Just got back from the opening night of Dixie Chicks...

..."Accidents and Accusations" Tour in Detroit.

Dang. I'm still speechless. Those ladies ROCK. Absolutely great show and the vibe was intense. Great show, great crowd response. I just thought I would share...

1. Kick.

Any political commentary during the concert?

:kick:

[susanna]

3. Kinda veiled...

...but the intro was quite in-your-face in a pretty cool way.

One cool thing was seeing a girl walking by wearing a "Give Bush a Wedgie" t-shirt, LOL. :-)

2. Sounds like you had a very good time!

I'm happy for you!

I'll bet it will be a while before you are able to settle down, and get some sleep, though!

:bounce: :bounce:

4. I did, I did!

I've really liked them for a long time but never got a chance to see them. My hubby surprised me with tickets this morning...and he braved it all for me, LOL. (By that I mean he was swimming in a sea of chicks, literally!) :-)

5. Looks like they won the fight withBush in the long run, doesn't it?

It gave them a bigger audience and allowed them to cut loose. And over time, their truth is winning out over Bush's lies, as his numbers sink and theirs improve.

Here's to speaking your mind, even when it makes your pocketbook tremble! :toast:

6. Dead on, jobycom.

One of the highlights of the night was when they played their new song, "Not Ready to Make Nice" - I kid you not, the place went absolutely crazy. They were absolutely into it, too - they were totally there and singing/playing their hearts out. Not just that song, but all of them. I think they are some really gutsy ladies and I'm so glad I got a chance to cheer them on. :-)

I'm glad you enjoyed the show. I'm jealous!

8. I'm sorry, auntAgonist...

and honestly, I wasn't expecting to go myself! My husband is really one of those "surprise" guys. He knew I loved them and bought the tickets behind my back. I totally forgive him for not telling me, LOL. I really hope they do a documentary or live DVD for folks who wanted to go but couldn't...I bet they do! :-)

9. My sig line says it all

Glad y'all had a good time!
