Just by fluke stumbled onto the Dixie Chicks website and listened to their new single :

Not Ready To Make Nice

http://www.dixiechicks.com/default2006.asp

WOW

Really like the song, and I don't mind saying the thinking behind it too....

If this isn't Browncoat music, don't know what else would come even close.

Talented ? Yep, but they've lost me as a fan. Couldn't care less what they title their album. ' Not Ready to Make Money ' for all I care.

Talented? No, I think cheesy. They kind of seem like a bunch of shock-artists. The only song they ever did that I ever thought had any degree talent was Landslide, which was a Fleetwood song, not theirs; they didn’t even perform it as well as Fleetwood Mac. I don’t guess they are any worse then most other pop-star groups, most of which are pretty cheesy. In twenty years, I doubt they’ll be particularly remembered, certainly not for their music.

It's a pretty good song. I wish they'd presented this attitude when all the fuss was brewing. I was disappointed when they went into damage control mode. Fans who will piss themselves at the thought of political strife aren't worth having. But I guess money is. Still, I'd probably have counted myself as a fan if they'd just told all the paper-patriots to fuck off.

"I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over."

Translation: The Dixie Chicks made some controversial political statements. At least one parent encouraged her daughter to write nasty mail to the Dixie Chicks. In that mail, the Dixie Chicks were urged to stay out of politics or they'd face dire consequences. They have responded with this song.

In short: I have a right to speak my mind without having my life threatened.

I wonder just how much of that was the label trying to spin things.

I suppose by not telling the " paper patriots " ( I like the term ) to fuck off, they were respecting that there are other opinions, seems to me they took the high road there, and those who threw the ape shit patriot hissy fits showed themselves for what they are really about.

" I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should "

Despite knowing what they are actually singing about, I still get this picture of Mal and Zoe when I hear some of these lyrics.....

I wonder if those lines were an intentional reply to Laura Ingrahams book....

I disagree w/ what they say, even if I think they sound fine when the sing. They can tell anyone they want to fuck off, and we'll just not buy their music. It's that simple.

Ahh... I bet you're right.

It's interesting to me, because singers, actors and the like spouting off about politics has always seemed kind of silly to me. But not as silly as people taking them seriously when they do. They're just folks like the rest of us, with their own opinions - right or wrong.

I guess the thing is, I don't look to artists for political advice, so when their opinions differ from mine its a non-issue. But all that assumes a context of freedom of speech, which seems make a lot of people uncomfortable these days.

As an afterthought, it's somewhat surprising that Joss Whedon hasn't received more backlash for the relatively political message of "Serenity".

You can buy or not buy whatever you want, but if they want to speak out against something they feel is wrong...

Do you think they should not have that right ?

Do you think threats, ranting, and burning of CD's over a difference of opinion is what your country is all about ?

Just who are you including into your " we won't buy " ?

Did you NOT read what I just posted ? Hell, you copied my post, but I don't think you read what was written. How could you have missed what I said?

me -> They can tell anyone they want to fuck off, and we'll just not buy their music. It's that simple. Note the words I used, and how I put them together.

Now, where did you get the idea in your noggin that I wanted to deprive anyone of their rights? How can you read my words, and then process that info in your brain and still have any question that I might want to limit anyone's freedom of speech? How do you even get from A to B ??

Just who are you including into your " we won't buy " ? You want a list ? Why would you even care? Are you going to go out and buy several copies to counter my NOT buying just one ? Fine by me! I hope you do. But wait, you don't know what artist / actors, etc I'm not buying. Hmmm....guess you'd better start buying up ALL of the DVDs, CDs and concert tickets you can, just to cover all your bases!

Gino’s comments reminded me of how this whole controversy played out. The Dixie Chicks made some statement which offended their fans who in return responded with their own set of statements, which in many cases meant no longer being fans. This was a perfect example of how freedom of speech is supposed to work. That should have ended it. Everyone should be happy, at least with regard to freedom of speech.

However, the pro-Dixie Chick camp (i.e. generally fanatical Bush critics who usurped the debate for their own agenda) often twisted the argument to be that the Dixie Chicks not only had a right to speak their point of view, but also the right to do so without any response from those that disagree with them. What I remember thinking is that this controversy basically demonstrated how little respect these people, who hid behind freedom of speech, actually have for freedom of speech.

