I prefer starvation.

1. What's it called, "The Dixie Chix"?

[mykpart]

4. I think it's called

I Love This Bar. Hank Williams Jr. will probably perform!

[HopeHoops]

6. Maybe it should be called "Dick's Stix".

2. I wish I lived in Dallas.

So I could refuse to eat there.

[Liberal_in_LA]

3. why?

[Aristus]

5. Not a big Toby Keith fan, that's why.

Doesn't matter. I'm sure his legion of redneck hick fans will make a success of it.

I haven't forgotten that the talentless bastard acted like a craptastic thug toward the Dixie Chicks. Nothing Southern gentlemanly about any of that.

[HopeHoops]

7. Curiously, I never appreciated their music until then. They're REALLY good!

[Aristus]

8. Well, I've always loved bluegrass. You know, banjo, fiddle and all that.

But I rarely liked the politics of the people playing. I wasn't a huge fan of the Dixie Chicks until I learned that they are progressives. I know, I'm that shallow. But once I fell in love with them, I really got to liking their music. It has all the elements of rural music that I've always appreciated, without all of the provincialism common to rural right-wingers.

I remember when most country singers were progressive, pro-worker supporters of the common man. Whatever their personal politics, they supported the 99%-ers instead of the 1%-ers.

9. "Coal Miner's Daughter" comes to mind.

[Tom Ripley]

10. Is chickenhawk on the menu?
