Ok. to "guest" (who could be any one person or group of people but won't use a name) :First, some people (maybe not you, but others) in this thread have basically suggested that because the Chicks sell records they must be good. Second, I hate to ruin your conspriacy theory, but the majority of the media is Democratic. If you really think the "republican media" has an agenda to ruin the Dixie Chicks career....well....you should find a hobby. Finally, Frank Zappa was an amazing musician. We can all argue about who we like and don't like because that's an opinion. Frank Zappa was a good musician. He had a great deal of knowledge about music, and ability to use it on quite a few instruments. This is not open for debate, it's a fact. If you don't like what he does with his knowlege of music, fine. But he knows more about music that all three of the Dixie Chicks put together. To Don Firth. I too know how to play a handful of stringed insruments. The two sisters in the band are reasonably good at playing their instruments. I never claimed that they weren't. I doubt you know the Dixie chicks as people, so maybe you should'nt make claims about what good people they are. My girlfriend loves them. I've heard the records. It's all 1-4-5 pop music with a banjo and a violin. It's like rock band, adding a washboard and a squeezebox and calling it zyedco. BTW...everyone has to stop responding to this thread...how am I ever going to get the last word in if you all keep responding? =) If everyone wasn't so far away, we could go have a lot of beer and one of those late night debates that ends with the drunken "you're the best, man" hugs and goodbyes, followed by everyone forgetting the whole debate.
