Dixie Chicks ruffle more feathers

“Dixie Chicks ruffle more feathers
Gotta wonder about how smart that Maines woman is.
Does she not care what her fan base thinks of her?”

“Man. Country music fans are stupider than I thought!”

“Sounds like that dude started it, what with showing a picture of her with Sadman Hussein at his concerts.”

“I thought I heard they sold out their tour. Is that true? I don't think their true fans care”

“Toby Keith's a moron and I hate his Ford commercials.”

“The tour sold out before the moronic comments were made.”

“They say that any publicity is good publicity and I think Keith and the Dixie Chicks are making big bucks on these little stunts! Streamweaver”

“So the DC get bashed for saying what's on her mind (all be it ever so small) but they jump on Toby Kieth for saying what's on his? We have a word for people like that...dumb kunt.

She has every right to say what she wants but she has to realize WHO she’s saying it to. She may as well run through a trailer park yelling “Walmart SUCKS!!“. If it wasn’t for the two pretty ones she’d be working at some Lane Bryant in Nashville.”

“There was an article in the local paper that told what F.U.T.K meant and it isn't what everyone is making it out to be. I will see if I can find it.”

“

WTQR Greensboro, North Carolina, PD Bill Dotson says. "This is giving country music a black eye."

Just letting them sing gives country music a black eye! All they do is make noise. With more than 30 GB's of music on my computer, their group is probably the only one for which I deleted every song.”

“I'm actually enjoying this public battle. I don't really care what either side says or does but it sure is entertaining.”

“I'm with mediaman, I'm laughing from the sidelines.
That is one very rich dumb chick.”

“Their publicist says it's Freedom Understanding Tolerance Knowledge.


riiiiight.”

“Mhhhhh...
I red the story. I am verry sawry that them girlys aint got no stinky butts.

Mebbe they culd doodoo or whatnever and get a stinky butt.

Or mebbe thay culd roll aroun on mewl doodoos and get stinky. That is what Gissmo my hubsand dose when he wants me to be verry prowd of him and say "I luv you Gissmo".

Do yall got the nother leenk about stinky butts?”

“Toby Keith is a much better song writer than Maines. Better looking too.”

“So he's your type?”

“The funny thing is…I think they were treated unfairly for what she said about Bush. What she said about Toby is what pissed me off. It’s songs like his that make everyone think country music is full of red necks and hicks? Don’t the Dixie Chicks have a song called “Earl Had to Die”? Don’t they have one called “Redneck Wedding”? WTF? I personally feel there aren’t ENOUGH red necks in country music. It’s the people like Shinai Twat (A frickin’ CANADIAN!) and the other cross-over pop country hacks that are making country music suck so bad.

BTW- do a search for MP3s of Toby Kieth doing “The Taliban” and “I’ll Never Smoke Weed With Willy Again”. Funny as all get out.”

“White Trash Wedding, Nigal. And they played it last night at their concert in Motown, and it was awesome. I was there (obviously). They were great in concert.

I have to disagree w/ NS that all they do is make noise. They have incredible harmonies, and all three are very talented musically - they each play several different instruments. Natalie has a beautiful voice, and even though her hairstyle last night (mohawk type thing, really, really strange) scared me every time they put her up on the big screen, I truly enjoy listening to them.

I honestly could care less about what Natalie or any other Chick had to say. I'm not a country fan at all, but just really enjoy their music, and wouldn't have gone to the concert w/o the free box tickets I got. She made a few comments last night about what they call the "incident" and how she has a mouth bigger than any cork to stick in it.

So, bash their political views and big mouths all you want, but don't tread on their talents.”

“BTW, they were all wearing leather and chains last night. They're kinda weird like that, with the way they dress and especially that Natalie with her crazy hair! Truly, it was scary last night!”

“The term 'country music' is an oxymoron.”

“It is obvious that many people like them. The main thing that will turn me off on music is screaming. To me screaming is not singing. I only had about a dozen of their songs. No doubt some of their music must be good to justify their popularity.

We all have our individual tastes and likes. So naturally, my comments are based on my own taste. But interesting, some music that I did not expect to keep at first is 21 numbers by the Styx. I still listen to them occasionally.

Or perhaps from the word Dixie in their title, I was looking for some dixieland like:

• Louie Armstrong and the Dukes of Dixieland playing Dixie
  
• Harry Connick, Jr. playing Sweet Georgia Brown
  
• Carter Family with Little Log Hut In The Lane
  
• Joan Betz singing The Night They Old Dixie
  

In County Music I have over 90 selections, all of which I place way above the Dixie Chicks. In my Jazz, Dixieland, Rag folder I have 287 songs.”