This is a great assessment of the backlash of anger that occured due to the Dixie Chick's comments. You're right though, it wasn't so much a freedom of speech issue. It was a blind patriotism issue, and sad commentary on the petty and insecure sense of pride that many Americans feel these days.

That’s your assessment, and it’s debatable, but regardless, fans of the Dixie Chicks have as much right to their opinion as the Dixie Chicks did. Attacking the character of people who choose not to be fans of the Dixie Chicks is no better or mature then attacking the character of the Dixie Chicks for their opinion.

Where is the blind patriotism? That doesn't even make any sense. Please elaborate.

I'll take a guess at the blind patriotism.

George Bush has proven time and again just about everything the Dixie Chicks were saying.

Yet you still don't agree with any of it, because...

I'll take another guess. Their message was, in your estimation, 'anti-american', but how Mccarthyite can you get?

It's American to have an opinion. It's American to be able to criticize your government. It's American to police your own damned officials and not to just assume that corruption by your own party is 'unthinkable.' You should never stop thinking it, and you should never accuse people who criticize government of anti-americanism, unless truly, you want to help to erode dissenting voices in this country.

That's what our country exists for and by.

Blind Patriotim is a direct attack on that. When you somehow muddle a political attack on our government policies and extend that attack to our troops and our country. That's nationalistic drivel, and if people want to go down that road of Government worship, then how the hell are you going to continue to distinguish us from any other country?

Government criticism, especially in a time of war isn't hate. It's love. Love for the values we think America is supposed to stand for, and when we see those values getting cast aside, it's our duty as Americans to voice our concerns.

Finn,

your memory is lacking.

This story was all day news on every news station. It was a national scandal, and that's what the rest of us were raliing against....the absurdity of your witch hunt...this wasn't a matter of just record sales and people speaking with their dollars. It was a matter of the media painting the Dixie Chicks as Traitors. Do we really have to revisit the equivalent of the red scare every few decades in this country? Jesus, no wonder its so easy to do. We Have no long term memory. "Mcarthyism? What's that?"

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

I'm sorry, I read a short review of the book you pointed out and it lead me to the conclusion the author feels that anyone who doesn't think the way she does is not welcome to have an opinion in " Her America ", just because you pointed the book out it was unfair of me to assume you felt the same way, I apologize...

I was going to start making comparisions between that viewpoint and censorship in China, and how fuuny it is that many of the people whp preach these ideas in the US have a real hard on for tough anti China policy... but you have made it clear we actually agree more so on this point than the author of that book.

Oh, and the we thing... I was having a similar disagreement with someone else who kept saying " we " and I asked, as I asked you and the response I got was " any real American "... so by extention I asked if that meant if anyone disagreed with him they weren't " real Americans " and so on.

Just trying to be clear

I guess part of the question is where one can draw the line how far one can go to protest policy, my feeling is publicly speaking out is good, debate is healthy ( as long as it is respected ) the other side of the line is for example when US soldiers were called babykillers and spat upon by protesters.... that sort of action can and should not be tolerated. I can respect people plotting civil war and overthrow of a government more so that crap like that.

So where do you feel the lines should be drawn ? where does the right to protest policy come up against both the states right to preserve order and anothers individual right to disagree with the protestor ?

The banning of artists on radio stations, etc is along way from letting the public decide the issue with their money... I wasn't really all that familar with McCarthy and all not being from the US myself, but after watching Clooneys Good Night and Good Luck their were some really strange parawells. I remember wondering at the time whether the script was slanted to highlight current day McCarthy like crap or whether everything went down just like the movie.

I love how you twist it so it was only the Chicks and their fans' fault. I'm no fan of country music, or them, so let me clear that up before I get called as one of their loyal fanbase.

Had they made their criticism, and lost fans, as you state, it should have ended there. But you take issue with lefties corrupting their message without taking issue with what this song refers to - the fact that when they made the comments, they got death threats from the right-wing side of the aisle. I heard an interview with Natalie Maines (sp?) on the radio, and that's what the new song refers to. They were blacklisted from country radio (which should never have happened) and had threats made against the lives of their families. Instead of saying, 'hey, we respect your right to say things we don't agree with,' they were called traitors or worse.

So take the liberal bash somewhere else, because two sides were guilty here, not just one. Republicans are just as guilty of hiding behind hate speech as any Dems are.

