The trio released a statement last week attributing the changes to attempts to "accommodate demand" and said more dates might be added next year.

The group also said the adjustments will allow them to promote the documentary "Dixie Chicks: Shut up and Sing," for the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Hehe, I wouldn't say that their popularity is waning. I'd say their appeal is becoming more selective.

Gee, that's surprising when Toby Keith can't book venues fast enough to keep up with demand.

Yeah, such an awful thing to criticise the president of the home of the brave and the land of the free, they get their right whack for taking that stuff about free speech as if it actually meant something.

Of course it means something.
They exercised their free speech rights and no one stopped them, no one is trying to stop them. If the public chooses not to purchase tickets to their performances, they are well within their rights to do so. Freedoms go both ways. I never thought they were so terrific to begin with; so their unfortunate choice of venue to exercise their freedom of speech has no bearing on my not purchasing their music.

I don't know a single song by them...

 

[Oblivious]

I don't know a single song by them...

Me neither, but I HATE country music, so I don't care to know any of them.

Absolutely right, no question about it, and I wouldn't even dream of disagreeing. I suppose I put that little comment in at least partly in the context of the death theats they apparently got, and the fact that a lot of people did think they were terific, but the ####*fell out of their audience as soon as they expressed an unpopular (in some quarters) opinion in the presence of strangers.

Their decline in popularity is a result of their own ignorance.

The Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain have made Country accessible for everyone ....

.... they are fantastic!!!

 

[theeyesoftammyfaye]

can i totally agree with them & their assertion that GWB is a fool (to say the least) and still hate their music?

because i wouldn't pay a nickel to see them in concert. i can't stand country music. but i totally agree with them.

and for the record, a lot of people around these parts (toby keith's "motherland") think toby keith is a foolish bumpkin too.

 

[healy]

who?

 

[Menuet]

they don't appeal to me
ya know though something weird about their faces,they look like men trying to be women.odd...ok the one looks like a girl but they are so masculine it wouldn't shock me if ahh just a thought

 

[NoName12]

It was there comments about contery fans and that song they made after the persidnts aproval ratings went down that made me hate them. That song is basicly them saying "told you so you stupid poeple" and I rember her calling contery fans dum rednecks and said how she wish everyone could think like her.


Thats what made me trully hate the Dixie Chicks

They cancelled a June 1 show at cleveland's gund arena, telling everone one of the chicks was "sick". Truth is she was barfing all over herself and too drunk to play. How do I know this? I worked at the gund at the time.

Pray, what do you mean by "ignorance"?

ahahahhhhhh..... If she WAS barking all over herself, she WAS sick right??? right? Right?

Like it or not but there are very FEW people in the world who don't secretly wish (at times) that everyone thought like them.
