Jim Dandy: actually, I caught them on a morning talk show today. I don't know if it was local or national. They seemed just fine, and said that it really wasn't a big deal to them. That it was a little thing. They are about to start on tour and seemed very happy and well : )
And yeah, I think alot of the hassles they got were because they were from Texas, not necessarily a Bible Belt thing, but a Texas thing. Bush was Governor here.

*typos*

gogul: We can always use more pickers. Come on down!

BIG BAD WOLF: I think the biggest reason they got attacked so strongly was because they are country(bible belt) performers,the heart of Bush's and their support.If they were from the east it wouldn't have been nearly as big a story or issue.

TexasToest: Last night on the TV show 'Medium' I heard another new song of their's called 'Lullabye'.


Now that's a beautiful song.

BIG BAD WOLF: freedom of speech can be painful :)

I like the dixie chicks music.... I've always felt sorry for them. They (well the lead singer) said some anti-bush things - THINGS that are said many time now, but many people including people in our own government.... but because she said them before many others did, they seem to have paid the price.

TexasToest: A couple of hours south of Dalaas there's quite a few of us here as well. Nancy Griffith got her start here, lots of others...
I just learned Norah Jones is an alumni of UNT, did you know that, Texas? Don Henley as well. Many great opera singers too.

<g>gogul</b> Texas girls love male guitarists! : )

Haridaspal:yep, the one and only Neil Young

TexasToest: Huh, does this city need a guitar-player? Or only girls allowed ;)

Great to see Neil Young back in action, and how! Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were great favourites in my college days (1976 to 1981). I suppose this is the same Neil Young!!!

gogul: And, we have a city full of them!

TexasToest: They realy make prove of that :)

Well, they're Dallas girls after all. We're strong chicks up here.

Eriisa: I may not agree with them on all issues, but I love them. What a group of talented girls. But I don't think they'll crossover. They are country girls thru and thru. What I wouldn't give to be able to sing like that!

rbanks: lol, to each their own!~

They really are good. I'm surprised they haven't crossed over to pop.

Eriisa: I don't normally listen to country music but I might buy their album just because I DO agree with them. lol

Rose: I like the Dixie Chicks but I will not buy their albums/CDs.

They have a right to their opinions, but since I don't agree with them, I cannot support them.

Rose:Saw Neil Young on TV last night. He is back after a long illness. Had an aneurysm, it was scary but he is fine now and sounds just as good!

Tuesday: I wouldn't be surprised!
Lemme go look it up- You were right. It is called "Living with War" Quite an interesting news story on fox.com about it

Tuesday: Seems Bush is big in the music scene lately. Neil Young (a Canadian) has the 'Let's Impeach the President' song out now.. catchy tune too! LOL

Tuesday: Are the Dixie Chicks still anti-Bush? I recall a big hooplah during his first term I think

baddessi & Texas Toest:

Texas Toest as co-moderator of this board. She has graciously agreed to help us with little notice. Thanks Texas!

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family! He will surely be missed!

Nirvana: I'm very sorry to hear that. He was a dear, sweet man.

It is with great sadness that I pass on the news that RockinRon has passed away.

He was a member here and on Gold Token for several years and he will be greatly missed by many people here. My thoughts are with his family at this tragic time.
