I guess their show in the Saddledome will be a sellout?
Canada feels the Dixie Chick’s pain.
The author is perplexed by the public reaction to Natalie’s comments, since it should be obvious to even the densest country music fan that she was right!
That’s tough to figure out (the backlash against the DC comments - ed), especially when you factor into it things such as Bush’s low approval rating (now hovering just above 30%), the admission by a majority of Americans the Iraq war was a mistake (at 51% and rising) and even the discovery that most, if not all, justifications for the action were false (purposefully or not).
The best part, of course, is this nice little slap at Toby Keith and, by association, his fans:
He fed into, played up and relished his role as conservative country musician, and he, too, has spent the past couple of years selling out stadiums, winning awards and, now, spent the past nine weeks in the Billboard Top 50 with his appropriately titled album White Trash With Money.
Nice, eh? (< -mandatory use of “eh” for all postings originating in Canada).
I find it interesting that anyone who supports Bush or the military or the war in Iraq is just pandering to a conservative base - apparently the thought that they may actually support these things never enters into the equation.
