Let go of all the hate, dude. It isn't good for you. Spend your
energy worrying about important things. Besides, just because they
sold 500k units in the first week doesn't mean their career isn't in
jeopardy. It could stall before it even sells a million, and I am
sure that would make you happy. As for "imitation blacklisting", I
don't even think that is open for debate. The number of radio spins
since Natalie Maines said her peace about Bush speak for themselves.

Hey, dude, any opposing opinion to yours is "hating", huh. Funny since
the whole false argument is that diversity is somehow being hindered by
some right-bogey chasing you and therefore you're some kind of martyr
against the forces of totalotarianism. That's all a ruse. If Manes
bashes the supposedly regressive, close-minded, dim-witted CW
community, then why would they be spinning her discs. She disowned them
and decided to make her enmity the centerpiece of the disc's promotion.
There's plenty of places to hear the disc if you want to. Go there.
It's not a blacklisting. The communist blacklist was a government-run
destuction of artists' career possibilities. The Chicks ain't barely
been touched, despite all their caterwauling and martyr-posing, they
have now been proved to be free as they ever were. They have always
been free to say what they wanted, and continue thusly. So she
lambasted CW sensibilities again in the run-up to the release. Live
with it.

what's also funny about all the D Chicks talk about defending
diversity: they themselves are in absolute lock-step opinion-wise with
each other, led by the "thinker" in the group, Loud Nat. She makes the
opinions, the other gals just parrot it. No diversity amongst
themselves. There was not one divergence last night on LKL.

They said they would play in Iraq if asked. I wonder if maines would
start in with her standard bashing of the President routine in front of
an Armed forces audience. That'd be something to see.
