Chicks CD ‘instantly classic’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Los Angeles — Long before the Grammys got around to handing out the final award of the night — album of the year — one of the contenders, one-time Atlantan and rocker John Mayer, was already boldly predicting the winner.
It wasn’t his own — and he was right: He picked the Dixie Chicks’ “Taking the Long Way.” Mayer called the Chicks’ record “an almost instantly classic album. … They used great songs as a weapon.”
Soul singer Van Hunt, who won his first Grammy for a performance with Family Affair, wasn’t quite sure how he was going to celebrate his award when he comes home to Atlanta: “I’m going to walk on the beach here first, and then I’ll think about it.”
A somewhat nervous Carrie Underwood greeted the print media while twirling a giant ring on her finger, defending her career launching pad:
The Grammys “kind of proved ‘American Idol’ can transcend the talent-show stereotype,” she said.
Underwood passed, though, on offering her thoughts on the Dixie Chicks’ country album win — despite country music radio turning its back on them. “Next question, please,” she responded. Pressed a little later, she added, “All I can really say is I’m happy for them.”
Rock pioneer Ike Turner, who turned more than a few heads with his unique fashion statement, let onlookers in on where they could get a lavender suit with gold studs just like his: “pawn shop!”
Contemporary gospel singer Kirk Franklin, who won two awards, revealed what he and his wife plan to do for Valentine’s Day: “We’re going to IHOP,” joked the married man of 11 years. “I’ve already made reservations.”
At the pre-telecast ceremony, 66-year-old jazz veteran Al Jarreau offered this moment in his personal Grammy history: “The first time I walked this red carpet, I ran this red carpet!” But “Now I’m kind of eeeeeasing.”
“American Idol” judge Randy Jackson took up (sort of) for fellow judge Simon Cowell, who thought onetime “Idol” contestant and now Oscar nominee Jennifer Hudson wouldn’t go anywhere: “Everyone has selective listening. … She was my wild card pick!”
Actress and longtime activist Ruby Dee, who shared the spoken word album award with President Carter, declined to offer her take on the country’s current political climate: “If I have a flag to wave, it’s going to be on the side of us as human beings.”
Rocker Jonny Lang basically said thanks for, er …
“I don’t consider this album to be as much of a gospel record as the other records in this category,” he remarked after winning the rock or rap gospel album category for “Turn Around.” “I didn’t think it would ever make this category.”
Music icon Tony Bennett graded the Police’s opening performance (“I think Sting really knocked everybody out of their seat”) and offered words of music biz wisdom ( “The best way to learn is to listen to the audience. The marketing people, I mean, I understand. … But when you listen to the audience it will tell you what they like”).
Cleveland rapper Krayzie Bone defended hip-hop mixtape DJs, who have come under legal fire lately, including two prominent Atlanta DJs recently arrested: “Let the DJs do what they’ve been doing. It’s just the way of the music. … To try and make it look like it’s some criminal activity, I don’t understand that.”

I’m so happy for the Dixie Chicks and standing up for their beliefs. Country radio stations were wrong to pull their music and it really doesn’t matter if they want to start playing it now. Chicks were right, Country Radio was wrong.
Congrats girls!

Weren’t the radio stations standing up for their beliefs when they made the decision to pull the Chicks music off the air? All these awards show is that anyone who diasgrees with the current administration and isn’t afraid to be vocal about it is going to be rewarded by the folks in Hollywood, regardless of any quality, substance or merit in their work. But to be fair, I wasn’t a big fan of the DC’s before all of the controversy anyway. And while I may not agree with what they said and the way they said it, I cannot deny them their right to say it. Isn’t that what the country was built on? Just my two cents.

Let’s face it the Dixie Chicks won all those grammys because the Bush/Republican/conservative hating media wanted them to win thats all. The majority of America whether they agree with the current administration do not agree with nor do the D.C’s represent their nasty toned beliefs. Forgive and forget? forgive them for their stupidity and immaturity but don’t forget their mean spirited rantings.

