Now we get to hear how the Dixie Chicks are validated in their hatred for President Bush because they won some awards last night.
The Dixie Chicks, who stirred up a hornet’s nest with a jibe at President Bush, won all five Grammys for which they were nominated on Sunday, including the coveted album of the year.
The victory marked a stunning validation for the female country music trio from Texas, almost four years after their dream run as the darlings of Nashville came to an abrupt end.
Yeah, they’ve validated that a group can see their fan base all but disappear with concerts cancelled for lack of interest and still gain industry recognition for purely political purposes. In the words of American Idol’s Randy Jackson, “Welcome to Hollywood, baby!”
“I think people are using their freedom of speech tonight with all of these awards,” Maines said.
By “people”, of course, she means the record excutives who nominated them and the Recording Academy members who voted for them.
Yes, the Hollywood elite are certainly using their freedom of speech… to push their political agenda through some halfwit entertainers.
UPDATE:
I will be on the BBC radio show called “World Have Your Say” between 12:30 PM - 1:00 PM Central time today. Click here to listen live.
UPDATE 2:
Many are emailing me asking how I can claim the Dixie Chicks aren’t as successful as they’re appearing to be. Here are some numbers to ponder:
Their cd “Wide Open Spaces” was released on January 27, 1998. It sold 12 million units and was certified RIAA Diamond.
Their cd “Fly” was released on August 31, 1999. It sold 10 million units and was certified RIAA Diamond.
Their latest cd, “Taking the Long Way” was released on May 23, 2006 and sold 1 million units in the first four weeks… but has only managed approximately 1 million since.
In 2000, their “Fly Tour” went to 90 cities with an average attendance of 12,000 per show and grossed over $46 million in ticket sales.
On March 7, 2003, they sold a record 867,000 tickets in a day and earned $62 million on tour, making it the top grossing country tour of the year.
But after March 10, 2003 (they had already sold out virtually every show of their 2003 world tour), when Natalie Maines told the London concert audience, “Just so you know, we’re ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas”, their cd sales plummeted and in 2006, their tour had to cancel multiple dates because of a lack of ticket sales.

Weep on, right-wingers. And take your president’s 30+/- approval rating with you. I hate country music–all your right-wing idiots. But the Dixie Chicks winning–that’s just too cool. Oh, yeah, there fan base is totally gone; their latest album only sold over 1.9 million and watch sales increase now that they won 5 Grammys. Toby Keith, bite yourself.

Oh no! Why, at that rate, Bush’s 2008 re-election bid is sure to be doomed! LOL!

Their concerts were getting canceled left and right due to anemic ticket sales. But get some leftard Hollyweird types to give them props, and those concert tickets will all of a sudden start selling like hotcakes? Sure, pal.
Dumbass.
Comment by crushliberalism — 8:43 am
By the way, the DC’s award winning album is 3rd best-selling on Amazon’s music list. Since I know you are such a stickler for accuracy, you might want to correct your assertion that their fan base has “all but disappeared.” But then, ala Fox News, when have right-wingers ever been interested in facts?

This is a great story. Band dumps trailer trash audience in favor of a fan base that actually thinks that it is wrong to get married to one of your siblings (and no it doesn’t make it OK if that sibling is also your parent). The trailer trash crowd is left with a bunch of whimpering lap dogs (aka Country Music Artists) who toe the party line, tell them what they want to hear, and bore everyone else to tears. Way to go Dixie Chicks !
Comment by southaustin — 9:07 am
Ah, the self-fulfilling prophecy of industry self-promotion. Create the story, then hype the story, then report the story… Then celebrate the story. I wonder how many of the 1.9 million the record label purchased themselves to make this story exist.

Bob Burg,
YOU are the epitome of an uninformed smart ass Lefty troll.
The last 2 Dixie Chick’s albums sold over 25 million records.
1.9 million is “keeping their fans”. Not it’s not. The majority of those sales went mindless lefty trolls making a “political” statement by buying music they don’t even like.
I would at least be able to respect Natalie Maines if she had some guts, but she’s a chicken shit coward for running out and faux “apologizing” when the Bush thing hit the fan.
She then became a pompous ass and began insulting her fan base and then said “I take back my apology I didn’t mean it.” So she is a liar, too.
On top of that they “were” the #1 touring group in America. Not anymore.
The majority of Americans have had enough with their self indulgent crap and political statements.

