Failure to Re-Launch the Dixie Chicks

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Like many conservatives, I felt a sense of Shadenfreude when the Dixie Chicks announced plans to cancel about half their concerts planned for their current tour.

While their anti-Bush comments were the single greatest contributor to their fall, several factors conspire to keep them down.

The Dixie Chicks burst onto the scene in the late 90’s with a fresh look and a fresh sound. They combined traditional sounds like bluegrass with an irreverent sensibility (who can forget “Goodbye Earl?). Until they arrived, it’s hard to recall any famous country “girl” bands (though I’m sure they existed).

But like all success, theirs spawned imitators. For example, SheDaisy has had some big hits, recently. And though Sugarland isn’t an all-girl band, I would argue they are now occupying The Dixie Chick’s niche.

Jennifer Nettles — Sugarland’s lead singer — has the same spunk as Natalie Maines — minus the anti-Bush rhetoric. And with hit tunes like Baby Girl and Something More, Sugarland has soothed the cravings that country listeners have had for the Chicks’ sound.

And like the Chicks, Sugarland has proven to have crossover appeal. In fact, Nettles recently recorded a duet with Bon Jovi (Who Says You Can’t Go Home?).

Were it not for Nettles, country fans might have missed the Chicks more, and thus, been more willing to forgive.

Of course, instead of fighting Sugarland for their country base, the Chicks decided to concede their country fans, hoping instead to gain success in the crossover world.

Their marketing strategy sought to re-brand them as the “thinking man’s” country band. The fact that you can buy their cd at Starbucks says something. It is doubtful that Toby Keith would sell many cds at Starbucks (now Crackerbarrel, on the other hand…).

Here’s the problem: How do you re-brand a band called “The Dixie Chicks” and make them endearing to the Volvo-driving, latte sipping crowd? I mean, the name screams “redneck.” (I propose they rename themselves The Latte Ladies.)

As you can see, the Chicks find themselves without a home. They have been replaced in the country world — and have not been able to successfully transition into the Starbucks world. It will be interesting to see what their next step is.

Madonna Insults Bush, whoo hooo!

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

 

By Dean Goodman LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Madonna launched her first world tour in two years on Sunday, delighting an enthusiastic Los Angeles crowd by hanging herself from a cross, insulting President George W. Bush, and dusting off some of the sexy moves that have sustained her career for more than 20 years.
The “Confessions” tour will keep her on the road for two months in North America, and then resume on July 30 in Wales for a five-week stadium swing through eight European cities. Shows in Japan are also on tap for mid-September.
The 47-year-old dance diva spent two hours churning out most of the tunes from her new album, “Confessions on a Dancefloor,” as well as a few old hits such as “Like a Virgin,” “Ray of Light” and “Lucky Star.”
The audience at the Los Angeles Forum included Madonna’s Kabbalah guru Rabbi Yehuda Berg, socialite Nicole Richie, and gay icon Rosie O’Donnell, who upgraded herself to a premium seat on the floor and left her spouse alone in the stands.
The meticulously choreographed Vegas-style routine began 50 minutes late when a giant mirror ball was lowered from the ceiling to the end of a catwalk stretching deep into the floor. Out popped Madonna, in S&M-styled riding gear and whip, singing the new tune “Future Lovers” as four bare-breasted male dancers writhed around with ball gags in their mouths.  MADONNA, HITLER & BUSH Later on, she donned a crown of thorns and suspended herself from a giant mirrored cross to deliver the ballad “Live to Tell.” Video screens showed images of third-world poverty and reeled off grim statistics.
During one of her half-dozen costume changes, another video montage juxtaposed images of Bush, members of his administration and British Prime Minister Tony Blair with footage of Adolf Hitler, Osama bin Laden, and Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe. Midway through the new song “I Love New York,” she deviated from the script and made a crude reference to Bush and oral sex.
Beyond that, she barely spoke to the audience, largely focusing on keeping control of a busy nightclub-style stage that boasted 15 dancers, four musicians and three backing vocalists. For the most part, she joined in the tricky choreography, her voice evidently not affected by the aerobic workout. She did pause for a few songs during which she appeared to play a shiny Gibson Les Paul guitar.
A disco segment near the end, where she dressed in a “Saturday Night Fever”-style white suit to perform “Music” thrilled the crowd, as did the “Like a Virgin” routine, when she climbed aboard a carousel-style black leather saddle.
There was no encore, and the lights came up as soon as she had completed a medley of “Lucky Star” and latest hit single “Hung Up” while sporting an illuminated white cape with “Dancing Queen” embroidered on the back.
Billboard magazine has forecast ticket sales could reach the $200 million range, making it the most successful tour by a female artist. Cher holds the record with $192.5 million from 273 shows on a “farewell” world tour that began in June 2002 and lasted almost three years, according to Billboard.
Madonna, on the other hand, is scheduled to play fewer than 60 dates on this tour. Similarly, her $125 million-grossing Re-Invention tour in 2004 and the $75 million Drowned trek in 2001 were also relatively brief.
What catapults her to the top of the leagues is her ticket price, topping out at $380 (including Ticketmaster fees) in most U.S. venues. However, it did not stop her from adding dates to accommodate demand.

