Chook Me!

What do you think of the Dixie Chicks now that the smoke has cleared?

If you'd been asked this 3 years ago, would your answer have been the same? Cherry, no that isn't why. Barbara is friends with the Clintons, a die hard leftist liberal if ever there was one. Her fan base is the same, so her antics come as no surprise to her followers or anyone else. The DC on the hand inflamed the majority of their fan base with their outspoken views against Bush. Agreed, it wasn't a smart move. I think their music is wonderful and Travelin' Soldier is one of my favorite songs, completely aside from politics. It rings true and blue for soldiers in Iraq and the melancholy ghosts of Vietnam, both the beloved departed and the living, who remember all to well that they fought for and returned to a country that didn't want them. I have prayed that Iraq would not become another Nam, but Dems will have it no other way it would seem.

1. They've always sucked. That whole Bush thing was another performer trying to make some money because they sucked in the first place... Whatever it takes girls, whatever it takes!
2. um ... they are probably still fat and still ugly.
3. I don't see what the big deal is.....they just voiced their opinions...............get over it
4. Liked them before - Love them now.
5. I still hate there music. Actually, I have never liked their music. WTF do they have to with the military?? They are singers.
6. I still can't stand them - never have. They're nothing but unpatriotic, liberal nutjobs!
7. I'm ashamed I ever bought any of their music! I still don't like'em and I never will again! matter a fact I'm ashamed she is from the US!
8. A bunch of has-beens trying to extend a dead career through political controversy. Same as 3 yrs. ago.
9. I listen to country but I have never liked them. I will admit they are talented musicians but they waste their talent. Most of their songs aren't very good and I think they were/are overrated.
10. I never liked the dixie chicks music, but I gained a whole lot of respect for them when they spoke their mind in an unpopular way. They were brave to do so, and their sales suffered because of it. Most country music lovers vote republiucan (often because their preacher tells them to) It is easy to say what everyone else wants you to, and even if you don't like what they said, you MUST admit that they were brave for saying it.
11. Sorry, no change. I still don't like them or their music....& hate them bad-mouthing our country, our soldiers, and our President! GOD BLESS THE USA!!
12. They still suck. Hank Williams is King.
13. They are traitors to this country and should be in jail. A lot of musical talent, but no brains at all. Poor things. I for one will never buy anything connected with them and I will buy nothing produced by their record label either.
14. I think they have taken a turn to a far-left position and have changed their performances to reflect that. By doing so, they have alienated a large portion of their former fanbase and now their sales are dramatically lower. You have to accept the consequences of free speech.
15. I'm not sure what your question is. I'm drunk right now. All I know is the Dixie Chicks did an awesome cover of "Landslide". And Natalie is soooo hot!!!! Again, I'm drunk.
16. They SUCK!!!! They have ALWAYS sucked!!!! And, i have NEVER liked them and never will!!!! I don't care WHAT their view is on the President or anything ELSE!!! You don't get on stage and RANT about your President or anyone else!! They had NO right going to another country and making FOOLS of themselves by showing DISRESPECT for the leader of this country!!!! They made THEMSELVES look like IDIOTS,and it was an INSULT to this country and to every American!!!
17. I didn't care for them until Natalie Maines replaced Laura Lynch.
18. They are without question the dumbest performers ever. Let me explain. They are country music singers meaning they were huge in the south particularly in Texas their home state. In their genius they decide it is a good idea to insult the president who is popular with Southerns who like country music and is popular in Texas. In essence they called all of their fans idiots. Not smart if you are in a business trying to sell records to those fans.
19. They got twice the sh it kicking that Barbra Streisand got, and Barbra had props and skits in her show belittling Bush and his policies. No one made that big of a deal of her rant as the Chicks and their two cents, is that because they were ahead of the times and knew Bush was an idiot years ago and now when someone (Barbra) makes it an issue they consensus is there so its not a hot topic.
20. i did like their music before they made complete ass of themselves after that i don't like them and yes that goes for 3 years ago to
21. i is a bush supota ayd i doat liyk them vere much cus thay toad tha trooth bout r prezeedent thay shud just b kwiat and laet r prezeeedent daystroy r kuntry whiith his lys an thayn thay weel b good amerkans lyke me
22. I never understood the big deal about what the one girl said about Bush. Have we given up freedom of speech. Besides, what the Democrats have been saying about the President for the last eight years, has been far worse. Calling him a liar, comparing him to Hitler and accusing him of everything that has gone wrong in this country for the last 20 years. This from our top Democratic law makers is far worse than what that Dixie Chick said.
23. I live in the Houston area. From what I see the smoke has NOT cleared. The radio station do not play their music! The Dixie Chicks drove themselves in the dirt. Could be a misfortuate case of "wrong place at the wrong time" but you know what? They should have kept their mouths shut! Hindsight is 20/20 and now, looking back MAYBE we should not have gone to war (I'll leave my opinion out on this - please insert your own), but I can bet there aren't very many people who will stand up on a stage in a foreign country and bad mouth the US. If you do, you don't deserve to be welcomed back with open arms. My copy of the one CD I had from them was sent to the local radio station to have it demolished (with millions of others) by a wrecking ball. I have not and will not ever buy their music again!!
