Aren't I the lucky one. I just found out that the Ditsy Sicks are going to be in my city May 10th. If there is a protest here, the 'Bird will be there.

I'm not sure if they're still here, but a few years back there was a local band round these parts called the Chixie Dicks. :)

I downloaded and listened to the song. I thought it was cute, well-arranged, and very listenable, overall a good effort. But I can see myself sitting in a bar somewhere near downtown Dallas, and that table of bimbos to my left just keeps drinkin' and grinnin' and saying "Livin' in fear, huh? Serves the bastards right!" and all raising a glass to how they got 'em on the run.
I had hoped to hear something I could ship off to my local country station and ask them to play it once in awhile. It's a nice song. But that's the problem: it's too 'nice.'

I didn't like this song because it was about a typical country bumpkin rolling over and trembling in fear, when it should have ebeen turning the tables, putting the shoe on the other foot, and serving up sauce for the gander.
I would have much preferred a song called "Merle's Gone" and use almost-identical same lyrics and tune, except replacing the gender-roles and circumstances with those experienced by MALE victims of domestic violence (including police arresting HIM, the victim, and mocking him when he told them what happened; about her threatening to get custody of the kids despite that she abused them, collect alimony while cohabiting with her sister and his live-in boyfriend as the kids slept in a closet-- all on his nickel... and how she poured boiling water on him in his sleep etc.
It then could end with a send-up of Johnny Cash's song "Dehlia's Gone:"
"Merle was a bad woman,
the worst I've ever seen;
the kinda girl, that makes me wanna
grab my sub-machine....
I pointed it at Merle;
I shot her in the side...
Then I shot her three more times
and watched as Merle died....
Merle's Gone, yes indeed,
Merle's gone."

Actually, I wasn't thinking about anything that included more violence against women, but maybe something more like a sequel, where Earl's long lost brother shows up and starts asking questions. And eventually he finds the car in the lake with the body in the trunk and then the women get arrested and tried and given the death penalty, and THEN Earl's brother stands up in court and asks the judge to reduce the penalty to life in prison, because Earl was a good and benevolent man and would never have wanted it to come to this. I would even (were I a poet) throw in what Earl's wifes major was while she was away at college: women's studies.
I liken this to two songs that Garth Brooks did some time ago. One was about the trucker's wife who fooled around. (Mama's in the Graveyard and Papa's in the Pen). Anyway, the writer treated the DV in this case by putting the man in jail for murder, where he belongs in my opinion. Yet in another song, (And the Thunder Rolls) the writer allows the wife to kill the husband, and terminates the song. We assume that this is the end of the story, cause it's the end of the song. She's never arrested or tried. There's that inevitable imbalance. And the Thunder Rolls should have had another verse recorded with it that showed the woman going to jail for murder.

I saw on the news last night and this morning that many now EX-fans of the "Dixie twits" are actually takeing their tapes and CDs and burning them, stomping on them and running over them with their cars and tractors, Etc.
It was funny, I laughed.

Well, thank god somebody noticed that utterly mean-spirited Dixie Chicks song. I saw the video that was made for it once and was disgusted that such a thing would even be aired.
If the song were based on a true story of abuse and revenge, that would be different. It still wouldn't be acceptable, but it would be different. In actuality, the tale of an abusive man in the song is utterly fictional and obviously it was concocted solely to justify a song that details a violent act committed against a man.
Clearly, if such a song was written about a man inflicting such vengeance on an abusive woman, there would be an enormous uproar, and plenty of media attention would be paid to said uproar. This is a clear-cut case of cultural double standards.

Actually a LOT of attention was paid to this song when it came out. I spoke with program directors at two country radio stations in the northeast who told me that they'd received a lot of negative feedback on the song and that was the reason that it is so rarely played. But the feminists persisted. This was the only song in history to be eligible for awards in two consecutive CMA (Country Music Association) award cycles. The second one was actually for the video, not the song, but the effect was the same. It won both times, as I recall.

For the sake of those who might have missed the video, it showed the gals partying it up, laughing, singing, having a great old time while tossing around a stuffed bodybag. There was also a lot of lesbian suggestiveness.

Frankly, I hope this insult to the President means the demise of these misandrist bitches. I'm of the opinion that them and another group called Shedaisy represent nothing more than the feminist incursion into what was once a genre that ATTEMPTED to respect the sexes (both of them), traditional morality, and the nation.

You can be as pacifistic and "reasonable" as you want, but this approach has clearly failed in the fight against male-bashing, and nothing fights fire like fire.
I think the best comeback song would be "Goodbye Dixie Chicks," about how men got so sick of their song that a whole town of them got together and killed them, with the chorus:
"They decided that the Dixie Chicks had to DIE."
and the lyrics
"The Dixie Chicks were last seen
at a concert that was held last fall;
Everybody started shooting at them,
and nobody missed at all.
The Sherrif ran an investigation
but he didn't find a single clue,
however this was hardly surprising,
cuz he was there shooting, too."
THE DIXIE CHICKS HAD TO DIE!
YEAH!
THEY ALL HAD TO DIE!

and poor old Earl,
who in their fiction was just a lie,
lay in the dust under their busted CD's
and cracked a big ole smile.
