unioncountyslayer Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Last night at the Grammy awards the Dixie Chicks won for "Song of the Year" and "Album of the Year". Are you kidding me, this was obviously political. I knew that they had a new album out, but hadn't even heard a single song on the radio. They don't play the Dixie Chicks around here anymore. I just thought it was interesting that they won these awards and radio is hardly playing their stuff. That's Hollywood for ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware Heard on the news last week that they were expected to win due to their political stances and due to the liberals who seem to support the same views. The dixie chicks around here on the country stations dont get any play time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware Award shows that are not based on album sales or some consumer-based criteria are a bunch of crap. Hollywood (AHEM!) Patting itself on the back, eh?, "Oh, we are so great!!" "HOOOOCK-PTOOEY!" HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware I think what you are seeing is a country fed up with this war and siding now with them. At the time the war just began and no one thought it would last this long. Now people are upset with President Bush and are starting to side with the Dixie Chicks.

unioncountyslayer Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware I think the people that are "siding" with them have sided with them all along, the Left-Coast bleeding heart liberals. Don't think they've regained much of their fan base back from their early years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware America didn't cast the vote here. Don't forget that. These awards are handed out by a bunch of Hollywood hot shots. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware They not only won the two mentioned here, they won for all five categories they were nominated in. Never met a dictator he didn't love or a Jew he did love Jimmy Carter was honored also. Draw your own conclusions. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman1977 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware The same non-patriotic trash that voted for those three, are the ones trying to get hunting, fishing, and trapping outlawed.....Why would anybody want people that think like them in the White house? 2008 is going to be a defining time for america Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmoss Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware I dont get it, why are so many US people upset with them when they really did not say anything more than I heard other US people saying against Bush and the war ?

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not upset with them, not at all, they have freedom of speech. But I choose not to listen to their music because of the idiotic comments made by them. They made their bed and now they have to lay in it. I just thought it was funny that hardly anyone listens to their music anymore, espcially country music fans, and they won these awards.

Plus, their continued making of songs about it, etc. I love their music and listen to their wide open spaces album a good bit. They were a tremendous talent, but I won't buy their stuff any longer.

stevebeilgard Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Re: Dixie Chicks take home hardware they are very good singers, who were very popular. then, they kicked their audience, the american redneck, right where it hunts. now, they are nothing. if the "honors" were handed out on record sales, they would be on the bottom of the barrel. but, it's all hollywood hype and politics that made them win. so, don't let it get you down. they are nothings today, and have even admitted that their sales are about 15% of what they used to be. boycotting the dixie chick sales is hurting them real bad, and this is just a lame attempt to get their followers to buy.... don't buy it.
