No Movie for Dixie Chicks

http://www.drudgereport.com/flash4.htm

NBC's recent decision not to run the Dixie Chicks movie is a good one-for one reason the Dixie Chicks while talented musicians have no place on the main networks. There desire to continue political infighting with the right and most of midwestern america plus their old fan base is not good for the interests of a major network like ABC, CBS, or NBC.

The Chicks have a right to say what they want and do what they want and they certainly don't deserve death threats but then again-most celebrities don't deserve the death threats that they recieve from crazy people simply for being famous. It's the paradox of fame- a lot of people really love you and some people love you sooo much-they hate you. Throw in some inflamatory remarks at a trying time on the American psyche coupled with traitor like behavior on the part of the lead singer and it's no surprise people went nuts and threatened to kill the poor silly Natalie Maines.

She should have had more control and composure being a celebrity comes with responsiblity and the response should have been expected. At the very least she should have made the statements in the U.S. and not to a foreign audience-duh. The fall out has left the Dixie chicks with no where to go but more liberal and to loose their core audience and look for a new set of fans altogether-which may not be hard or may be career suicide. I suppose there are lots of liberal women who like country music and they are talented musicians...sooo. They may change their tune once they see how the bottom line suffers from reminding people of their ingnorant mistake.

I would still think the continuation of this strange event from 2003 is not good for the Dixie Chicks and at the least there management should be smart enough to know a documentarty on their Bush hating and fall from grace belongs on HBO or Showtime.
