Sure, I suppose there are some Dixie Chicks fans who are curious about seeing them after such a long hiatus, but I suspect the Dixie Chicks are not yet at the point in their career where people would be willing to pay $225 to see them. And Keith Urban is just wasted space. They may as well have put Miley Cyrus on the bill instead; at least she would be able to draw out the tweens and make it a family affair for, uh, really rich families.

I like the Dixie Chicks and Keith Urban a lot more than I like the Eagles. And Keith Urban -- aside from being a LB admirer -- has great music and is sort of a heart throb, so I think he will attract young swooning girls. I like his songs. I just don't know what kind of live performer he is. He might just stand there -- like Don. I'd pay $225 to see them. If it weren't for the Eagles. If I weren't lazy. If I hadn't just shelled out $500 for Conan tickets.
