Breaking news: Dixie Chick still bird-brained
Remember those three good-lookin’ chicks who sang in such perfect harmony and were at the top of the playlist for every country radio station across the South and much of the rest of the nation back a decade and more? No? Neither did I until they popped up recently on a few conservative news sites spouting the same sort of leftist drivel that destroyed their success a decade ago, when they poisoned their largely Southern and rural base by repudiating a president popular with that base.
This time, it’s even worse. Not only is lead vocalist Natalie Maines once again attacking a president whose programs are extremely popular with that part of America where her music genre is most listened to, but their manager is literally gloating over the idea that the entertainment industry is blacklisting those entertainers who agree to perform before the nation at the Trump inauguration. Emphasizing that any entertainers who agree to do so are putting their careers in deadly peril, Chicks manager Simon Renshaw said this with some relish:
If anyone does do it, I hope that the check that they get is in the nine figures. Because it’s probably the last check they’re ever going to get[.]
Renshaw’s mouthy charge, Maines, had this to say about the president-elect:
Just so you know…I’m ashamed the President elect is the President elect every single second of every single day.

Ever wonder why you don’t see many trained chickens? It has much to do with the very small size of their brains and their subsequent inability to remember hard lessons taught. The Chick in question here seems unable to remember what happened to her the last time she got cheeky and spouted leftist politics, thoroughly pissing off a very large segment of America – the same segment that just happened to buy and listen to her music. The Chicks were dropped from all the major stations and had to flee to Europe, where their leftist histrionics were better received.
American lefties may love the politics of the Chicks, but they do not listen to a lot of country music, so if the Chicks have managed to re-establish themselves with a few forgiving American audiences, you’d think they’d have found a button for Natalie’s lefty lip. But no, just look at that picture, folks, and tell me honestly that the term braying doesn’t pop into your mind. Ol’ Nat appears to be a fitting Democrat icon after all.
So two Chicks and a jackass can cohabit! Who knew?

I’d hit it.
Double-bagged with a liberal application of Febreeze and Lysol beforehand?
With an axe handle?
Here on Bragg we used to call her “Piggy!”
I recall yelling “Sooooooey” a few times at Bragg.
Musically, they had a beautiful sound.
But like most red-blooded Americans, when they went left-wing elitist pontificator, I quit listening.
I’m still not listening to her braying. She gives jackasses a bad name.
I always thought they sounded kind of whiny. Peter, Paul, & Mary were more obnoxious politically, but their voices were 1000 times better.
When you’re a leftist loser who fucked up your career being politically stylish, then go ahead and proclaim you won’t perform for Trump because, well you’re in the shit house anyway, you may as well get some print out of it. Retreads always blowout again.
Bitches!
She wont play for Trump like she wont play on Mars.
Wasn’t goint to get there anyway.
So success went to their pointy little heads and they imploded. Yeah, well, being self-absorbed is frequently the traveling companion for people like this.
The Ditzy Chips? I’d forgotten all about them until now, I wouldn’t even book them to play at a bus stop.
Their CDs mostly are used for targets at outdoor ranges. So, at least they’re semi-useful.
But, as entertainment? Not at all.
Didn’t a whole bunch of people mail them their CDs at the time? I think I remember hearing about that.
Yeah, some folks mailed their CDs back to them, some rolled over the CDs with a road rollers, and some used them for targets.
I remember when some music store chain went out of business in the early 2000’s and were having fire sales, in the Country/ Western section the selection was pretty thin except for the Ditzy Chips albums, they couldn’t even give them away back then!
MadTV had their number 9 years ago and it’s still relevant:
@ MARTIN JUMPER :
I enjoyed watching that.
Thank you for posting it.
Twunts.
Good riddance.
It will get warm again in a couple months, and the DC’s can get back onto the County Fair circuit.
I’m a Country Music fan. I also like Celtic Punk, Metal, “alternative” Punk, Classic Rock, damn near anything except boy bands, J/K-Pop, and “gangsta” rap.
I didn’t like this group when they were popular. They sounded whiny as fuck, they emphasized their man-hate in too many songs and generally sounded way too full of themselves, and I don’t think their vocal harmony sounded particularly good. When they came out as flaming leftists, my response was: “Why the fuck should I care? They sound like shit and I wouldn’t listen to them anyway.”
They weren’t relevant then, and they’re even less so now.
TOW,
Recommend that you please go over to the ‘Phillip Lorne Lovin; phony Marine colonel’ post and take a look at that guy’s additional history of posing as a NYC Firefighter. He was ultimately busted by a retired Captain from the NYC Fire Department.
Thanks and Semper Fi.
Are they all lesbians or just that Maines fellow?
Awesome!
^^^^ding ding ding
I think you are supposed to refer to them as Zee, or Zilch or some such now days.
