The Dixie Chicks Return To Texas

Music preference (along with fave bands / singing groups / solo acts, etc) can invoke as much heated passion as one's favorite pro / college football team, political party affiliation, etc, etc. It amazes me how emotional adults can get (especially) if someone happens to disagree one iota.....it makes no sense at all. And yet....

Anyway, that said, while I myself wouldn't walk across the street to see the DC's for free, it matters not that others would be goo goo about catching their act.....live and let live, right? While I've no doubt these girls are musically talented; they just ain't my cup o' tea.....I'd so much prefer kicking back a couple o' hours and enjoying Robert Plant or Don Henley perform at the Palladium Ballroom any day of the week.....

Free speech is alive and well. They're welcome to say what they want and I'm allowed to not like it. Jane Fonda's actions were a huge polical boast for America's enemies and so was Natalie Maines' comments. Many people I'm sure agreed with her. I didn't. If you can't accept that, you're the one with a problem with free speech. Originally Posted by Wheretonow

WMDs were bunch of bullshit, and absolutely nothing was accomplished other than killing 100,000 Iraqis, 4,000 Americans, and putting many more on disability for life.

Perhaps neither free speech nor recent history is your thing?

Been recently announced that the Dixie Chicks will finally make an American tour, and will return to Texas in August of 2016. I will gladly pay to see these super talented girls any day of the week. But I wonder if there are people out there still butt hurt over what they said about Bush in 2003?

From where I sit, they have been vindicated as that was proven to be a shit stupid move in Iraq. Anyone feel otherwise? And why? Given the amount of bullshit that is spread daily about our current POTUS, what Natalie said was fairly tame. Originally Posted by Look-at-Stupid

Their (or Natalie's) comment was a classic example of pandering to their audience. "Traveling Soldier" is one of my favorite songs, but just as I don't watch Jane Fonda movies, I don't listen to The Dixie Chicks music. Originally Posted by Wheretonow

How did anything Natalie Maines do compare with that Jane Fonda did? I guess free speech is not your thing huh? Originally Posted by Look-at-Stupid

You asked if anyone disagreed with your love for the DCs, then launch personal attacks on anyone who does. I think your user name has it exactly right.

Your idiotic assertions about taking apart anything logical would require that you provide some kind of facts and logic. Instead you simply launch tiresome personal attacks, one of the most frequently-used fallacies in logic.

Not much on answering direct questions are you? You're type of guy whose ass I beat the fuck out of in high school. And would do the same now, and laugh at you while I did it. Originally Posted by Look-at-Stupid

Yeah, I bet you were the man in high school, while its doubtful you graduated or earned a GED. Peaking at 18 years old is difficult for smart people, too. But the intelligent people learn to deal with it and move on, unlike LA stupid.

I've seen Don Henley several times, and his solo shows were great. The last time I saw him was about seven years ago, and he still sounded good. He's 68 now, and his voice is not what it used to be.

Here's a link to a recent Austin City Limits concert. He sings some old and new stuff plus has several musical guests including 2/3 of the Dixie Chicks.

Please don't take it personal when members insult The Dixie Chicks. Not everyone likes the same type of music Originally Posted by gman44

Guys arguing about chicks ... par for the course

Only comment I have after seeing other comments is yes they have "freedom of speech" but they are in the entertainment field and they did come from the conservative State of Texas. That being said is every person forms judgements and that is their rights too. Or I blew with the Dixies is that Texas and their entertainment field judged them. Nothing wrong with that, they shouldn't of been political if they didn't want to be judged.

Also for the people still beating on Bush. There is a strong group that believes he was correct. You don't have the luxury of always knowing everything and sometimes attacks need to be preemptive. But this is just my take as a Soldier who deployed there.

What I don't understand about all you right wingers who are pissing and moaning about this is Maines was clearly correct. What the hell are you pissed off about?

Everyone from any end of the political spectrum that I know -- from far right to left -- thinks Bush was a horrible President. And that among a ton of bad decisions, invading Iraq was the single worst one. Surely nobody thinks it was a good idea now. What the fuck is your beef?

Henley, solo, can rawk it....seen him a half-dozen times over the past 30 yrs and his shows never disappoint,

I will, however, disagree he's (Plant) hasn't done anything since the Zep Days.....so we'll just agree to disagree per that argument.

Anyway, I used the Plant / Palladium Ballroom as a point of reference since he kicked off his North American tour there in 2013 and (trust me) he sounded great....he and his band put on a fantastic show.

Now does he have the same voice of decades ago? Prolly not (but) one thing for sure he does not embarrass himself on stage (like Paul McCartney has done of late).

I hate the frickin Eagles maannnn!!!
