4. WOW!
I have to wait until May!

I guess I never realised they received
death threats, but shouldn't be surprised.

Thanks for the tune.

7. Has anyone found where you can download and buy the new single? I know the
CD has not been released yet, but I was hoping the single might be released and sold as a single.

9. I just looked last night and it wasn't available yet.
I am checking daily on itunes and I will post as soon as it is available. In the meantime, go to their website for a listen.

15. I have heard it on their site and MSNBC (I think) and love it! If you
see it available anywhere, could you maybe send me a pm and let me know? I'll do the same.

I know it's not available on Napster either because I tried to look it up.

Thanks! :)

17. Will do.
I wonder if you can sign up for email alerts from The Dixie Chicks. You know they will be sending out emails as soon as that CD is available.

10. My small little nickels and dimes boycott country music
Edited on Sat Mar-25-06 11:21 AM by chaumont58
I refuse to even stop on the two country music channels on my satellite tv system. The way those girls were treated? Middle America? Bullshit! More like middle 1930s Nazi Germany.

I wouldn't piss on the best part of country music(I know, what best part?). If every one of those puke ass country music singers went dead broke and had to panhandle on some Nashville street, I would look upon the events as real proof that there is a just God.

16. I've heard their new CD is more rock than country
which is fine by me.

11. The Bushbots never did any serious damage to the Chicks...
is my understanding. Their CDs never stopped selling, their performances have been well attended, and they probably made up in new fans what they lost in morans who were mad at them.

A bunch of Redstate radio stations boycotting the Dixie Chicks music was a powerful move only in their own minds.

19. The funny thing is that not buying their CDs doesn't hurt them
as much as it hurts the record company. Musicians don't make much at all off of CD sales. Their money comes from concerts. And since their last tour was a huge success, they came out on top!

Go Dixie Chicks!!

13. Over 28000 votes in the past hour - no way!
This poll is being rigged by some automated method. It's getting over 400 votes per minute.

24. That "comeback" line is bullshit
They cleaned up in 2003 in terms of concert tix, awards, and sales. Since then, they've taken a little break from the craziness and went into the studio. To call it a comeback is to imply that they were down the past few years.
