Whoo Hoo for those Chicks! Congrats!

I was happy to see the Dixie Chicks may be in line for the prestigious honor, Album of the Year. I am passionate about preserving the Chick's freedom, as well as seeing them move on to bigger and better.
I am still furious that my local radio stations still continue to band them, But you can't keep me from buying their CD's...I just unplugged your stations and slapped in my CD...I banned you!
I think Natalie said it best when she came to my town...walked on stage to a sell out crowd...quiet in the house as her big eyes grew wide...she was really nervous...It was tense...She looked around and simply said..."...and they said you wouldn't come..."
Like Clear Channel could keep that from happening! You took the long way Chicks...Glad you're home!

Sorry, but I've never been able to identify people by their weight or size...Natalie is the lead singer...sassy mouth one!

My motto: shut up and sing. Laura Ingraham stole it from me.

Kinda like "shut up and write?" uh...nope

robeiae said:

I'm good with that, too. Why do you think I wouldn't be?

oh Rob, I don't know, I guess I'm not fond of anyone telling someone to shut up and do anything...


morn Alia, thanks kiddo

Wow did I just write that sentence, I need some more caffeine...ummm or maybe a li'' less

robeiae said:

Well, I meant it in the nicest way...

I'm not fond of people who love cheap shots. Dissent is fine. But bring something to the table.

But I think the banning stuff is just as dumb. Actually, worse than dumb. So I'm cool if they win. Until Maines accepts the award, I bet...

Er, Rob, kinda like the ol' grade school thingy when the other kid stands up and says, "just kidding?" for defense.

robeiae said:

No, I wasn't kidding. I'd rather people stick to what they know. But it's my choice to feel that way. And it's someone else's choice to play the fool.

I get that you're a fan. I'm a fan of Barbara Streisand. Really. But I think she's an @ss.

On the flip side, there's Bono. I don't always agree with him. But he knows what he's talking about...

"Music can change the world because it can change people."

Shut-up and sing.

Thank you for sharing your feelings Rob. You certainly are entiltled. As were the Chicks.
Yes a fan and a champion of these girls. It's been a long time coming...so now its, Praise The Lord and Pass the Ammunition...
They did their time out, made their babies, and grew in the process. Just made them stronger.

Barbara?
Bono..dunno... but my teens a fan!

If everyone is shutting up, then who gets to speak on any topic?

Exactly Tour!

There's flapping your gums just for the hell of it. Actually, because you've got the stage, per se. And then there's taking a stand and following it through with an action. If I were to draw a direct comparison between the Chicks and Bono, the Chicks do the former and Bono does the latter.

I have tremendous respect for Bono; he's a true ambassador and utilizes his celebrity with class and dignity.

thank you Jean-Marie, hope all is well with you.

I feel a big difference was due to lack of maturity, or naive on Natalies part...I truely believed she just said what many others felt. I admire her spirit...

natalie maines makes gandhi, MLK and jesus christ look like the three stooges.

she should have a national holiday named after her and anyone speaking out against her should be flogged.

Yep, in agreement Haskins, but not about Jesus, and as I warned earlier, Im quite passionate about the treatment of these Chicks.
Still mad as **ll.

I think if they eliminated "Dixie" from their name, they'd enjoy unprecedented national exaltation and all the fawning they could endure without becoming dripping wet in spit.

Thats it? ....well, slap my knee and smack my Grandpa....so simple, wonder why they didn't figure that one out?