Shitheads gotta be shitheads…their version of “Landslide” was pretty good for me, but beyond that I couldn’t pick these women out of a lineup if my life depended on it…
They are certainly free to espouse their views publicly just as we are free to avoid buying their products or supporting them. Amazing how they dropped right out of sight and apparently will once again disappear into the darkness from whence they came.
Stevie Nicks did a better “Landslide”.
No argument from me, but the Chicks version isn’t a bad cover…beyond that I don’t know if I could name a single tune of the Dixie Chicks…I know very little about country music beyond the likes of Hank WIlliams Sr and Johnny Cash….not a genre I listen to a lot, I don’t mind the music it was just never music my band I played so I spend more time listening to the stuff we were doing and these days I tend to listen to odd shit, existential new age sounds that provide a background noise that’s relatively quiet without actually being silence….and other times I still like some old school Cream/ELP sort of loud rock and roll, before autotune made mediocre singers and bands play decently.
America will vote with their wallets once again, and Natalie will screech about how we’re all inbred redneck trailer trash for not buying her music. Natalie, there’s nothing to be learned from the mule’s second kick. The mule ain’t the problem. It’s you.
That’s funny, “inbred trailer trash” was my initial impression of her.
It’s ding-dongs like this that give trailer a bad name.
Right on queue all of America haters are coming back out. From Olberman and the overrated chicks. These people’s hatred of America is hilarious.
And, Code Stink crawled out of whatever rock they were hiding under. Because, Republicans.
Dirty whore looks like she’s morphing into a Miley Cyrus zombie or something. Shut your blow hole no one cares what you think.
The Erwin sisters were cuties, but Maines was butt-ugly-as-sin from Day One. It don’t matter though, because they’re all idiot proggies who should’ve just disappeared for good and then stayed gone…
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to the Dixie Chicks.
For me, GENUINE Country Music died out when Opryland was created, and so-called Country Western music merged with the new versions of Rock ‘n’ Roll to become the contemporary “Pop” music.
I like the OLD Grand Ol’ Opry when it was performed in the historic Ryman Auditorium, which was where I saw it in person when I was on leave from the old Republic of Viet Nam.
What I like are, “Oldies, But Goodies”, in both Country Western and Rock ‘n’ Roll venues.
If I can’t understand the words that are being sung, or I can’t sing it while strumming my guitar, then I ain’t interested.
I figured they declared bankruptcy years ago. I don’t know of anyone that’s listened to anything from them in ages.
Okay, blacklisting entertainers during the 1950’s because of their association with communists was bad, but blacklisting entertainers in 2017 because of the conservative political leanings is good. Do I have that right?
You are correct, sir.
As with racism, it’s okay when they do it.
correct, only conservatives, libertarians and occasional Lutherans are baaaad.
Liberals, Episcopalians, and communists are goooood…
you left out Baptists – but I guess we are not just baaaad, but uber-BAAAAAAAAAAD-EVIL-WICKED
at least per the mediots and leftists
Yes, Baptists are baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad…but only to be trotted as a target for specific things.
The rest are normal, everyday, all reasons targets…
LOL
“Oh. That thsounds reathsonable.”
(in my best Sylvester voice)
It’s like night of the living dead, Trump gets elected, and all the “notables” rear up and start wailing about how awful it all is. This looks like another attention whoring attempt to be important.
Where has sweetheart been, since she and her coven self destructed? Prayer and fasting? Doing good works for the underserved?
Gosh, somehow I doubt it.
Kinda pathetic.
Guess it’s back to county fairs for her.
I remember when that happened and I thought to myself ” your freaking kidding me, are you expecting the good ol boys that are your audience to put up with that”? I also remember the immediate and fierce backlash that followed, their attempt to brazen it out with the Free Speech fallback and the picture of them painted up like an American Flag then disappearing from the scene. I’d forgotten all about the Dixie Chunks as has most of America.
What? The one singing isn’t a dude, or dude trying to be a chick or what ever the hell Chastity Bono turned into?
I guess they never heard the best way to lose friends/fans in this case is to talk politics & religion.
Bitches.
Natalie Maines – another “entertainer” that needs a cunt punt through the goalposts of life!
Damn… that pic of “it” looks scary dikeish, like she’s a charter member of the Lesbian “Strap-On Tools Club”. I wouldn’t hit it with IDC SARC’s schnitzengruber!
Actually don’t knock it till you’ve done it, some of those girls go wild with real dick…and it’s a lot of fun…I’ve met more than a few “lesbians” who are pretty much good to go in either direction.
It’s not a bad thing, it just expands your horizons.
More Breaking News:
Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
The Chick with Dicks broke from country a lot time ago, even if you considered it “Country”.
Financially it didn’t really hurt them a bit. They are just raking it in from a different group of fans.
Their opinion carries about as much weight with me as the lady cashier at the 7-11
A lot of what the suits push as “Country” is not. Which is another topic – how the suits in the music industry are only concerned with the $, not with the music as music.
Personally, I’ve been listening to a lot more bluegrass lately – not that it is without it’s suit problems.
