Hi musicnoth, I have thought about you and wondered if you were still coming on here. Good to see you and also Twittle. I have to say this format is a poor sub for what we used to have. Don't know why it was changed. It took me forever to figure out the system here. Neither do I listen much to country anymore and agree that some of it is so bad. I hardly know the newer singers. I don't think I watched CMA 2008 but definitely
saw 2009, and thought it good. Some good humor. I fully expected Taylor to pick up all the awards she received. I would give anything if the Chicks would come back but understand that as time passes, it gets harder with their families growing, etc. Also, I
think they just needed to escape for awhile. Sorry about Emily's divorce. Musicnoth,
you wrote the nicest message one day before all this changed and I never got the chance
to respond. But I appreciated so much the nice things you said. You are a special lady.
Sincerely, ozarkgirl
she got.

I'm eagerly awaiting the Chix's next album. Like many of you, I wonder why their freedom of speech needs to be stifled by certain political extremists while President Obama's critics are a thousand times more virulent and nobody says anything. The Chix are great musical artists and their music is a blessing to everyone. Come back soon, Chix --- we LOVE you!!

Dixie Chicks: come back! The industry needs you and we need more of that great music that you once produced! You guys deserve to continue your careers, you were far from finished making music when that whole thing happened with Natalie's comments on Bush. You had a right to say whatever you wanted to say - more people support you than you realize. Bring yourself out of exile - come back to us, please!

Their last release was The Neighbour. I REALLYYYYY hope they release another album! Super women!

It's so funny reading some of these posts. "Freedom of speach, but!" there is no buts or ifs for Freedom guys! Dixie Chicks will live in our hearts and the heart of America. They had the guts to stand up to the tyranny. I tell you a story and give a link to something amazing: My daughter, was only two and a half years old when she caught the spirit of their song. I used to take her back from the daycare couple of days a week and played Dixie Chicks new CD without paying atttention to the lyrics of the songs. It was played only once or twice/day. soon, I noticed that my daughter is singing the song with such strong emotions. It was then that I listened carefully and got the lyrics. This was amazing! Here is the link:

Regarding Fossilman's caustic comment, how can we respect the opinion of someone who doesn't even respect their country enough to learn the language? "...but​ theirs​ a​ time​..." Yes, THERE's a time and place and it was THEIR right to express their feelings at that particular time and place -- just as it's yours to write whatever you want here. If you're going to criticize other people for exercising their right to free speech, at least take the time to do it in a manner that demonstrates to people that American's aren't just mindless mouthpieces. I hope the Dixie Chicks are finally able to put the trite and inappropriate attacks in perspective. Recall that both Robert Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower warned us against "warmongers" like George Bush Jr., and history has proved them both right. History has also proved the Chicks right. Now we all know, or should, that Bush and his profit-minded cabinet entered into the war so they could steal oil and profit from the conflict, and they still don't care that they're doing so with the blood of our patriots. Please don't take my word for it, do just a little research of your own. When are the chicks going to ask Bush for his apology to them and this country for shaming not just us native-born Texan's but all of America?

You guys, who cares???? The Chicks are talented, they're great musicians and singers- Natalie did not put her foot in her mouth - she told it like it was!!! Really, it got blown way out of porportion!!

Can't wait for their return. It's amazing the losers that country labels sign, ALL of those on the Can You Duet show were better than the crud I'm watching on GAC right now.

such a double standard in our country.......

talented women...................come back.

They have to learn to keep their mouths shut! We do have freedom of speech,but theirs a time and place to express your opinions,they found out it wasn't the time nor the place!
They have lost millions of dollars and slow concert tours with ticket sales in the USA because of their views!
They are great singers,but they blew it..............No pity from me at all!!!

Sherry, Dubya has been gone a long time, too, but even HE has supporters, so anything's possible.

I really miss them too,it's been too long!

I wish they would make a huge come back I have been listing to the ols CD's and some of the tracts dont play anymore. I miss the those girls so much. love the dixie chicks

They have gone far away. I haven't been here for a long time and find it amusing that there are still supporters.

Annie,

I won't listen to country radio anymore either, but it's more than feeling disgust for country's politics and unforgettable behavior since 2003. The music just isn't worth listening to. I can enjoy about 5 country artists, but most of the rest are below mediocre. The artists who still "fit" country's mold are played on mix stations, so any radio time means I hear any country music somewhere besides country stations. (P.S. LOVE your dogs in the photo!)

i can probably say we won't see a new album this year!!! Maybe 2010- they took 4 years between Home and TTLW

We want the Dixie Chicks! They are sorely missed. I have to listen to their CDs or catch them on XM radio. I refuse to listen to country radio. Country music radio and country stars should be ashamed of their own behavior during all of this. What is allowed to happen to one can happen to all, unless someone stands up. So they are not safe from behavior they have themselves displayed.

I've been going through this too lately.. You won't find a bigger Dixie Chicks fan out there than me, but I'm sick of having to wait and wait for something new to come out. A few months back when I heard that Martie was putting out solo stuff, I got kinda freaked out and emailed Keith Sewell who played guitar for them on the past two tours. He said that there's nothing to worry about and the Chicks will be back with new music but only they know when, and that Marties solo stuff was going to be great. So I guess he would know what he was taking about since hes helped with Martie's album. I kinda hope that the next album shows Martie and Emily off more than TTLW did because with that we didn't really get the amount of fiddle and banjo that we did before, but I'm just ready for something new, and especially a new tour.
