What's the name of the new Dixie Chicks album? go BUY it, pronto!

[Gabi Hayes]

see the threads here that realize what a total ASS that 60 Minutes cretin was to her

they're only number 37, without airplay, even though LOTS of stations have had many many calls in support of them, despite that dick's misleading spin

there were lots of threads about this when the album first came out, with several examples of how the stations themselves forced DJs NOT to play the single

let that jerk, who I won't name, know about his totally onesided hatchet job

and BUY the CD!

NOW

hissyspit says there's a reply spot here, but I couldn't find it. didn't look that hard, though

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60minutes/main3415.shtml

they don't seem to want to make it too easy to give them feedback....wonder what the percentage of outraged negatives is, despite the subject matter

if you do reply, be polite

ha

thanks to andytiedye, here's the latest:

"Taking the Long Way", May 23rd

[Gabi Hayes]

1. this looks like a transcript

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/11/60minutes/main1611424.shtml

can't find the reply email address/form somebody mentioned in another thread

[Gabi Hayes]

3. this is typical of the BS, misleading tone of the story

''Not since Jane Fonda’s trip to Hanoi had an entertainer enraged so many people with a political statement.''

is that SO, you fat prick? care to prove it, or is it just a way to spice up your feeble commentary?

[Botany]

2. They also had the highest grossing C.D. and tour

in Country Music after Natalie said her thing.

I am buying the new one tomorrow.

5. You can down load their song at iTunes music store right now

I just did.

[Gabi Hayes]

6. thanks...putting it in the header

they're so sweet; that's what gets me.

most stars I see get very annoying very quickly, but they seemed so unalloyed

didn't appear to have much pretense about them at all

[Libby2]

7. I can't wait for it to come out

[Gabi Hayes]

9. meanwhile, any suggestions on earlier stuff to buy?

they have quite a few out

[Hissyspit]

12. 'Home' was really good. Had "Travelin' Soldier," an anti-war song

that went to #1 on the Country charts. Also had that Patti Griffin song and "Landslide." 'Fly' had "Goodbye Earl."

[shaniqua6392]

14. It is all great!!

They are so awesome in concert you just can't believe your ears. They sound just as good live as their CD's do. I saw them a few years ago here in Michigan and they packed in the stadium! They do not need to rely on the "south" to be successful. We "blue states" love the Chicks! I am going to buy a few of the new CD's to show my support.

[Gabi Hayes]

21. thanks to all three of you!

[Libby2]

15. I have

Fly, Wide Open Spaces, and Top of the World Tour.

I love all three of them.

10. what, is it a microdot?

thx, though

I was in a hurry to get this up

[Mr_Spock]

11. I plan to buy at least two copies when it comes out!

I can't wait!!

[LostinVA]

13. It's not out until May 23

[Gabi Hayes]

16. examples of the kinds of 'questions' asked/remarks made:

Now it kind of seems like you're picking the scab again," Kroft remarked, laughing. "You're picking the scab here. Like you're pouring salt on the wound."

wrt the new album:

''It’s either a clever marketing ploy, or the Dixie Chicks have decided to commit career suicide.''



"Anybody ever tell you one of the big rules of the music business, or business in general, is never try to antagonize your customers?" ***** asked, laughing. --isn't that HIlarious?

"They have already paid a huge price for their outspokenness, and not just monetarily. A half-hearted apology for the London comments three years ago didn’t help much, and neither did posing for a magazine cover several weeks later."

hey, fatso...I got your apology right HERE

[Gabi Hayes]

17. more aholiness from K****

>>>>Asked if ever said or wanted to say to Natalie to "shut up," Maguire says no. "I thought it was, I think it's great that she speaks her mind."

the above section edited his nasty question to Maguire, in which he posed it directly: did you ever want to, or tell Natalie to shut up? much worse onair than it comes across in print, the fat plick.

>>>>Instead of mending fences, they seem to be burning bridges, saying that too much of the country music audience fits a stereotype — a stereotype they say doesn’t apply to their fans.

[Mr_Spock]

18. I sent Steve Kroft a SCATHING email about his awful reporting

I've never seen him be more awful.

[Gabi Hayes]

19. care to share it? I need some ideas, cause I'm still too mad to

be coherent

[Mr_Spock]

22. Here - I was a bit mad & all over the place myself...

Mr. Kroft, could you possibly have been any more negative in your depiction of the Dixie Chicks in your 60 minutes story tonight? They, unlike the cowardly media, have spoken truth to power WRT the lies that got us into the war in Iraq. Bush has lied and broken laws concerning the war in Iraq & spying on Americans (& many other things) and you cowards just tow the line. I think the Dixie Chicks have kicked the ignorant rednecks aside and decided to go for a more open minded crowd - and I think it will be a very successful transition. Country was popular with everyone when I was a kid in the 70's - if you remember. That was before the ignorant angry bigot rednecks took over and ruined it. Their previous album did quite fine BTW, you basically lied about that. I suppose you in the media are not going to report the indictment of Karl Rove when it comes down this week, or perhaps you will ignore the "shocking" news that former NSA staffer Russell Tice will be testifying to this week. Please try to be real reporters and not cow to this administration.

[Hissyspit]

23. Cool. n/t

[lonestarnot]

20. Done waiting for it to ship.

[faithnotgreed]
