Dixie Chicks get ready for US tour |
2003-04-04 |
EDITED Country radio stations across the nation stopped playing the Texas trio's music and record sales have plummeted. Things have apparently gotten so bad that Chick Martie Maguire said the musicians now fears for their safety. "We've gotten a lot of hate mail, a lot of threatening mail," Maguire told reporters in Australia. "Emily [Robison] had the front gate of her ranch smashed in. We have to have security when we get back to the States. It puts my well-being in jeopardy." Hmm, if finances are getting a little tight, perhaps the bartenders from your new waitressing gig will watch out for you.. The Chicks kick off their Hmm, You know Nat, I'd be worried that those tickets are mostly sold-out to the protestors. Or maybe it's just that The Greenville Bar and Grill has limited seating...

#11 Still, Maines is sticking by her guns. "The more flak I get for it, the prouder I am," said Maines. Pride goeth before the fall... Remember you said that a couple of years from now when your sneaking a smoke between gigs in the alley behind Billy Bobs in Sinkhole, Oklahoma. |

#9 Ol Fat Nat should have stuck to being just fat and unattractive, now she's opened her big pie hole to let the world know that she is dumb as a bag of hammers, next stop: a single wide trailer in Arkansas, but hey maybe she can hook up with Bubba, he likes em chubby and stupid. |

#7 Still, Maines is sticking by her guns. "The more flak I get for it, the poorer prouder I am," said Maines. That's nice to know. If she's smart, she'll have saved up all her money. If not, well.... |

#6 sorry, I should have clicked on Fifth Column, but I forgot. I love the counter concerts idea! Wouldn't surpise me if they cancel the tour citing "security concerns" to save face at the low turnout. But they probably figure they need get whatever they can, while it lasts. |

#5 I have a sneaking suspiscion that the Ditzy Chicks are going to get a very hot reception at some of their concerts in some parts of the US. |

#4 I heard that a group of country artists were holding "counter" concerts in the cities where the Dixie Chicks are scheduled to play. A ticket to the Dixie Chicks' show gets you into the "counter" concert for free. tee hee!! I'm sure the powers that be for the venues where the Dixie Chunks are scheduled are just loving that news. ::smirk:: |

#3 Probably should have gone under "Fifth Column," but somehow it seems right that it's listed here. From the outlandish rumors department: I read yesterday on some website (and, no, I can't recall which) that there are rumors the Chicks will break up after their tour. In essence, Maine is going to get the boot and the other two reform. Take that with as much salt as necessary. |

#1 "Sticking by her guns"? That got a laugh out of me! Maines is a poor not-so-little room-temperature IQ type who started believing her own press and fa-nmail, and got sucked in by the liberal culture in the Pop Music industry. Much to her detriment. |