You DO realize that Bill Clinton is a Southerner and a country music fan, right? So Hillary is his sister?? Damn, I learn something new every day.
Dumb ass.

Love all your senses of humor.
Find a “country music” album on Amazon that is outselling the DC’s latest. Hard to do when it is #3 in ALL albums.
Majority of Americans sick of them? When Bush’s rating is under 40 percent? Would Bush win the election if it were held today? What did the last election say about “the majority of Americans” view of an illegal war?
So I used insulting language. There’s hope for me as a christian yet.
And Sgt. Taylor, if you are or were an enlisted man–and I don’t mean in some nutcase militia–you swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. That includes the right of people to speak freely. If you were ever handed a gun by this country, we need to raise our standards for the military. They were a lot higher in the ’70s. You are way too stupid to hold one. By gawd, I’m getting this christian “turn the other cheek” down!

Comment by crushliberalism — 12:06 pm
I cannot believe the nasty comments being made concerning the Dixie Chicks. This is a group of very talented women - NOT - politicians. I myself was a great fan of theirs until Natalie decided to bash our President. If she had done so to Bill Clinton, I would still feel the same way. I still have a difficult time hearing them on the radio as all I can think of are some of Merles’ lyrics about how people can walk on the “fighting side of me - running down a way of life our fighting men have fought and DIED to keep”. It goes on (for you left-winged people) to say that If you don’t love it - leave it. Yes free speech is what this country is all about. Prepare for consequences. Quit whining.
I must also comment on one photograph of Natalie after receiving one of the awards, she looks downright evil. You don’t see that often. Usually it hides its ugly face well. Not in this case.
Comment by motherhen4274 — 12:07 pm
He also likes jazz, and I didn’t hear him or his wife calling for the heads of the Dixie Chicks. All the woman did was reassure the rest of the world that not everyone from Texas is as dumb as the president. She should be commended for that.
The drop in sales would have happened anyway - the best selling album of 2006 sold @3.7m copies. So double digit album sales are the exception not the rule and bands are never able to consistently sell in the double digits over time.
I agree. She should have told the fans to go f$@#% themselves from the beginning. What’s the point of trying to reason with a bunch of fanatical wackos ?

Bob, for what it’s worth, Bush’s numbers are low because he’s disappointed his base by catering too much to the liberal agenda by not taking a tougher stand on the border issue, not pushing harder for Social Security reform and for letting the minority party Democrats act like they were in control before they actually were. The approval numbers include those on the Left who always hated him (that number will never change) and now includes those of us supporters who wish he would do more to further the conservative agenda.
But keep fooling yourself into thinking there’s some mass liberal movement underway. There’s not. It’s the same unemployed hippies that have been protesting everything from wars to peanut butter for decades. With technology advancements, they just appear to be a larger group now.

Like I give a wet fart on a dry January Monday about Bush’s support. Shows what a dumb f#ck you are with your “blind followers” statement. Considering that, as comment #18 points out, Bush’s supporters have abandoned him for turning his back on them, it’s pretty easy to figure out his anemic approval ratings. Hell, it’s so easy, a leftard like you could figure it out.

Duly noted, Rev. Falwell. Thanks for having my soul’s best interest at heart. To the less informed eye, it might have looked like you gave a sh#t, since you libs try to pawn off that “we really care” bit and everything.
Hey, we get it, OK? Your hearts bleed for al Qaeda, capital murderers, socialist dictators, etc., while your contempt is reserved for normal Americans. Too bad your leaders can’t be as honest about that as you.

