Unless they can get a handle on who their demographic is, they are done. They've become kind of a crossover act, and I think the middle one aspires to be aligned more with Hollywood than with Nashville. She never paid the dues the other two did; I wonder how the other two feel about this whole situation...

Give me a break......Sheen is in his 60s; the Dixie Chicks are in their twenties. They have good instincts......you haven't heard the end of their anti Bush sentiment. <g> Then they are idiots. And they think you and Bush are idiots.......so you're even. BTW they are laughing all the way to the bank. <g> They can have whatever views they want, but music is a business and they are dumb when it comes to that. Unless they can get a handle on who their demographic is, they are done. Are they? The concerts are selling out. Apparently, not all their fans believe in burning CDs to protest the Dixie Chicks' opinions on Bush which is their right as American citizens. You do understand they have the right to speak out? I know FOX and the GOP can make that right seem somewhat problematical. ted

DIXIE CHICKS sell out tour, no effect by boycott. Yes! Chicks Tix Going Quick Despite Bush Controversy Mon Apr 21, 6:57 PM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Ray Waddell NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Billboard) - Despite some backlash at radio and retail for negative comments about President Bush (news - web sites), the Dixie Chicks (news - web sites) are flying high in preparation for their upcoming arena tour, according to Rob Light, the act's agent. Reuters Photo "To be brutally honest, there has been no effect, other than the odd phone call to a building inquiring about a refund. There's a lot more noise than action," says Light, head of the music division at Creative Artists Agency. "Actually, the buildings are getting more asking, if there are refunds, can they buy the tickets." Light says there are no refunds. He says that of 59 shows, only six have seats left, and those are all 85%-90% sold out and expected to go clean.
