Dixie Chicks Tour Ticket Sales in the Tank

[Duff McCartney]

Look, the bottom line for me in all this is that if you're an entertainer, be it a musician or a Hollywood star, just shut up and ing entertain people. That's what you're getting paid to do.

When you start using your s om as a platform to try and project your political beliefs on others, you're playing with fire, and the Dixie Chunks got burned.

You've gotta be ing kidding me..if you can reach such a wide audience of people you are obligated to do it. Otherwise what good is it for?

It's not just hollywood or musicians that use their s om as a platform...rich companies use their money to have the politics of congress the way they want them.

Tax breaks, etc....

P.S. Country music sucks...all it does is take precious air space away from shock DJ's whose cruelty and profanity amuse us all.

I don't even know where to start with that.

They don't amuse me, but I respect your right to listen to whatever type of music you choose without insulting you about it or insulting the type of music you like. It's too bad everyone can't do that.

I like their music myself and most democrats that I know are just like Toby Keith. How do ya like me now!?

Shooting people on buses? WTF? Because I was wrong on DJ, that makes me a ? He was going to go to A&M but Rick Barnes promised him a starting spot (which isn't hard when 5 of your top 7 players leave), the guy wants to play one year and go pro. Texas is a better place for that one.

Price gouging? Sorry, don't even remember the conversation.

If I had a resume of misses as long as yours, I'd try to forget too.

Sorry Mel, any guy who likes the Dixie Chunks has to be gay. *shrugs* I guess it's okay for dems to throw around terms like , shrub, head, asshole, asshat, etc., but the moment one of us evil Republicans calls someone a , we're the name callers

Typical hypocrisy from the left, but what's new?

I don't like the Dixie Chicks, but it is interesting to learn that any guy who likes them must prefer sex with other men.

Since you think I'm on the left, and most forum leftists thing I'm on the right... it must mean I'm in the right place.

"If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right."

Musicians have been using their talent to express their views since the beginning of time.

I hate lobbying as much as the next person, but do you really think that spoiled Hollywood and Nashville prima donnas who grew up on a silver spoon are in any way equatable to successful multi-national, multi-billion dollar companies?

buti t only got worse after 9/11 with about 50 remakes of god bless america and every country musician on earth battling to be the most patriotic with thier uber patritic song proclaiming thier ultimate patriotism

oh god, that patriotism, and love of our country, ewwww HOW HORRIBLE!!!!



how pathetic.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

^^^^^^^^^

Right? The same people who are bashing musicians for patriotic are calling out anyone who makes fun of the Dixie Chunks, Michael Moore, etc.

Liberal Playbook 101: be a hypocrite.

Patriotism is bad. It's better to acquiesce to your enemies.

Oops, gotta go. It's prayer time. Where's my rug?

[Extra Stout]

Seriously, though, some of that over-the-top-yay-America country stuff that came out was so bad it made Bob Carlisle nauseous.

Between Johnny, Willie and Waylon which drug did they not abuse? I think hardly any of them lived anything approaching a lifestyle acceptable to the fundamentalist wing of the GOP.

So supporting Republicans is supporting America? How about supporting the "working man"? That's the most of those old country artists sang about. The working man going to work everyday and getting on by his Republican boss and then going home and having to pay his Republican banker before the asshole took his house. It's not like there weren't any leftward movements going on when those guys were at the top of their fame. Willie clearly broke from that. Johnny Cash sang about prison life a lot and went to a lot of them. How many of the WWJ&GWD? crowd are down with that? , dig up Cocaine Blues and listen to it. I feel an estate tax repeal coming on.

As much as the America First crowd likes to dump on "Hollywood" for blindly supporting the left in this country it seems odd that they would expect the same from performers of a certain musical genre.

you forgot about Rush. it takes a canadian band to write about the working man!
