Once again those who are anti-war and/or progressives to step up to the plate. (Been doing this a lot late, I know) We need to make sure that the new CD from the Dixie Chicks, Taking the Long Way, is a huge seller.
We need to do this for several reasons:
- To provide a true, concrete support for Natalie and the Dixie Chicks. A large and fast selling CD will be written about and part of the historical record just like what Natalie said and the reaction to it. Whenever she/they may feel alone and "under siege" all she/they needs to do is look a the sale numbers for this CD.
- To show the Toby Keith's of the USA that the chicks are even more popular today.
- Lastly to watch O"Reilly eat crow. Even if he won't, we will know that he publically should. He said the the boycott has hurt the Dixie Chicks and he predicts that they will only sell 2 million units. (Only part of his comments are texted on Fox site, you need to click the video link)
Support the Dixie Chicks, buy their CD, as many as you can, on Tuesday!
If the CD does go past 2 million units, it would be great to have people call into Billy's radio show or email him with just these words, "Caw, caw, caw" to remind him of the crow he should be eating.

John Lennon had record burnings too for his "we are bigger than Christ" comments.
Seems like they have weathered this. Since death threats and stalking are more recongize as serious problems than they were in John Lenon's day, and more "fans" have killed stars than in John Lennon's day -- their concernes and precautions are well founded.
Their are lots of Texans who are ashamed of Bush, and if they had a stage and audience they'd say so.