Vegas Part One….

Saturday, May 20th, 2006


Ok, I’m gonna have to do this in a few parts, because I am still tired and slightly out of it.
We accomplished the “up till dawn” thing twice while there.
I ‘l have Mrs Sniff post on some other aspects of the trip.
Let me get my negative rants out of the way.
FIRST, as much as I like Vegas one thing it is quicky becoming is a Redneck Riviera. Living in Lawrence, KS one thing that spoils you is that we don’t have a lot of fat ass toothless hillbilly types living here. With the University here obviously we have a nice collection of younger, nice looking females here.
Unfortunately, Vegas with its multitude of cheep flights via Allegiant Air ($69 each way) from tiny destinations such as Sioux Falls and Rapid City South Dakota, Bismark and Fargo North Dakota, Missoula Montana and Idaho Falls, Idaho it has become the choice destination of incredibly overweight, toothless, hillbilly redneck types.
You simply do not see very many nice, ordinary attractive people there anymore.
Even in the Mega resorts. Despite the billions spent on these destinations with the marble floors, beautiful furnishings, fine restaurants and oasis type settings it is grossly offset with people walking around in nasty shorts, tennis shoes, dirty T-shirts, mullets and bunches of women with thighs bigger than I am with mounds of cellulite! Its fucken gross.
How the hell can a normal person enjoy a fine vacation when these type of people are milling around?
I mean seriously, these are folks who consider a trip to Denny’s buffet and Smoke shop fine dining.
If you are going to take your ass to Vegas at least TRY and play dress-up and look decent walking around.
SECOND, Trash. With all the billions and billions of dollars spent making Vegas this spectacular glossy destination, city leaders sure as hell don’t spend very much time cleaning up the rest of the city.
Having the opportunity to drive literally around the entire city Mrs. Sniff and I got to explore not only the strip and casinos but neighborhoods as well. There is still significant building going on there.
They are building luxury condos and townhomes by the bunches. Unfortunately the areas where building has yet to commence there are piles of cement, dirt and mounds of trash everywhere.
It’s already bad enough that you are in an environment that is dry, brown, sorely lacking in trees or green grass but blowing trash, construction waste and other debris is given free reign to spread itself around the city.
Now adding to the trash category is political signs. These should be outlawed. The jackass politicians in Vegas are not satisfied enough with the small yard type signs you see elsewhere, but these bastards erect signs the size of a mini vans on these vacant lots I mentioned. They also put them on any available fencing or vacant surface. I even saw one politician advertise on the side of a restaurant! Its just fucken tacky as hell.
THIRD, Foreign Drivers. One thing you notice is that there are lots of accidents in Vegas and when you see one they are more often than not serious ones. Also more times than not the fault lies with the Japanese or some other far Eastern individual who decided to come to Vegas and rent a fancy car knowing damm well they can’t navigate successfully.
Every time I was cut off or cut in front of was a foreign driver. Oh lets not forget the Middle Eastern folks as well. One lady (Indian dot, not feather) whom I thought was making a right turn had her car in the middle of the far right lane on a six lane boulevard. She looked as though she wanted to get totally across the street. Instead of waiting for the proper light she simply was easing herself across this incredibly busy street causing a major traffic jam.
FOURTH, support staff in Vegas.
I believe that most of what I am bitching about has taken it’s toll on the support staff there in Vegas. Having to cater to the rude gamblers, the plastic face and breasted trophy wives, to the Hillbilly masses these people are just worn out and pissed off. Except for a couple of cases the support staff was slightly rude, never smiled, looked pissed off and especially the waitresses in the mega hotels were not as attractive. Even in the Paris, (was my favorite) all of the fine looking women who worked there in those French uniforms were not nearly as nice or attractive. They clearly did not enjoy their work. They were just going through the motions and collecting a paycheck.
Being there for one week wore me out. Can you imagine working there day in and day out.
Mrs Sniff will continue this later. We are still settling in and recuperating.
Despite my rants Mrs Sniff and I had a good time. We always say to each other we can enjoy ourselves wherever we go. It’s never about the destination, it’s more about who you are with.

