Spunky Texas girls vs. Mullet-fro boy.
The "liberal media" just can't leave the Dixie Chicks alone. Here's the lead in the story:
Just as the controversy appeared to be dying down after the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines mildly ridiculed President Bush before the start of the Iraq war, country radio programmers are disappointed in the group once again.
This time, they take issue with the fact that Maines apparently chose to take a shot at fellow country musician Toby Keith during her May 21 performance at the Academy of Country Music Awards. Maines wore a sleeveless shirt with the letters F.U.T.K. on the front.
Most viewers, including awards show presenter Vince Gill, interpreted the letters as an expletive aimed at Keith. After opening the envelope that revealed Keith had won the night's biggest award -- entertainer of the year -- Gill quipped, "I think his name was on someone's shirt tonight."
For WXTU Philadelphia assistant program director/music director Cadillac Jack, Maines' shirt was the show's only disappointment. "With all the patriotism in the air that night, it was a downer and completely unnecessary," he says. "I was disappointed with them yet again."
Why Toby Keith? Three paragraphs from the bottom:
The spat between Maines and Keith goes back to his single "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," which Maines criticized in the media last year. Keith responded with public comments that Maines wasn't in his league as a songwriter.
In his concerts, Keith has been showing on big screens behind the stage the doctored photo of Maines and Saddam Hussein that began circulating on the Internet a few months ago after Maines criticized Bush.
This would be the Toby Keith that picks fights with girls.
Well, you can kind of see why.
..and here's an example of Toby Keith, songwriter:
Mother earth has changed since I was a child
The east is a beast and the west is really wild
And the headlines say that the end looks grim
And the future don’t look so bright
You can’t even open your mailbox, you can’t take a plane
And everybody’s lookin’ for somebody to blame
I think I’m gonna let the president
Save this ol’ world tonight
I’ll light us a fire
And she’ll turn off the news
We’ll open a cold one and shake these blues
Chorus: It’s all good
It’s alright
I’m gonna sit here with my baby all night
And let the troubles of this world
Roll on by us like they should
It’s all cool
It’s OK
We’ve got everything going our way
Can’t complain if we’re alright
It’s all good
I’m just a regular Joe, with a beautiful girl
Just getting by in a day-to-day world
We ain’t got a lot, but we don’t need anything
Covered in kisses, surrounded by love
Showered with blessings from up above
When you’re sittin’ on top of the world, man we got everything
We live out here in the country
Where the workin’ class do
We’ve got our health and our happiness too
Chorus
No can’t complain ‘cause we’re alright
And it’s all good
Something tells me that Bob Dylan isn't looking back over his shoulder.
