Any fans who stopped liking the Dixie Chicks over that mild comment are in fact red necks.

Sorry, I am not her. I run a political humor/my own little opinion blog…conservative-central@bloghi.com.(Shameless self-plug.)

Don’t hold your breath for her to give back her royalties. It won’t happen, especially now that she’s basically unemployed!

Natalie Maines problem was that she either didn’t understand who her audience consisted of or knew it and didn’t think about the consequences of her actions.

Tell that to Ronald Reagan. And Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Lynn Swann. And Charleton Heston. And Mel Gibson. And Ron Silver. And Steve Largent. And Sonny Bono. And Gopher from Love Boat.

I don’t recall any of the celebs you mentioned making any kinds of comments that approached the stupidity of Maines’ comments given the demographics of the Dixie Chicks fanbase.

Country music is unique from the standpoint that unlike the movie and television entertainment industry and sports whose demographics span the political spectrum, the demographics of country music fans are solidly conservative.

What goes up must come down, I don’t think there’s much more to it. I worked at an amusement park the summer of 1992; by the end of the summer, I knew a substantial part of Garth Brooks’ catalog, much to my dismay. But what’s he doing now?

Her plight should serve as a warning to other celebrities who would use their celebrity as a soapbox for their opinions.

Tell that to Ronald Reagan. And Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Lynn Swann. And Charleton Heston. And Mel Gibson. And Ron Silver. And Steve Largent. And Sonny Bono. And Gopher from Love Boat.

I used to enjoy them too, but just like when I hear some of Micheal Jackson’s old stuff (which was good), I just can’t listen to it anymore. The artist has ruined the medium.

Besides, it doesn’t take much brain power to figure out that when your core audience is conservative, as most country fans are, that you probably shouldn’t bash the red, white, and blue…

Is that the hockey arena? I hear it’s pretty sweet. I’ve been to a few University of Michigan hockey games, the crowd is insane.

In effect, Natalie Maines is a spoiled little girl who never learned that along with “rights” come “responsibilies”.

…and I apparently never learned how to spell responsibilities….