I cured my Vegas fix for awhile.

Stop That Nigga!

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

These liberal rednecks at Democratic Underground have their attack post up on Ken Blackwell. He and Michael Steele are the two primary “Stop the Nigger” targets for liberals in the upcoming elections.
I find the rant, “creative”.
Without going too much into it, any election involving a black conservative will get special attention from Democrats. Although you see very few articles on it, Democrats CAN’T under any circumstances loose the black vote particularly in states like Ohio. If the black voters starts to wise up and leverage its vote and stop simply give their votes away to the Democrats, the party is toast. That is why these racists’ liberal, cracka fucks will go heavily after any Negro Conservative with the typical “Oreo” and “Uncle Tom” references.

Ken Blackwell must be stopped From Democratic Underground

IF YOU DON’T KNOW DUDE CLICK HERE! 

With the primary behind us, the choice for Ohio’s next governor is now set. And the differences between Republican nominee Ken Blackwell and Democratic nominee Ted Strickland couldn’t be more clear.
In Blackwell, voters are faced with an opportunistic hypocrite whose incompetence is as well-documented as are his ties to the Bob Taft-led culture of corruption. In Strickland, voters are faced with a candidate who recognizes that true leadership and a voice for all Ohioans is what this state needs to return to prominence.
But this race isn’t just about Ohio. It’s about driving a stake through the heart of the Republican Party. It’s about showing everyone that the politics of division have no place in our society. It’s about demonstrating that the people have the power to chart a course for a better tomorrow.
Before that better tomorrow, however, we’ve got to cure what’s ailing us today. And make no mistake, Blackwell is as malignant a presence as Ohio has ever faced. In his current role as Ohio Secretary of State, Blackwell is charged with overseeing the state’s elections. I’m sure you’ve heard how well a job he’s been doing. Not only in 2004, when he tried to disenfranchise thousands of Ohioans while attempting to deliver the election to President Bush, but also as recently as last week, when voters again experienced problems at the polls.

3 Ark. Men Indicted in Cross Burning Case

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

U mean rednecks are still doin’ these tired ole cross burnings? C’mon Jethro’s; go get in your pickup, grab that blanket,  grab a six pack of Milwaukees’ Best, find that big breasted cousin of yours and enjoy life. Leave the Negros alone. DAMM! 

By Associated Press

TEXARKANA, Ark. — Three men are accused in a federal indictment of burning a cross near the home of a black man to intimidate him.
Christopher Mitchell, James Bradley Weems and Clint Wurtele, all from Fouke, are accused of conspiring to threaten and intimidate the man because of his race.
The three men are friends of Christopher Baird, 33, who admitted last month in court that the cross-burning Aug. 5 near the home of his neighbor Anthony Briggins was racially motivated.
Miller County sheriff’s deputies found a cross burning on a hill about 100 yards from the house where Briggins lives with Kristina Robb, who is white, and their child.
Defense lawyers maintain their clients are innocent and the cross-burning was not racially motivated. Paul Hoover, Wurtele’s attorney, described the incident to the Texarkana Gazette as a prank.
Prosecutors allege the three were drinking beer at Baird’s house when they decided to burn the cross to drive Briggins out of the neighborhood. (SEE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN LAID INSTEAD)
Baird pleaded guilty last month to a federal charge of conspiracy to interfere with the right to occupy a dwelling free from intimidation and interference based on race and color. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Patrick Kennedy Crash Second in Three Weeks

