Sales for the Dixie Chicks' upcoming tour are far below expectations

Actually, the song was called "Goodbye Earl", and I thought it was a great song. They actually took a serious subject (killing an abusive pig wife beating bastard) and made a hilarious song out of it.

I agree. Great song. Written by one of the best pro songwriters out there, Doug Lynde I believe. Also wrote Presley's "Burning Love".

BTW, Rick Rubin produced the Dixie Chicks album. Look at the guy's track record. Does he work with anyone who truly sucks??

Yes, metallica.

OK, but that wasn't Rubin's fault. Bob Rock made them suck.

no metallica made metallica suck. they didnt have to do exactly what he said, ...just like no one blames Donn Landee for van hagar sucking, the band desides what to do

True. They were/are a lost cause when he took over.

Who didnt see that coming? They totally alienated their core fanbase.

It's just sad that anyone would even take what the tubby little one said two years ago seriously to begin with, never mind still getting upset about it.

They're entertainers.

I don't automatically think their ticket sales being lower than expected correlates to what they said about Bush, either. Concert ticket sales have been off the last few years for A LOT of mainstream acts...mostly because they are overpriced to begin with, so the people that would generally see a half dozen or more shows a year only go to see one or two now.

Anything more than $50 for a show is a ripoff, period. I don't give a shit WHO it is.
