Chook Me!

What is the difference between the Dixie Chicks and Etta James?

James: "He aint my President." Chicks:"We're ashamed hes from Texas" Will James receive the same amount of flack the Chicks did? http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

Public Comments

1. probably
2. James: speaks from the truth, her heart chicks: dumb airheads with liberal political leanings!
3. No. I think the Chicks were being provocative. They didn't have their song used by somebody else to make a point.
4. Hell, Etta won't get flack from me. I agree with her comments.
5. May be Maybe not ... i hope not.
6. James made her comment to fellow Americans. Dixie Chicks said it to a bunch of Europeans. Etta James is not likely to retract her statement. Dixie Chicks apologized when they saw their cd sales & concert tickets plummeting. I would've had more respect for them if they stuck by their statement.
7. The difference is, Etta James has been around much longer which makes her much wiser and in tune with life in America. And the second reason is, Etta has been a favorite singer of mine for many years. I am a white boy from the South who thinks the Dixie Chicks stink!
8. Etta James was insulted that her song was used in such a way. I would be, too, if I was her. She IS the best, after all.
9. Etta James is going to get a lot of flack. The media is even more frenzied than it was just a few years ago. It will be run into the ground. Already her manager/publicist (son) is saying it ain't so... She's been in the public eye long enough to know about the fishbowl of fame... And so it begins....
10. Class.
11. ETTA JAMES DOESN'T CARE... She's already in every music Hall of Fame and has been through so much she'd probably smack Obama in the mouth and pull out Beyonce's weave.