This is just another example of politics transcending talent. This has as much legitimacy as giving Carter the Peace Prize. The left falls all over itself as it congratulates people for “earning” recognition, while the rest of the world recognizes it is just another case of the lunatic left living in their own little, narrow-minded and smugly self-important world. We have a society that places more importance on “feeling” free, than actually working toward anyone “being” free.

As far as country music is concerned, the Grammy’s are a joke. The winners in the country categories always have been and always will be an expression of what non-country fans would prefer country music to be. They look down on mainstream country music and want something that is more palatable to them. They usually try to make a statement in their awards. What a joke. No self-respecting true country music fan pays them much attention. Only the “fringe” elements of country music afford them any credability at all.

Congratulations Dixie Chicks! The album is EXCELLENT! It is refreshing to see artists stand up for their beliefs and not compromise those beliefs for dollars. Whether one agrees with their viewpoint or not, this is the United States of America which guarantees FREEDOM of SPEECH. That freedom is what this country was built upon. Go CHICKS! KEEP GIVING YOUR OPINION(S)! It is YOUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT!

Screw the Dixie Twits. They’re winning is no different than Jimmy Carter’s totally unjustified win of the Nobel “Peace” Prize. Politics are so entwined in our lives that one set of advocates rewards their own loudest, and generally most obnoxious, partisans.

Amazing how the Dixie Chicks are winning country awards when they even admit they aren’t doing country music anymore. Could it be just maybe that the people who run the Grammy Awards are as liberal as anyone in the country and want to support a group that doesn’t like our president. Just perhaps.

Reply to EW… you make the point completely, its all about their political views its not about their music! The Grammy’s are just another meaningless pat on the back that hollywood loves to do. If you want to recognise the Chick’s for their politics go ahead. I think that a music award should be for music and not politics, if Al Gore had written or recorded a song this year he would have received a Grammy. Those overpaid and over appreciated folks in hollywood love to give themselves awards (Grammys, Academy, Tony, CMA, Golden Globe, etc). I personnally have grown tired of their mess and don’t care to hear what they think about anything let alone world politics!

Ya know, I didn’t LIKE their comments on foreign soil. But I could’ve handled that. Free Speech and all. At that point I had never bought any of their records, but didn’t mind when one of their songs came on the radio.
THEN they came on one of the awards shows and Ms. Maines was wearing the infamous FUTK shirt…
THAT is when I became radical anti-DC. They showed THEIR true colors in NOT supporting Toby Keith’s right to Free Speech. Then they want to cry and complain that those of us that refuse to listen to their “music” are not supporting their right to free speech????

Those claiming DC’s “Free Speech”:
When all this went down several years ago, Toby Keith had an INSTANT classic song out called “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American)” The bridge goes like this: Justice will be served and the battle will rage. The Big Dog will bite when you rattle his cage, and you’ll be sorry that you messed with the U S of A. ‘Cuz we’ll put a BOOT IN YOU A$$, it’s the American Way!
Natalie Maines was speaking out directly against this, and then wore the infamous “FUTK” shirt at a REMOTE FEED at an awards show… she didn’t EVEN have the courage to wear it at the same venue where everyone else was.
She was DENYING Toby Keith’s right to free speech.
So who’s the hypocrite NOW????

As a country music fan, I have never been a fan of the Dixie Chicks, I just don’t care for their music…never did. And while I don’t agree with their political views and feel that to go to a foreign country and slam our countrys leaders is absolutely wrong on so many levels. I value the fact that they have the freedon to speak their opinions. I also value the fact that I have Freedom of Expression and I choose to use that freedon my not supporting the Chicks by paying my hard earned dollars for their music. I feel that they made the comments they made to get attention and then wanted to whine and cry when the attention that they got was in the form of folks burning their albums and choosing to not buy albums or concert tickets. They absolutely have Freedon of Speach and I applaud them for standing up for themselves but I also applaud everyone who showed them what they thought of their politics by hitting them where it hurt most…in the pocketbook. I would be willing to bet that if Ms. Manes had any idea that they would lose so many fans and album and ticket sales, she would of kept her opinion to herself. I feel that you have every right to express your opinion, but you had better be prepared for everyone else to give you their opinion in return and she clearly did not anticipate the reaction her comments got.

