Chet Flippo (CMT.com writer) bashes Dixie Chicks

[AX10]

From the "Dark Side":

"Almost lost in all the furor over the former country music group the Dixie Chicks' domination of the Grammy Awards was another major development. The knee-jerk vote by liberal Grammy members wanting to send the White House and Nashville and country radio a large middle finger about the alleged persecution and martyrdom of the trio also effectively poisoned the well for other deserving artists in the five categories the Chicks swept."

:puke:

Give it a break Chet. Underwood is a newcomer. The Chicks have "earned their stripes", so to speak.

1. My, my.

Has Chet swallowed the bullshit of Nashville. He used to get it, when he was at Rolling Stone.

Well, I guess everyone has to make a buck...

2. Country radio is the Dixie Chicks, get over it Chet.

Just because none of the girls will speak to you, doesn't mean you should make things personal. Am I being clear, little man?

3. Carpetbagger Chet Flippo has been distorting and sensationalizing country

for years. The man has had no respect for the truth in the past, why should anyone pay any attention to anything he has to say about the Dixie Chicks.

7. Chet Flippo...I know that byline

Wasn't he a fairly respected music journalist at some point?

(And yes, I know; when it comes to music journalists, "respected" is a very relative term.)

8. He's just shillling to keep his job.

9. more BS. If the Grammy members were as liberal as he says, Carrie Underwood wouldn't have an invite

and neither would dumbass fuckups Rascal Flatts.