On Laura's book, Shut Up and Sing, I think it's a valid position she takes. That entertainers think their opinions carry more weight than anyone else simply because of who they are - entertainers. Like they honestly have a grasp on what is going on in the world. Alice Cooper admitted as such, that he was a rock star, not a politician. What the hell do rock stars know ( I'm paraphrasing his words ) about anything other than music, drinking, drug use and womanizing? Nothing!

And just because we have the freedom to speak out, doesn't always make it right. Certainly I'm opposed to Gov't censorship. Please don't get that impression that I'd favor it at all. But being contrarian for the mere sake of taking an opposing view point doesn't strike me as being terribly noble. If one is well informed or passionate about something, they should take the time to understand the issue. Sadly, most don't. Most tend to read 1 article or see a few soundbites worth of news, and suddenly they feel 'enlightened'. It's pathetic.

My witch hunt? I never boycotted the Dixie Chicks or stopped buying their music or attending their concerts because of their remarks or told anyone else to do so, not that any of that represents a witch hunt. Though I suspect that doesn’t really matter to you. I suspect that you accuse me of a witch hunt based purely on the fact that I won’t ridicule the people who didn’t agree with the Dixie Chicks? Which kind of makes this your witch hunt, right?

Would you like me to take issue with it? Alrighty then. I don’t think the Dixie Chicks are traitors, I think they’re rich girls who don’t have a clue what their talking about and like many people who don’t know what they’re talking about, they say stupid stuff that might come back and bite them in the ass, like it did in this case. Like it does all the time with celebrities.

As far as death threats are concerned, I’m not aware that any such thing occurred, but if it did, it certainly doesn’t represent what I think, nor do I think it represents the vast majority of people who disagreed with the Dixie Chicks. And anyone who did make death threats or any other kind of threats to the Dixie Chicks is probably an asshole who deserves to be smacked upside the head.

As far as being blacklisted from Country Music Radio. I have no problem with that. At. All. Country Music Radio has every right to decide which musicians they will play. There are all kinds of musicians out there who will never be played on the radio for reasons that have nothing to do with stupid comments they made; I’m not the least bit concerned that the Dixie Chicks, who have acquired a vast wealth and fame, won’t be played on the radio. Though I suspect that was only temporary.

And as far as taking issue with this particularly song, I haven't even heard it so why would I take issue it or what it's about?

I'm not a country music fan, altho I do like the country and do like music. This song is more accoustic and a little less twang.

Dixie Chicks "Not Ready To Make Nice"
Full-length Audio

I can't see anything wrong with 'em. They look ok to me.

Quote:
I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

Lyrics are noway hardcore. Don't know about the rest of album.

Funny how Jewish Clear Channel bans their radio music (and banned 100s of other songs after 9/11), then promotes and profits from all their concerts. Like Bush Sr buying Eminem and Jadakiss (Why?), after they sang songs accusing Jr Bush of bombing USA on 9/11 - just like he bought Serenity, to profit again from MKULTRA Project Monarch CIA slavery.

I don't care for Eminem's or Jadakiss' music, but I do appreciate those two songs. Same for Rolling Stones' My Sweet Neocon, by Sir Mick Jagger Knight of the British Empire.

Eminem - Mosh music video:
www.eminem.com/html/

Oops, sorry, Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the British Empire has now censored "his" Mosh music video (Carlyle Group owns Universal Studios which owns Interscope Records which owns Eminem's music). MTV bans music from MTV, and only shows fake reality shows and Police State propaganda now. MTV even banned NIN from winning an award, for daring to post a giant mugshot of Jr Bush.

But you can see Eminem's Mosh on my weekly TV show archives:
www.piratenews.org/video-archive.html

Here's another MTV "reality" show host who's BANNED from singing music on MTV:

Quote:
Song: State Of The Union
Artist: Xzibit (host of MTV's Pimp My Ride)
Album: Weapons of Mass Destruction
(not in Xzibit's movie XXX: State of the Union)

(applause)

And now a message from the President of the United States

(George W. Bush actual voice remixed)

Tonight I wanna take a few minutes to dicuss a great threat to peace. The dictator who is assembling the world's most dangerous weapons, is here in our own country. He is a homicidal dictator, who is addict to weapons of mass destruction. He has proven he is capable of any crime. The tyrant is me. I have directed the administration to support the use of violence against all of you. I will kill thousands, or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country and across the world. I um, resolve to bring sudden terror and suffering with horrible poisons, and diseases, and gases. Men and women, boys and girls, thousands of civilians will be killed in a single day, murdered at random, and with out remorse. My ultimate ambitions are to control the peoples of the United States, and to blackmail the rest of the world with weapons of mass terror. Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Alot of bands are piling on the Bush Gang, but Clear Channel and all other mainline networks ban those songs. In the case of Jadakiss, they actually censored the word "BUSH" from the song "WHY", when Jadakiss sang "Why did Bush knock down the Towers?" In Knoxville TN, the song said "Why did ... knock down the Towers?"

