Its hypoctitical when people complain about a singer that voices an opinion opposite their own, and says they should keep their mouths shut. Then says nothing about another singer who voices their opinion, but since its the same as the listener, its ok: Its hypocritical to say they can speak through their songs, but not in a speech per se. Just because they are singers, doesnt mean they havent put thought behind their words. Seems like politicians need to follow their lead. Speak what is on your mind and not what you think we need to hear.
I think the Chicks Rock. Doesnt matter to me that they voiced their thoughts, seems other were doing the like. Glad they stood their ground since as it turns out, they were right. They just were right a little before others thought so. Kinda makes you wonder doesnt it?
As for Bush. People forget how Republicans flipped out about Clintons pot use or whatever. But dont seem to recall that Bush was a Coke addict and an alcoholic. But, since he is their candidate, that all is just fine and dandy.
:aktion033: :aktion033: Oh, I have a few other ideas for their CDs *ahem*
When I said ridiculous, I wasn't directing it at you... So don't go thinking that. I think its rediculous and at the same time hypocritical to go around saying they need to shut there mouth and not voice there opinion, but at the same time you are voicing your opinion about it. I have NO problem with people who disagree with them or they just don't like them just because its not there taste but it does get to me when people voice there opinion that they think they need to keep there opinion to there selves when at the same time they are voicing there opinions! Im sure it hurts them alot for people to buy there CD's and smash them... Its still so funny that they are one of the leading groups in the country....Its hypoctitical when people complain about a singer that voices an opinion opposite their own, and says they should keep their mouths shut.

Pepipony, that was exactly my point.: It was stated that I was ridiculous for voicing my opinion, on a topic ABOUT the subject.
Although, I disagree with them spouting off at a concert. The people were there to hear them sing, not hear their politcal views. I would be pretty ticked off, if I had spent money for a concert, ANY concert, and had to listen to the groups opinions on something, whether it was about abortion, drugs, or politics.
BTW, who was he other singer/group you were referring to?
And trust me , I HATED the Chickie Dixs way before they spewed their "opinion"
And I have no problem with Clintons pot use, my problem was him LYING under OATH... What a role model..

And those were republican states and there new CD isn't so much country anymore so they lost alot of fans that way. But they were #1 for selling albums when it came out and they beat there own record of selling CD's so I think they are doing just fine without the republican states!!When I said ridiculous, I wasn't directing it at you...

Umm, well, I think you might want to look into that Gage. The leading group thing, that is, they cancelled a bunch of tour dates because tickets sales were so poor.
Now off the politcal soapbox.
Rascal flatts, NOw there is a leading group!: :aktion033:
hmm, not that I want to argue...but exactly where did you find this info??? Last article I heard about their sales (regardless of what state - I live in Michigan -very democratic state and they hardly play them at all anymore, and have never played music from their latest cd) was that the only reason they were even around is because Target backed them tremendously and without the Target endorsement their label was going to try to drop them. The majority of their peers in the country music industry boycotted them as well as fans.
You are right...the thread did get way off topic...as far as these comments...Over there you see and hear what YOUR GOVT. wants you to believe. Not much different than here really, just a different message. I hardly believe that Canadian media is any more believable than U.S. media.
Jenn you always crack me up--Canadian news propaganda free?