Bush’s approval ratings are low because he’s too incompetent to be in any sort of leadership position. We warned you about that when he first ran for prez and you didn’t listen. For Christs sake we’re talking about a man who never experienced 24 hours of uninterrupted sobriety until he was 40. Now that his incompetence is apparent to the majority of the populace, you come up with this ridiculous argument about his “base” - his base is that misguided 30% who approve of him, you morons. You know, the ones that would allow him to molest their children and would then still vote for him. That’s his base. If he truly lost his base his approval would be down to 0.
Comment by southaustin — 2:15 pm
“For Christs sake we’re talking about a man who never experienced 24 hours of uninterrupted sobriety until he was 40.”
One could point out that Winston Churchill was “a man who never experienced 24 hours of uninterrupted sobriety” from age 18 until the day he died, and he was, in my humble opinion, the greatest man of the 20th century.
His greatest virtue was his ability to see the threat to the civilization he loved and not be swayed by the appeasers and other ’sensible people’ who branded him a ‘war monger’.
I’m no huge fan of George Bush, but I prefer him to any of the crop of Dhimmicrats.
On another note, could we please make an effort to elevate the tone of our discussions. I immediately discount the opinion of anyone who cannot articulate an opinion without profanity and emotionalism is not conducive to rational thought…and the danger is such that we desperately need rational thought.

No, that would be the voters of Mass. who kept re-electing Gerry “Teenage Page Boinker” Studds (D-MA) to the House. I can see how you’d get those two mixed up, though.
Comment by crushliberalism — 4:43 pm
bob burg rediculous assertion:
That includes the right of people to speak freely.
This is one of the most over used and rediculous assertions when it comes to knowing your rights.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
You have the right to spreak freely, meaning you have the right for the government not to impede your freedom of speech.
It has NOTHING to do with the public forums of what you say in public and how the public deals with you.
You can speak, and if someone doesn’t like what you have to say as in the DC case, they can speak against you, they can stop buying your records, they can stop going to your concerts, they can convince others not to buy your goods or goto your concerts.
As for some who say “shut up and sing”, I agree, I don’t pay to go to a concert to hear political crap. I pay to see them perform. They want to give speeches and preach political messages in a concert it should be added to their advertising of the concerts - or they should run for office to make it official. The “shut up and sing” is personal opinion and is a suggestion by many who goto hear the music and not the commentary.

Bob Burg said:

WRONG again Bobbie.
The Iraq War wasn’t the #1, or the #2, or the #3 issue of importance to voters. The Iraq War was #4.
How does it feel to live in an angry little troll world, wallowing in ignorance and hate?
Corruption and Ethics were named as the #1 issue to voters, especially after the Mark Foley scandal.
Mark Foley sent disgusting INSTANT MESSAGES to a 17 year old Pageand was forced to resign.
(Compared to a Democrat Gerry Studds actually admitting to having sex with a 17 year old Page and NOT resigning and being re-elected by disgusting more liberal District trolls like you who could give a shit about sex with a boy).
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=2509889
So disgusting little liberal trolls, like YOU, pretend to “care” about the well-being of a 17 year old Page who received disgusting instant messages, but your same ilk in the more “liberal District” in Massachussetts RE-ELECTED Gerry Studds 5 MORE TIMES AFTER he ADMITTED to having sex with a 17 year old.
Now that is hypocrisy in a voting base if I ever saw one.
CNN ran a poll on the importance of issues to voters:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/11/07/election.exitpolls/index.html
“Asked which issues were extremely important to their vote, 42 percent said corruption and ethics; 40 percent, terrorism; 39 percent, the economy; 37 percent, Iraq; 36 percent, values; and 29 percent, illegal immigration.”
#1 Corruption & Ethics 42 percent
#2 Terrorism 40 percent
#3 Economy 39 percent
#4 Iraq War 37 percent
#5 Values 36 percent
#6 Illegal Immigration 29 percent
Many Conservative Democrats ran on a platform on not withdrawing troops from Iraq and won the midterm election.
Joe Lieberman ran as an Independent and campaigned on his support of the Iraq War and won his midterm election.
So wrong again Bobbie “the troll” Burg.

