As far as the redneck, I mean Toby Keith, he's the one that had this picture, up on the screen at his concerts, first. I can kinda see why the Chicks don't like him and why they would want his ugly mug removed from the venue

Now, Toby Keith has been quoted as saying "he's not sure if going into Iraq was the right thing to do and that we probably won't know for 20 or 30 years, why we really invaded them. Ah, duh.

I'm sure, if you ever get a chance to see this documentary, it will all be cleared up for you.

I like Dixie Chicks, and thought they had a lot of courage. I'm very curious to see the documentary. It had wonderful reviews at Toronto Film Festival and probably will be distributed all over the world, at least on video. Besides one of the directors is the great Barbara Kopple (Wild man blues on Woody Allen was another of her gems). Word is she's going to have another Oscar nomination for this.

It's from a skit from MadTv. It's a take of their video for Not Ready to Make Nice.

Come on people, we can't help it, if the little one has a big mouth

Theresa, did you see the documentary yet? Just curious how you liked it. It's not released here yet. I checked their website and there are quite a few replays of the VH1 Storytellers in the next few days. They perform tonight in Vancouver - should be quite a show now that the election is over.

I also saw this...On Nov 14, an expanded edition of “Taking the Long Way” will be released that includes the full studio album plus a bonus DVD including interviews with the Dixie Chicks and producer Rick Rubin, several live clips and the video for “Not Ready to Make Nice”.

Oh my god. How did I miss this post

To answer your first question, yes I did go and see the movie, but didn't want to post my review because I thought everyone might be "chicked out" (Curtis? ) but I just went and saw it the second time and I feel compelled to reply IT WAS EXCELLENT!!!! Ya'all must go and see it! It just shows you how silly the whole thing was. Yet how serious and real it all turned out to be. Did anyone see it?

I heard the Vancouver show was awesome. If you want any Chicks news, this is a awesome website and message board http://www.chicksrockchicksrule.com/
As far as the expanded cd, it's on my Christmas list

I read that "Shut Up and Sing" has made the cut for Academy Award consideration for Best Documentary. They narrowed the initial field from 88 films down to 15. Actual nominations are announced in January.

I know! Can you believe that? That is fricken awesome. It's so ironic, isn't it? There's also buzz about a Grammy. And all this with no radio play and promotion.

I don't even care if they SING anymore. I'm not liking their new stuff at all.
