They arent too smart thats for sure. They have pretty much alienated their country fans.

Before Natalie, the original 2 were there along with Robin Lynn Macy and Laura Lynch (I think those are their names). The original 2 played backup while Robin and Laura sang lead. If you're interested you can check out this page:

It's safe to assume that at least some Dixie Chicks fans have forgiven and forgotten, as 526,000 copies of Taking the Long Way sold its first week out. The disc tops the next Billboard album sales chart, bringing an end to rock's monthlong run at #1.

Wow, what an opening week. You almost never see a album sell over 500,000 in a week anymore.

BTW the Dixie Chicks are on Larry King tonight.

While early ticket purchases for their first major tour in three years are generally robust in Northeastern cities, initial sales have fallen short of expectations in numerous markets, especially in the Midwest and South, forcing some dates to be scrubbed.

By contrast, the group's latest album, "Taking the Long Way," opened atop the U.S. pop charts last week, selling 526,000 copies during its first seven days and remaining No. 1 in its second week to notch one of the year's strongest debuts.

But with many country music stations denying the Chicks airplay, box office business is off to a slow start in places where the group has sold out in the past, said Gary Bongiovanni, editor of concert industry magazine Pollstar.

According to Pollstar, dates in Memphis, Tennessee, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis, and Fresno, California, have been dropped from the tour schedule for now, while box-office sales also were canceled for Houston.

Billboard magazine reported that ticket counts for shows that went on sale last weekend were averaging 5,000 to 6,000 seats per date in major markets, and less in secondary locales. Arena capacities on the tour generally top 15,000.

"Basically, they're having to rethink the entire tour at this point," Bongiovanni told Reuters.

Good thing they sold a lot of CDs....

Sometimes I am embarrassed to be from the South. Close minded rednecks (the country music fans, not the Chicks).

Re: Dixie Chicks - Taking The Long Way

what makes a person close minded for skipping out on a concert? Does it hurt you? No... I didn't think so. I'm embarrassed to be sharing the same city with you right now, embarrassed to be from the South.... amazing.

I guess they ain't Dixie Chicks any longer.

I don't think it's that hard to leave somewhere, especially if you don't like it.

Country radio/Nashville is most likely one of the things I respect the least.