On Gen Zinni, it's not uncommon for folks to be at the top of their pay grade and still have opposing view points. I recall there was a huge rift between the heads of the Air Force and the Army , back during the 1st Gulf War. The AF guy was pushing for more bombing runs, and felt the accuracy of the ordinance being used would, given time, do the job of forcing Saddam's troops to surrender. The head of the Army saw things a different way. He wanted to suspend bombing yesterday, and move in w/ 'boots on the ground.' His philosophy was that bombing had its purpose, but that eventually land forces needed to roll in and physically take the territory in order to control it.

Same war, same troops, same objective, same side, same everything, but these 2 guys came from completely different view points.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,

Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men.

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
THEY shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land

And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
No No No No No No No No
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

God Bless Neil Young

But why does it take a 60 year old Canadian musician to generate political activism in America?

Steve Watson
Prisonplanet.com UK
April 22 2006

As an avid Neil Young fan of a few years now I am so happy to see him take an important stance against the criminal NeoCons in the White House and the illegal activities they are perpetrating at home and elsewhere.

Known for his straight talking, confessional lyrical style, Young will hold back nothing on hastily penned new album "living with war" which will be an all out assault on the Bush crime syndicate.

It seems that Young has woken up from his slumber and realised that the unconscionable actions of the criminal elite must be addressed and not simply sugar coated and quietly accepted as part of a "post 9/11 mentality".

The centerpiece of the album is surely the song entitled "Let's impeach the president". No one else within the music industry has had the guts to pen such a brazen personal attack on Bush and the Neocons.

Young 's words here are savage and blatant and he should be commended. Furthermore, there is certainly no feeling of phony leftism about the lyrics, a charge that has been leveled against many other protest songs that have come before.

Quote:
Let's impeach the president for lying
Misleading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door

The song goes on to address the Regime's criminality, spying, the mess they made of post-Katrina New Orleans, hijacking "our religion" for partisan purposes, as well as how they have used divisiveness and racism to further their political agenda. Young backs up his lyrics with Bush's own words, turning his inspid/Orwellian diatribe on tape against him as the song is transformed from a hard rocker into a soaring gospel inspirational.

"You're always going to rub somebody the wrong way when you sing 'let's impeach the president,' " Young said. "But that's what this country's all about — being able to express your views."

In response to the frighteningly routine, ridiculous and ignorant accusations that Young is being "unpatriotic", he responded:

"We don't all have to believe in what our President believes in order to be Patriotic."

Neil Young is a guy who, like many, was sucked into the phony patriotism after 9/11, rallying around Bush and speaking out in favour of the PATRIOT act.

Yet his abrupt about face without fear of re-crimination is admirable given that many others within the entertainment industry have not dared to speak out at all.

Furthermore, other celebrities that have spoken out , seem to be stuck firmly within the false left/right paradigm and their words tend to be cliched and cringe worthy. Take Madonna for example, who warned us all that "9/11 was ambiguous" yet government involvement could not be proven, reinforcing the hollow limited hangout of the impotent left-wing Michael Moore school of whitewashing. She is a celebrity who clearly only thinks in terms of her image.

Young on the other hand cares less about his own image and record sales and more about freedom in America. Yes he has flip flopped politically all his career, ranging from protesting against Nixon in the 70s to staunchly supporting Regan in the 80s, but always with the notion that freedom in America is sacred.

"Shock And Awe" is another lyrically powerful song on the record. As Howie Klein of the "Down with Tyranny" blog suggests, let's hope that the mentality that inspired Young's "Shock and Awe" will be remembered long beyond the mentality that inspired Bush's shock and awe.

Back in the days of shock and awe

ALBUM HEADS TO INTERNET FIRST

Friday, April 21, 2006

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Neil Young's newly recorded protest album "Living With War," including a song calling for the impeachment of U.S. President George W. Bush, will be posted for free Internet streaming next week, his label said on Friday.

Starting April 28, fans can log onto Young's Web site, www.neilyoung.com, and listen to the 10-track collection in its entirety, free of charge, said Bill Bentley, a spokesman for Warner Music Group's Reprise Records.

