To some, the voting served not only as a referendum on President Bush’s
handling of the Iraq war, but also on what was perceived as country
music’s rejection — and radio’s censorship — of the trio. - New York Times

A referendum? Grammy nominees are are voted upon by peers in the
famously anti-American entertainment industry. Duh. Country
Music did not reject them. Country music fans who buy music, and
who attend concerts rejected them. Radio stations that took them
off the air made a business decision. Their listeners demanded
it.
If you listened to the Chick's acceptance cluck, one of them did the Nelson Muntz Ha-Ha.
The audience laughed. Why? Because they were in on
it. The Chicks got their Grammies as a get-even gift .
Which of course is why Jimmy ''Freaking'' Carter also won a
Grammy for reading from his book. It doesn't matter that
everyone associated with him has disavowed the book, he's a vocal
Bush hater, and that's what counts for these idiots.

ReplyDeleteYou're right Rog, the lines are clearly drawn.

Speaking of lines clearly drawn, did you see/hear Bush today? Once he got past his stammering speech, he handled the press like a real champ. For the intellectually gifted press members who speechified their *questions* (each one trying to be the smartest on the planet) he handed them kindergarten level common sense answers. It was great. And all the while he was polite as could be. Especially when he cleared up a little mystery for them by saying, "Money trumps peace." Wham! Plus, the man has a real sense of humor.
ReplyDelete(yes. immigration is not his forte)
Agree with all above.
ReplyDeleteI liked it when the guy was trying to ask him about the Libby trial and he just said 'Not going to talk about it'
ReplyDeleteAnd then he offered to 'recycle' him if he could think of another question. Haha - it was great!

Didn't Hillary get a Grammy for reading "her" "book"?
ReplyDeleteWe've never been accused of playing that at prisoners in Gitmo, have we? Well, why not? Let's get on it, boys!
