Dixie Slags

So they won a bunch of grammys. Who the hell cares? They won: (1) Song of the year; (2) Best Country Performance; (3) Record of the Year; (4) Best Country Album; and (5) Best Album. But these awards do not reflect their status in the country music world. They were shut out from ANY awards in Nashville. Not a one. Nada. In fact, if you look at the Country Charts from Billboard, there are half a dozen other artists whose albums also reached #1, and have been on the charts longer and REMAIN higher on the charts than the Dixie Cretins.

So what gives? Simple: the Grammys are just like the Oscars -- with awards going to political winners, with very little to do with the music. The music industry is notoriously left-wing, and now with Boosh on the ropes, they finally have the courage to support their political allies. The various liberal news organs cite "Red Hot Dixie Chicks" etc. Well, only to the politically motivated are they hot. It is indeed ironic that the Grammys hand out all these country awards as well as the main staple, but country music ignores the Dixies -- they do not sell as many albums as some almost unknown acts. We must presume it is cross-over buyers from the stable rock and roll or popular music segments that are buying the Dixie Chicks album -- it sure isn't the Red State crowd.

If anyone should be or is "ashamed," it should be the folks responsible for the Grammys for such a craven and crass show of political favoritism.