Big deal. I’m still not ready to make nice. They are a disgrace to country music and should not be associated with it. Country musicians are supposed to be patriotic which they are not. Freedom of speech is one thing, but slander against the United States and the President are a different thing entirely. Country music does not need them. Just leave the country scene.

Wow … lotsa classy people here, really showing how free speech may always be free, but isn’t always well-advised. Horse-ugly? Socialist Chicks? The best the majority of you seem to be able to do is launch personal attacks and engage in revisionist recollections of what happened. Toby Keith, if you will recall, participated in smearing DCX. So Natalie Maines wore an FUTK shirt? Who cares? How does that in any way seek to silence Toby Keith? And while it is apparent that some people would like to forget it, these women faced death threats simply for speaking thier minds. That’s all. They expressed an opinion and then numerous people thought it was approriate to threaten to kill them, to harm their families. Would you be brave enough to continue to speak your mind in the face of all that? I somehow doubt it. But it’s a lot easier to sit back and type hate from your safe corporate cubicle on Monday morning than it is to speak your mind in public and bear the consequences.
Good job girls. Some people out here understand why what you did and continue to do is important, and we support you. Never be silenced.

I’ve ALWAYS maintained that not buying their records or supporting them in any way (including not listening to radio stations that play their music) was one thing, but that physical threats/ attacks were a COMPLTELY differnt matter and you should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law if you cross that line.

I think you may have forgotten exactly what Natalie Maines said. It was not just wearing an expressive t-shirt. She, in a foreign country stated that she was ashamed to be from Texas because that was where George Bush was from…..that may be her opinion, and she has the right to express it, but to go to a foreign country and express it publiclly is not acceptable….is she trying to become the new “Hanoi Jane”…..pretty much the same thing. But last night she definitely gave every one an “in your face” attitude. I think that was totally inapproritate. She could have and should have accepted the awards graciously like all of the other artists. That would have been the classy thing to do.

It is sad that a “real” country artist had to give up an award so that they could get an award. At least the real country artists are making money at their concerts and with record sales.

and the best she could come up with was a personal attack, specifically F*CK YOU?
TK didn’t launch a personal attack seeking to silence her opinion. He simply stated his own, saying (or implying) that she was aligned with Saddam INsane. He had every right to say that, just as she had every right to make her claims on foriegn soil. The DIFFERENCE is that SHE attempted to silence HIM, NOT the other way around. SHE, like typical liberals, will silence others’ opinions and then claim “free speech” when a backlash results.

Even TK himself came out and said that the death threats were taking it too far. Heck, he even claimed that it was a whole media frenzy and that he personally held no animosity towards DC until the FUTK shirt.
Point blank: TK never once tried to silence DC. DC DID try to silence TK. Yet DC is the one claiming THEY were silenced….

If an American speaks out against the current administration, why are they labeled unpatriotic? If we were unfortunate enough to live in another country where freedom of speech is not a right, we still are entitled to our opinions. I wish we would stop bashing anyone who doesn’t agree with the administration. Dissent is natural and healthy. Fine, you don’t like the Dixie Chicks and you don’t like what they said, but that doesn’t make them any less patriotic than you. I may not like what you say, but I respect your opinion. Being unpatriotic is the current assault against the Constitution and the rights guaranteed by it.

The Grammys awarded to the Chicks are meaningless. After all, who else would the liberal voters vote for. I doubt that very few even knew anything about the group. Only that they were against Bush and the military. If they are so talented and entertaining, why can’t they sell out concerts? Certainly, they lack the sophistication to succeed in any genre other than country.
