I also try not to discuss politics with friends. Ask me about Disney Channel shows though, because I know every cartoon and non-cartoon characters my kids watch. In fact I even know the secret ingredient of a Crabby Patty (Sponde Bob Square Pants).Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1153700027100300082006-07-23T20:13:00.000-04:002006-07-23T20:13:00.000-04:00k.j., k.d. rocks!

I admit I'm glad of that. <BR/><BR/>ps i love kd lang. <BR/><BR/>:)kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1153625135329563322006-07-22T23:25:00.000-04:002006-07-22T23:25:00.000-04:00kj,thanks for visiting my blog.

Did I mention that I like to sing it LOUD!? Their intensity is so raw. The song holds power! Maybe it will even wake a few sheep from their slumber.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377814945121401007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1153443415717307842006-07-20T20:56:00.000-04:002006-07-20T20:56:00.000-04:00I agree with you, KJ.

Having enough belief, conviction and courage to voice their opinion - especially at a time when the majority of opinion would go against them (back in 2003).Elsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656369776187412372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1153416400032609572006-07-20T13:26:00.000-04:002006-07-20T13:26:00.000-04:00kj,I don not think that the Dixie Chicks were blac...kj,<BR/><BR/>I don not think that the Dixie Chicks were blacklisted, if there is such a thing, when they criticized the president. The issue is their manner of criticizing the president or anyone for that matter. I can't remember any Dixie Chicks song or any of the pop country singers' songs and have no plans to buy a cd. However, if I go to a concert expecting to hear music or be entertained, I sure don't want to hear political ramblings from the entertainers especially when I paid for the show. If I want to engage in or hear political discussions and criticisms, I could turn on the tv and listen to the talking heads. The Dixie Chicks are pretty but I doubt if they will be remembered like Loretta Lynn, Patti Paige or even k.d.lang. People I work with, know more about the Chicks' controversy than they do of their music. That defeats the purpose for musicians, does it?Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1153408963920617312006-07-20T11:22:00.000-04:002006-07-20T11:22:00.000-04:00i don't buy many either, liz, and i'm delighted wi...i don't buy many either, liz, and i'm delighted with this one. glad you'll be buying it.<BR/><BR/>ps and about your cabinet handles: how are they?!kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.com
