Title: Dixie Chicks: Insane or Intentionally Stupid?
Post by: Mr. 5020 on September 27, 2003, 12:38:12 PM
The Dixie Chicks have had a divorce - of a sort - from country music.  I personally think they are insane.  Besides being anti-USA commies, and obvious racists (due to their comments about future Gov. Arnold Schwarzanegger), they are generally getting banned from the few radio stations that played them.  Here's an open letter that lead singer Natalie posted on their website (http://dixiechicks.launch.yahoo.com/news.asp?id=57).

Quote
Dear Reader:

I am taking the time out of my very busy rock and roll life to write you this letter. As I am sure you can understand, being me is a full time job. I can't just drop everything every three days because someone needs a quote or statement about a quote or statement we may or may not have said. It's just draining me of time and effort I need to put toward other things. For one, I as a taxpayer have to get busy earning money to help pay off the latest $87 billion dollar addition to the national debt! Also, I have a huge list of phone calls to return.

I'll list a few just so you get the idea.

Message 1:
Saddam Hussein called and wants to know where his weapons of mass destruction are. Listen Saddam, I already told you, I don't know. You’re going to have to call the White House on that one.

Message 2:
Country radio called and wants to know if it's true that you're leaving country music? This one must be a prank call. I mean, how can you leave a party now when the hosts had shown you to the door six months ago.

Message 3:
Sheryl Crow and Lenny Kravitz called to see if you could come to their party Friday night. Oh that one’s easy. I can't, I'm already going to Ashton and Demi's party.

Message 4:
G. Gordon Liddy, Rush Limbaugh, and Don Imus all called again to ask about the plane crash. Listen guys this is really getting old. I'm sorry, but no we did not die in a plane crash. But look on the bright side…we fly all the time.

Message 5:
Arnold Schwarzenegger called to see if we wanted to “verk out” with him at “zee gym” next week. Hmmm that's both weird and scary. He must not have heard what Emily "said" about him or know that we're married!

See, can you understand now why I don't have time to constantly defend my partners and myself? Oh speaking of partners, Martie did want me to clear up two things that she absolutely did not say in any shape, form or fashion. She wants it to be known that she never complained about not winning any ACM awards. I told her nobody who has ever seen what an ACM award looks like is going to believe she said any such thing. But nevertheless she wanted to clear that up. The second thing was that she never said we were a part of the "rock and roll family" now. I once again told her I didn't think it was necessary to clear that up. I mean, as of yet, I wasn't aware we had made a rock album. As a matter of fact, I think I recall our last album being bluegrass. So there you have it. Do with it what you will.

You know, a good thing that has come out of all this is having a good support system from the music industry to call on for advice. Most recently I called up Ozzy to ask him what I should do about all of this, and do you know what he told me? Oh hang on just a second, you won't believe this…P. Didddy and Eminem just instant messaged me at the exact same time. I didn't even know that was possible. Let me just IM them back that I will have to talk to them later. O.K. sorry about that. Now where was I? Oh right Ozzy. Do you know what he told me to do? Well, I don't really know either. I couldn't really understand him. But he did say something at the end that was very profound. He said "f*** it." I like that advice. I think I'll do just that. So from here on out when you call for a statement, explanation, apology, etc., we are just going to have to refer you to this letter. Oh, and by the way, since you’re here on our website you might as well go buy a T-shirt. We are having a plane crash sale. Everything is double.

Oh, I have to go. Keith and Mick are in the limo waiting for me. The five of us have started getting together every Tuesday night. I must tell you, Keith is really getting into his fiddle lessons with Martie. He can already play “Faded Love”. And Mick, well he gets faster at “Dueling Banjos” with Emily every week. I think they are really going to blow everyone away at the rock and roll family reunion next week. But, it's not just about them learning from us. Nope, they help me every week think up new controversial "rock and roll" things to say. Thanks guys…you’re the greatest!

Love, Natalie

PS. I will also be posting this in German so if you don't like what I really said you can just translate it into what suits your agenda.

What do you guys think?

You have to understand the country music audience. If you do that, you are one step a head of the Dixie Chicks. Country music is mainly listen to my people who have the following bumper sticker on there car:

American by Birth, Southern by the grace of God.

The fans of Country music like Bush. They would vote for him for the Leader of the New World Order if he ran! Country music fans are the sole reason no one will ever invade the gulf coast, because if anyone tried they have so much pride in their Country they will load up their Trucks with all their sawed off shotguns, drive to the coast, sit on the tailgates, and when the marine get their 3 hours latter, the breach would be littered in shotgun shells, beer cans, and the dead bodies of a foreign Army.

The Dixie Chicks are alienating their fan base. The are clearly insane .

Personally, I'm praying Earl comes back from the grave to seek revenge on the Dixie Chicks. We need to give rid of them, plus I haven't seen a good Zombie movie since Evil Dead  ;D

Tibby, Too funny! You actually got a chuckle out of my husband!  ;D

He's a retired Marine who's family is in Texas while we are in the deeper south, he's a country music fan and he has the tailgate and shotgun! Now all he's missing is that bumper sticker.... 8)

As for the Chicks, I think the ole biddies (baby chicks ::)) have just gotten too big for their britches.  :P

 All this guaranteed free speech under the constitution seems to achieve its intended purpose for show biz people, "PUBLICITY". This thread has helped it for the "Dixie Chicks".

Any one remember "Hanoi Jane"? When a career is on the skids showbiz jumps on the adverse political band wagon.

It is America after all and this freedom is guaranteed by us, for us, and of us in America.

One or two of American lives are lost evry day,almost, in Iraq
by grenade launchers so all Americans can continue to disagree.

Pray for them and the Dixie Chicks et al.

Yes they have  freedom to say what they want ,and we have the freedom to say what we want. 2 way street. BUT, when you are famous, by insulting your fan base, you get BAD publicity. The people who agree with them HATE their music, so they will not listen. The people who love their music HATE them now, so they will not buy their CDs. It was stupid on their part. In Dallas, Tx, at Lallpaousa(sp?) When a band tried to badmouth Bush, everyone would boo him. Rock fans don't like to bash Bush, so we know where country fans stand!

Jane who? ;D Sorry, I've heard the name, but I had to look it up to realize who it was. ;)

One or 2 America's lose there lives in a car wreck, why don't they protest for us to use more Public Transit? 1 or 2 America's die on a job site, why don't they protest to get all forms on non-cublicalite labor to shut down?
