My opinion they just need to play music - simple as that, no doctumentary is going to change people's opinion on this whole overblown situation. Just play music & tour - cause in the end Bush wont be around and the DC's will (I still laugh at all the nitwits who burnt their CD's after the Anti-Bush comment, what a bunch of f-tards!)

As for Toby Keith, I dislike him - I don't give a **** if he is a local boy or not, Just another lame cog in the Nashville-lameass-what-is-considered-nowadays-as-country-music-industry (I recently quit watching CMT because I am disliking about 95% of what I hear of "modern country")

Exactly. It's the Bush lovers and the media that blew it all out of proportion, not the Chicks.

That's what they're trying to do. Just play music. But radio stations won't play them.

I really hope people go and see this documentary. I believe it will change "some" people's negative opinion of them.

personally I am sick of it, Just shut & play the music indeed.

As for the people & their negative opinions, ya know what some famous fuzzy headed singer once sang: "Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind"

How stupid is that.

I downloaded the concert on dimeadozen I told you about. It's a great show and I'll gladly burn you a copy if you'd like. I'll let you know if Toronto's show ever shows up.

I would love a copy of the Toronto show! Please let me know if one shows up. Thank you. If one doesn't eventually show up, I might take a copy of that Boston? show. I tried joining dimeadozen but it said it was full or something. Doesn't really matter, cause I wouldn't know what to do once I got on there anyway

Where do I go or who do I ask about a bootleg of the show on video. I was on one Chick message board but there was no mention of boots anywhere, and I didn't want to piss anybody off.

Some poor bastard got kicked out of the Toronto show for recording. DAMN

I belong to quite a few sites that offer bootlegs for downloading. I'll let you know if Toronto shows up. The Boston show was the first I've seen available from the new tour and it was just available yesterday and the concert was in July. If the Toronto show was at the Hummingbird Centre there are lots of shows taped at that venue so it may show up.

Toronto was at the Air Canada Centre (ACC). October 28th. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hopefully something will show up. Thanks.

Country trio the DIXIE CHICKS have discovered a major plus from the fall-out after their anti-GEORGE W BUSH controversy - they've been embraced by gay men.
The group lost an army of fans after singer NATALIE MAINES famously criticised the US President during a 2003 concert in London, but they've started seeing more men at their shows.
Bandmate EMILY ROBISON says, "There are lots of gay men in the audience. I think they rightfully assume that if you're liberal on one issue, you're liberal across the board." Maines adds, "I feel we have a connection with them because we've felt discrimination. We now know what it's like to be hated for no reason, just because of who we are.
"There are way more men in general. We never really had men in our crowd or it always seemed as if they didn't want to be there - that they brought their girlfriends, thinking for doing that they were going to get laid afterward."

You know, she could be right. Before I dragged my husband to the Toronto show the other nite, I said to him, (as a joke), it takes a "real man" to go to a Dixie Chicks concert, honey you're going to stick out like a sore thumb. After the show, he said, there was lots of men there, what are you talking about? He was right. I saw alot of gay guys there and alot of hetero men.

Calling all gay men, is there any truth to this? Sorry, I'm on a Dixie Chick kick

I've always like the chicks, politics or not. Just because they are great musicians and I dig their music. But then, I am not a typical homo in my music taste. On the whole though, gay guys love tragic women martyrs, so it makes sense.

I applaud them for having the balls to express everyone's rights!!!

Rickypt · #58 11-01-2006, 01:24 PM

I never paid much attention to their music until recently. I think "Not Ready To Make Nice" is a gorgeous song and I drive everyone at my watering hole crazy by playing it over and over on the jukebox.

I'd like to see them in concert, but I'll be out of town when they're here.

There was a guy at the show wearing a t-shirt that said "CHICKS WITH DICKS" on the front and "NO BUSH" on the back. Natalie saw it and pointed it out and read it out loud. Very funny
