tom Cruise etc. etc. etc.<br /><br />There is not one thing about the lives of these people that makes them credible on important issues. Why in heck would I consider their opinions any more valid than a kindergartner's?

TREASON, by the American College Dictionary is an act of adhering to the ememies of this county or giving them aid or comfort. I rest my case

Re: Dixie Chicks

We are very forgiving people. If they keep their nose clean they will do OK. Although their demise was temporary it almost ruined them and certainly cost them a whole bunch of money.

But, but they are famous movie stars. We should all aspire to be just like them! Haven't you heard! After all, there are magazines and TV shows just to tell us what type of dress, tux, jewelry, etc. they wore to a "pad yourself on the back" award shows. People even call in (and pay money doing so) to vote for whose dress was the best for these stupid events.<br /><br />Sarcasm off. The focus on the entertainment industry is way, way overboard. I enjoy a couple of TV shows (Lost, The Office, Earl(?)), and enjoy movies but I don't really care what the actors/actresses name is, who they are married to (this week), and whether they wear boxers or briefs. <br /><br />I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and happened to pick up a magazine that just idolized famous people. It was pretty sad that so much info is collected and distributed on these people's daily lives.

Bought my last CD of theirs before the Mouth spouted off. Don't even know where that CD is anymore.<br />I don't feel the need to support their egos.

Re: Dixie Chicks

I got the copy of Time magazine with them on the cover....pitched the mag. Buddy said he cancelled his subsription...... I had always felt they made good music, but since the stunt 3 years ago and now the latest comments I have lost any respect I once had. Nothing but traitors.

Absolute freedom of speech is one of the core values of a free and democratic society, is it not why we as a nation go to the aid of the unfortunate peoples in other countries who cannot or have not the ability to let their cries be heard?

Re: Dixie Chicks

I guess you are allowed you opinion, as long as you agree with the masses. :rolleyes: <br />I don't agree with their stand, but, isn't that what we, as a country, fought so hard to ensure?<br />Just because they disagree with GW, I wouldn't exactly call them "traitors".
