Members sonaboy Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 All i did was post a SOT thread about a thread the week before having to do with the Dixie Chix, and how their new album hit #1, in spite of all the "patriots" that hate them and boycotted them for joking about Bush, being fat, not being as cool as Toby Keith, etc. gotta love that "hands off" moderation. i guess their on topic policy is much more strict than HCFX.

Members PFDarkside Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 Damn ass O'Rieley. I agree with him sometimes, but what an ignorant comment. Oh, I forgot he's a country music critic. lol On this topic, I'm embarrased to say I like the new single. It was co-written by Charlie Robinson, and I love El Cerrito Place too, though. A pop-country boy can survive! (With some old school country on the side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pop-country boy can survive! (With some old school country on the side) I seriously don't care about the DC, i just thought it was funny in two instances that A) people STILL hold a grudge against a pop country trio that made some watered-down insult to the Prez five years ago. helloooooo..like you haven't met anyone who took a dig at Dubyah over the last 5 years?!?! B) the supposed boycott of the DC on country radio basically backfired and shot their new album to #1 the week it debuted. i love irony, especially when it comes to consumer activism. like how some fringe religious group smears some random album or book, and the item begins flying off the shelves.i love {censored} like that. ah well...whatever.

Members Seth Carmody Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 Sounds bizarre to me. Isn't Bush's approval rating wallowing in the low 30s? How can you honestly seek to contradict what the DC claimed (can't remember what they said exactly) in light of this fact? Sounds like the Bush's supporters are forcibly creating a diversion for themselves from having to acknowledge that their President is unpopular and the policies they supported have had little positive benefit for their country. I doubt any musical act would willingly claim to be pro-Howard here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