 postcard.jpg
Patrick Kennedy’s Capitol Hill car crash in the early hours of Thursday morning was the second vehicular mishap suffered by the Rhode Island Democrat in three weeks.
Appearing on ABC Radio’s Mark Levin Show last night, WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr detailed the earlier accident, which went unnoted outside of the local press in Providence, Rhode Island.
“The accident wasn’t reported in the newspapers until almost a week after it happened,” Carr complained in his own Boston Herald column last week.
“The story ended up in the D section of the Providence Journal, under the East Bay Sports Bulletin Board and a big story headlined, ‘Two arrested after Newport tagging spree,’” he said.
On April 15 Kennedy was driving a Ford Crown Victoria on Turnpike Avenue in Portsmouth, R.I. when he made an abrupt left turn into the path of an oncoming Nissan. “By Kennedy standards, it was a fender-bender,” Carr noted.
According to the police report, there was no indication that Kennedy was driving under the influence, with his physical condition described as “appearing normal.”
Kennedy’s handwriting after the accident, however, didn’t appear normal, Carr told Levin, explaining that in Rhode Island police require drivers to write their own accident statement.
“It looks like it was written by a chimpanzee, or a 2-year-old,” Carr said, speculating that it could been caused by “medications” Kennedy was taking.
After the second crash, Kennedy relased a statement saying he was taking Ambien, a drug linked to disoriented behavior in press reports.

Boy, 9, cuffed over grope rap

Charges dropped against teacher in student sex case
ORLANDO, Fla. - State prosecutors decided Tuesday to drop charges against a former Tampa teacher accused of having sex with a 14-year-old middle school student.
 dl.jpg

Let me get this straight, white hottie teacher screws student gets slap on the wrist and let go.  Little black boy 9 (may have) “copped a feel” with the lunch lady, gets taken away in handcuffs. Alrighty then! Just thinkin’ out loud.

——–
BY DORIAN BLOCK, ALISON GENDAR and ROBERT F. MOORE
DAILY NEWS WRITERS
 
A 9-year-old boy accused of groping a lunch lady at his Brooklyn school was hauled from class in handcuffs - sparking his father to lash out yesterday at cops’ treatment of the third-grader.
“They didn’t have to put him in handcuffs,” said Rolando Syffrard Sr., 60. “He’s not a criminal.”
He said that officials at Public School 116 in Bushwick didn’t call him until after the scared boy already had been taken to the 83rd Precinct stationhouse Wednesday.
“The school called the house and told us to pick him up at the police [station],” Syffrard said. “This is not the way they’re supposed to do it. They’re supposed to call me before taking him out of the school.”
School officials said Rolando Syffrard Jr. was in the cafeteria Monday and tried to squeeze between the aide, who was emptying trash, and a garbage can. He allegedly touched the woman inappropriately, officials said.
The boy was put on in-house suspension, but school officials didn’t call the police, because they didn’t consider the incident a criminal matter.
Sources said the cafeteria worker who makes about $25,000 a year, called police two days later and said the boy rubbed his crotch against her and grabbed her butt.
But Syffrard said his son, who stands about 4 feet tall and weighs 95 pounds, accidentally groped the woman when he fell. “I believe my son,” Syffrard said. “He slipped and fell on the lady.”
The younger Syffrard was at the police station for just under an hour before he was released to his parents, cops said. Cops issued him a juvenile report, accusing him of forcible touching. Police said the case would be referred to Family Court. Court officials said they weren’t aware of the case, suggesting the boy hasn’t been formally charged.
Police defended their use of handcuffs, saying the boy was belligerent. “Even minors are handcuffed to assure the safety of both the police officer and the individual in custody,” said NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne. “And the practice is well within guidelines.”
Still, most parents arriving at the Knickerbocker Ave. school to pick up their kids yesterday called the restraints excessive. “Arresting him with handcuffs on is the real crime,” said Delfina Ortiz, the mother of a first-grader.
