So Pete, how do you like your boy in the White House now? Too many F*****P's to mention.

Barry, it was the people that rejected the Dixie Chicks. If any president had the power to shut down commercial radio we would have no commercial radio.

The last person that tried that was Lyndon Johnson who was getting ripped apart by a small radio station down it Texas. Rumor has it that he got the FCC to put undue pressure on the Station until finally the radio station was "Aquired" by Lady Byrd Johnson.


Ray, I've been playing the blues. I played at the Waterfront Blues Festival on a bill with Tim(Too Slim)Langford, Ellen Whyte, and Joe Louis Walker. It's billed as the largest Blues Festival West of the Mississippi. Other wise just playing around town and at the yacht harbor on the Columbia.

What do you mean nobody had the guts to badmouth Bush? He didn't even win the popular vote and lost the election except for the Supreme Court intervention. Obama didn't vote for the War - that's why he got elected instead of Hillary. Oh. well she'll be our next President. Except for that idiot Tony Blair none of our main allies went along. One of my good friends who was a Quaker protested the war for 5 years until he got too old to stand on the street corner. Bush was a phony from the start, I knew that. I can't think of anything that he did that he didn't fail at, other than father some daughters.

Obama f-ups? Really? You need to quit watching the phony news on Fox.

The Dixie Chicks were x'ed by the former executives of Clear Channel (conveniently located in Texas) not by any ground swell from fans. For me that was the end of writing for that market. I even wrote a prophetic song about it called "You won't play this" on your radio. One of the lines was " Your so-called social security is going down the deficit drain" (you might remember we had budget surpluses under Clinton for a couple of years, until Bush gave big tax breaks to his rich friends) I'll post the song on the mp3 forum so you can argue with it. mad love or play it here
