Well, they can't make any money off their music anymore, so they'll try their hand in the movies where the bleeding heart liberals will throw their money away to watch it. I just wish they'd go away and shut up!

Re: OMG! They got a movie deal!!

Yeah, to heck with free speach anyhow!

I want this country to turn into a dictatorship or even an absolute monarchy. Heck why not pure Marxism?

The evening news bash our president all the time or should I really say particular broadcast people do but do we not watch the rest of the news that night or ever again.

I'm not a great fan of the Chicks but we are surrounded by people of fame every day opening their traps. Get used to it. I guess...

I actually agree. When Natalie opened her mouth it made me mad but she wasnt doing anything that Democrats werent doing on a daily basis!

Even today you hear so many people talking about our President and they are catching little to no flack. Yet bring up the Dixie Chicks and people are ready to burn them at the stake!

Personally I loved their music before hand. I was very aggravated when Natalie opened her mouth but at the end of the day that is her decision and she has the right to make it. These girls actually had death threats.... Death Threats! I thought this was America and people are threatening these girls to the tune of "Good!"

If I listened or watched anything based on the political views of the members I would basically have to turn off the TV and Radio! It just happens that they (collectively) opened their mouth when GW was at a high rating and everyone was behind him. Now days you can have some Fruity Celeb stand up and slam him and Thieu movies still rank in the millions.

I dont get it...... Btw, I am a Die-hard Republican. I like our President far more then what he was up against in his last election While I dont think he is our best ever he certainly isnt our worst. I think the move over seas was warranted and just.

And with that in mind if people are going to basically Hate someone for their views you better turn off the TV, Radio, Internet, etc because this world, this country is full of people who dont think like you....

just my $.02.

I hated to see that they did this....I still listen to their debut CD and love it. But I will not buy any more.

Dissention among patriots and citizens is expected and protected.....heck when Clinton was in office, I am sure I muttered worse.

I think for most people, and certainly for me, it wasn't that they dissed the President. Like you said most people are, have, or will. However, I think it was the setting (overseas) and the way they did it. I came off as much as America bashing as it was Bush bashing.

Too bad, they were an unusually GREAT talent.

I agree to disagree... wink.gifgrin.gif

I honestly think it had nothing to do with where she was at. It did come off as very anti-American but it was very much published out of context. She was ashamed of the president (according to the little rant).

I honestly think she would have said that anywhere. She was caught up in the moment and was feeding the crowd. Was it stupid? Yes. Did I agree with her? No. Is it possible she just made a mistake? Yes.

I very much could imagine that easily falling out of someones mouth when they are standing in front of 20,000 screaming fans. Not necessarily what she said but something to pump up the crowd? Sure. Why do you think Hank Williams JR is so big? He cusses like a Sailor. At a concert his behavior roars the crowd but have him start standing on street corners doing that in rural America and he will quickly be labeled as obscene.

Again, I think it was a heat of the moment deal. She didn't completely wreck their career either. They still have a band of followers and are gaining back their popularity daily. Natalie admitted she didn't even remember what she said which is more proof that it was a shot to fire up the crowd. I honestly believe she would have said it in NY if that would have gotten the same effect.

Their sales are back on the increase. Their last album didn't sink like everyone expected. They are no where near the group (in terms of popularity) that they once were but Dont count them out. Ticket sales are slowly increasing and so are CD sales.

As far as Im concerned she opened her mouth and she learned a lot from it. She can say she would do it all over again but in reality I bet she would change things if she could.

Well, they aren't anywhere near close to what they were....in fact, they had to cancel and consolidate many of their previous tour dates in the latest concert tour.

I could buy the heat of the moment deal if 1) she didn't come back and resurrect the issue many times over, 2) Start fighting with Toby Keith over the issue, 3) apologize, 4) take back the apology, 5) say that country music fans are all backward redneck hicks, 6) say other blatent anti-Bush and IMHO anti-US things, lastly 7) write a song basically giving everyone the finger.

Had she came back and apologized or even not apologized and let everything die down, they would still be playing on Country radio and selling millions of albums a year.

Not now. Not to Country fans and the rock fans didn't hord to them like they expected either.

I really doubt that. They were on the boycott list the next day, literally. Natalie was grasping at straws trying to beat the deal. Thats where all of her after wards stupidity came from.

Im not defending her, what she did was WAY stupid but I can see how and where it happened. What really cracks me up is the number of Celebs that are now professing the same thing today with no recourse. Bush's numbers have taken a nose dive and you know how sheep are.....

I just don't see how anyone cares what celebs think.

Brad Pitt said it best when he said "I am an actor, who cares what I think?" when asked about the war.

For me, what sealed it is when Natalee came out and blasted the Country music fans....the same fans that made them rich.

Make no mistakes about it, that mouth of hers earned them a fortune and lost them multiple fortunes from what I am hearing. The tale is not over either.

Rock is not their genre and hating Bush hasn't been enough to endeer them to the rock crowd. They are still singing basically the same music with perhaps some instrument changes and it isn't flying in the rock crowd.