The album will first become commercially available as a digital download beginning May 2, "and we plan to get it into retail stores as soon after that as we can get them manufactured," Bentley said.

He said the label anticipates getting the album into retail outlets between May 5 and May 15. "Neil wants this album out there as soon as possible," Bentley added.

Neil Young's LIVING WITH WAR: 'It may just be the Fahrenheit 9/11 of rock'

Guest Blogged by Jim Cirile

Neil Young wants to keep on rockin' the free world.

His new record, Living With War, makes very clear that if the Bush regime is allowed to continue, there may not be a free world to rock for much longer.

At 7:30 PM on Friday, April 21, 2006, Reprise Records’ Dan Rose ushered a small cadre of us into a Reprise's Burbank headquarters for an exclusive listen to Young’s new CD. For the next 50 minutes, listen we did.

Let's get one thing out of the way right now: this album rocks. It's post '80s electric Neil Young at his grunge best, and of the 10 cuts on Living With War, the first eight are mostly uptempo rockers. In fact, this may be the 60-year-old Young’s most crossover-worthy album yet, since many of the songs should appeal to fans of bands as diverse as Green Day and Pearl Jam and will likely be embraced on campuses across America.

But there's one other tiny thing that makes this record stand out: it is one mother%^&*#% of a protest album. In fact, Living With War may just be the Fahrenheit 9/11 of rock…

The album kicks off with the tight wistful rocker, "After the Garden." Its strong hook sets the tone by hearkening back to Woodstock—remember what we were fighting for in the '60s, folks? It's all been dashed. Next up: "Living With War," a good cut that had toes tapping. But the room really came alive with the third cut, "Restless Consumer," a headbanging indictment of both American consumerism and the manipulation of the public by the corporate media. Young breaks into an almost rap-style rant in the choruses, with the refrain, "We don’t need no more lies!" No, we do not.

The fourth cut, "Shock and Awe," skewers our botched "liberation" of Iraq due to hubris and deliberately falsified intel. By this point it is clear Young is not pulling any punches. The lyrics are sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes humorous, sometimes laden with uncomfortable truth.

Cuts 5 and 6, "Families" and "Flags of Freedom" examine the effect of war on us all, and "Flags" stops you dead with this thought-provoking lyric, "Do you think that you believe in yours more than they do theirs somehow?"

But Young kicks out the proverbial jams with the album's centerpiece, "Let's Impeach the President." This song is a blistering, barnstorming indictment of our Commander-in-Thief, and Young borrows a page from Michael Moore here by letting Bush destroy himself with his own words. In the song's midsection, Bush's own recorded contradictory statements are juxtaposed against one another to create an incontrovertible pastiche of lies and contradictions while the background singers chant, "Flip… Flop… Flip… Flop…" Incendiary. The CD is worth buying for this one song alone.

The tone grows wistful again (but with a ray of hope) in "Looking for a Leader," in which Young hopes someone, anyone, will step up to clean out the co

TALKING TO GODSMACK (WHOSE ALBUM IS NO. 1 ON THE CHARTS) ABOUT WHAT THEY USE THEIR MUSIC FOR

Jay Babcock
ARTHUR Magazine
05/06/2006

Godsmack are a millionaire hard rock band who have sold millions of records in the last 8 years. Their fourth album, “IV,” was released on April 25. It sold 211,000 copies in its first week in the USA to debut at Number One on the Billboard chart.

Several weeks previous, I had been solicited by Godsmack’s record label and publicist for press coverage. Ken Phillips, the band’s publicist told me on May 3, after the interview had been conducted, that he had “assumed that it would be a feature about the new cd, tour and what the band has been doing since the last release.” The latter is all that I was able to discuss with Godsmack frontman/lyricist/producer Sully Erna on Monday, May 1 by telephone before he hung up on me mid-sentence, and refused to answer any further questions over the following days.

Godsmack is owned by Universal Studios, owned by Pentagon contractor Carlyle Group, owned by CIA director Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the British Empire, the German Queen of England, British Prime Minister John Major, and the Bin Laden family. Carlyle Group members are sued by 911 victims' families for perping the terrorist massacres on 9/11/2001. Carlyle Gang now owns Serenity TBDM, but refuses to fund a sequel reporting CIA's MKULTRA Project Monarch mind-controlled slave assassin program. Godsmack also has a song named "Serenity".
