from the link:

The international press won't get their first look at the documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing until its gala premiere at the Toronto Film Festival tonight. But EW.com got an early look at the sure-to-be-controversial doc in Los Angeles and can attest that the film will continue to bring the (ex?) country trio more plaudits from progressives and further condemnation from conservatives. And if you think singer Natalie Maines had some harsh words for President Bush in public, wait till you hear what she had to say about him behind the scenes.

In one memorable scene, Maines watches news footage of the president being interviewed about the furor that followed the singer's on-stage comment that she was ''ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas,'' which resulted in the group being dropped from most radio stations, as well as protests and plummeting sales. ''The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind,'' Bush told Tom Brokaw at the time, adding, ''They shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records when they speak out. You know, freedom is a two-way street.''

After watching this footage, Maines repeats the president's comment about how the group shouldn't have their ''feelings hurt,'' incredulous, and then says, ''What a dumb f---.'' She then looks into the camera, as if addressing Bush, and reiterates, ''You're a dumb f---.''

5. Ehhhh, Yawn.

Not sure why that's really a big deal. Not only is he a dumb fuck, but every one of us here call him that on a daily basis.

Now if she was out in the streets each day using her influence to demand impeachment, and using proceeds from her albums and movies to finance democrats, then I'd probably give more of a fuck.

13. Maybe she does? The Dixie Chicks have lost revenue for

speaking out about being ashamed of ** claiming to be a Texan. Seems that they inadvertently have sacrificed a lot already.

6. Speaking of the Dixie Chicks

My conservative boss said that their concerts suffered because of that whole controversey, while I said that overall, they weren't affected financially. Anyone know what the eventualy outcome was of all this?

9. I don't have the numbers but...

Some of their red state concerts were cancelled due to lack of sales. There is a sub plot here though, I read that outlets would not sell their tickets, because radio stations were not participating.

They did schedule more concerts in blue states and Canada and did well, though not quite as well. They have been doing great at iTunes and set some records for downloads.

All this is memory of hearsay, but I would bet they are doing pretty well.

15. Can anyone recommend a "Chicks" CD?

Gotta try at least one of their CDs since they're not afraid to speak out!

Prefer studio instead of live.

16. I like them all, but you might want to get their Live album from their

Top of the World tour. I have that album and love it--it's got a nice sampling of their music from several albums.

I really don't think you could go wrong with any of their albums, but you might find a larger proportion of "favorites" on the double live CD. I have to admit I haven't listened to all of their newest one (Taking the Long Way), but you might consider buying it, since it's their first since the big hoo-hah.

Edited: grammar

17. Thanks. Will probably try "Taking the Long Way" first. (n/t)
