Al Gore's been nominated for both an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize, and I'm ready to bet the rent that he'll win both.

And isn't it amazing how they are suddenly golden at the Grammys as a country group after denying any relation to country music? Feh indeed.

Nobody I know is and the only way to hear them on a country radio station is on XM. I agree that the Grammys were making a definite statement last night. On the other hand, here's this to make your day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTuwBw9q3Sw&eurl= Put down the drink and step away from your glass. Who the &&^$ is buying their records?

My take was the same as SJS - I thought the win was as much about politics as talent. No radio station in this part of the country has played their music since Natalie ran her mouth about President Bush. I liked their music, so I was doubly ticked off at them. I refuse to listen to them, spend any money on them, or look at them now. No more award shows for me. My one word comment when I heard this wasn’t as polite as yours, Lex.

The Ditzy Chicks' revenue has been depleted by almost 80%. They had a huge tour they started last year that was cancelled due to lack of interest. Not enough folks showed up to even rent the venues. The Blue cities did show their support but it was not even to fund the whole tour. Country music tried to cut them some slack thinking the little fat one would make some amends. The answer from them? "Not Ready To make Nice" and refuted any association with Country and basically told us that all of us that still love country music we were nothing more than "bigoted Joe Six Pack rednecks". Guess how well that went over? But that's OK, we've got Carrie Underwood and all is well. First words out of her mouth last night when she won Best New Artist (or female artist or something) was "I LOVE Country Music and would like to say thanks starting at the top.... with God"! heh! And she ain't bad on the eyes neither! ;-) CPT J? The Ditzy Chicks’ revenue has been depleted by almost 80%. They had a huge tour they started last year that was cancelled due to lack of interest.