“LOL @ Binks.
And just what is your affiliation with this website? Is it pack of backpackingdeals? ;)”

“pack=part”

“LEGALIZE BLUEGRASS!

Radio stations just won't play the real stuff.”

“Toby Keith is really milkin' the patriotic schtick.

What aero said......"moron"

Go Dixie Chicks(I couldn't name one of their songs...or Tubby Keith's either)”

“Toby is one rough tough cowboy.

But I think the Dixie Chicks all together could woop his a$$.”

“Rough and tough or just over-stuffed=8]”

“If FUTK stands for what people are saying it does, then it was a dumb move - esp. at an awards show celebrating the industry. Maybe at a Chix concert.

It's weird that it should cause such a huge stink tho.”

“That bunch could really make some money if they had a celebrity mud rasslin' match.......Tubby Keith versus The Chicks!”

“"Harry Connick, Jr. playing Sweet Georgia Brown"

Nowslimmer, I love Harry! He's right up there with the Chairman of the Board imho.”

“Tom, so anyone who is patriotic is a moron and people that whine and #&%!$ are brainiacs?”

“Nigal -Just checked. I have 24 songs by him.”

“once again, bacpac, your distortion and over-simplification of other ppls words are amazing. no one ever said being patriotic is moronic. toby keith just happens to be both.

let me clarify. you can be patriotic and not moronic. you can be moronic, but not patriotic. you can be moronic AND patriotic (toby keith), or you can be neither patriotic nor moronic. ya follow me?”

“maines could have shown herself the better person and not retaliated. i dont have a problem with the statements she was trying to make. im not so sure about the when and the where. but, hey, its her life. and tk cant say he didnt deserve it.”

“I must have missed something along the way, but what exactly are "they"(They!?! who the hell is THEY!?!) saying FUTK stands for.”

“hey everyone, im selling tshirts to commemorate(sp?) this historic battle! please see the FUTT thread”

“I think you could teach 'em a thing or three. Maybe your husband will buy you tickets so you can go see them and show them what you nose.”

“Tom T, the dixie chickens would win hands down. All they would have to do is have one standing there topless, and the other two could sneak in for the takedown. Would get me,, err,, him every time.”

“2scoops, if you recheck tom's post you will see he admits to having no knowledge of either Toby or the Dixie Chicks. He was basing his view purely on the fact that Toby has a patriotic song and the DC are the rebels.”

“Howitzer - check out the story linked to the first post.”

“It's funny watching people try to "out-patriot" each other, but it's sad that they feel they have to.

It reminds me of the people with the flags on their cars. There was always Some Guy who had to have The Biggest Flag or The Most Flags on his car or truck.”

“Yeah and then they let them hang on their car till they're completely tattered and faded. Boy, that's one respectful patriot.”

“Yep. Pretty strange.”

“o gee im sorry, nige, i didnt realize you were a mindreader.

here, let me take my turn at being a mindreader. i think the inference is that toby keith is a moron for 1. his simplistic world view 2. writing neanderthal level lyrics: "we're gonna kick your asses" or whatever from "the angry american" 3. for resorting to childish pranks like the showing photos of maines and hussein together at his concerts. of course, thats just aeros and toms opinion they could be wrong. am i right guys?

sorry that doesnt fit with the format of villifying the left, because we know theyre all a bunch of america-hating pansies, but what can i say, i have a brain”

“i think what offends me most about bacpacs comment is that what he is really insinuating (of course, i could be wrong. im not a mindreader, after all) is that anyone who thinks toby is a moron is unpatriotic. now not only can we not criticize our president, but we cant criticize toby keith. whatf-ckingever”

“its very easy to be patriotic in the wake of 9/11. therefore, tk hasnt done anything to earn my respect. hes just playin to the crowd, preachin to the choir. i dont agree with what maines did initially (bashing her own head of state in front of a foreign crowd), but it takes more balls to make an unpopular statement that you believe in than to make exacerbated patriotic sentiments to a bunch of already frothing at the mouth flagwavers.”

“Bacpac has a somewhat narrow view of what it means to be an American. It could probably pass through the eye of a needle with room to spare.

I sometimes wonder if bacpac actually thinks he's the ONLY "true American".

That's the line he trolls with.”

“Steve McQueen was the one true American.”

“Dem Dixie B!tchez is cute!”