I have a Master’s Degree in Kinesiology and Nutrition. I graduated 4th in my class. My ACT score was 28.
So wrong again Bobbie.
The standard of a U.S. Military recruit have never been higher in the history of America! After 9/11 the percentage of recruits from the poor have gone down to 12% while the percentage of recruits from the upper class has gone UP to 15%.
Many U.S. Politicians actually have sons who have gone to or at war in Iraq or Afghanistan. This is a HIGHER percentage than the general U.S. population. I would venture to guess that you don’t have any family or friends in the U.S. Military, because you wouldn’t be a lefty troll and have such contempt for the U.S. Military if you did.

For McCain, push for troops in Iraq is personal
Senator’s son, now a Marine, could be deployed if Bush OKs ‘surge’ plan
By Elizabeth Williamson
Updated: 11:53 p.m. CT Dec 25, 2006
As the Iraq Study Group issued its long-awaited report on the war, declaring that the United States should not dispatch more troops, Sen. John McCain reacted with his long-held and contrary view: It will take more boots on the ground, or the nation faces “sooner or later, our defeat in Iraq.”
Then the Arizona Republican discreetly flew to San Diego, where the next day, Dec. 8, he sat under a hot sun to watch a skinny 18-year-old in military-issue glasses graduate from boot camp and become a Marine. His son Jimmy.
John McCain’s public certainty about Iraq masks a more private and potentially wrenching connection. If more troops go there, as McCain hopes they will, his youngest son could be one of them, taking his place in a line of family warriors that is one of the longest in U.S. history.
Sen.-elect James Webb (D-Va.) also has a son in the Marine Corps named Jimmy. On the campaign trail, Webb declined to talk about his son, who is in Iraq, but he wore Jimmy’s boots as he called for American forces to come home.
McCain has not drawn any attention to his son and declined to be interviewed for this article.
———————————————————————————
I find it amazing that the media does not give much coverage to the sacrifice made by a higher percentage of Democrat and Republican U.S. Politicians than the general U.S. population that are actually serving in the U.S. Military and in the Iraq War!
Talk about a personal decision. Amazing young men, who could have done anything with lives, but have chosen to join the U.S. Military.

I certainly am in awe of your love for the troops–as you pull up to fill your gas guzzlers with your magnetic support stickers shining in the sun. Just remember, your support for Bush’s policies have killed over 3000 of them and wounded or horribly maimed 8 times more. Curious, wonder how many of you contacted your senators and reps when Bush sent them over without adequate armor protection?
By the way, 85 percent of them think (at least thought in 2/2006) we are in Iraq because of Saddem’s involvement in 9/11.

Correct. Don’t confuse us with your kind, burning the American flag while spitting on one-legged soldiers and protesting outside of Walter Reed Hospital. That’s your ilk, Chomskyite, not ours.

That lie has been smashed more frequently than Ted Kennedy’s cars. I’d give you links, but I doubt they’d put a dent in your moonbat-laced perception of reality.
By the way, 85 percent of them think (at least thought in 2/2006) we are in Iraq because of Saddem’s involvement in 9/11.
If you take a gander at the documents that we’ve uncovered and translated in Iraq, you’d properly conclude that the remaining 15% are ill-informed.

So while you continue to pretend you support the troops (by killing and maiming them through your support of an illegal and immoral war) and because we can’t let the terrorists think we’ll quit–how many more unnecessary deaths are you willing to throw away to convince them??? Meanwhile, I’ll continue to “hate” them by trying to get them home–alive.
With friends like you guys, besides the deaths you’ve caused, the military is now reduced to accepting felons and high school drop-outs. A big “atta-boy” to you all.
Oh, and if your god exists, see you all in hell someday.
PS You don’t really think I’ve read most of the love letters you’ve posted, do you?

That would require literacy and guts, of which you possess neither.

Sorry, I joined the party a bit late. I think bob burg is great! To be able to show his true colors and his own hate for American troops. I am sooooo glad that they are able to explain so well how he hates America and the troops is “priceless”!
You guys don’t get mad it’s good to know where they stand so we know where the fight is. Really good responses.
Thanks to anyone that has served our country! We are forever in your debt.
