March 14 Award Winner:
Natalie Maines (The Dixie Chicks)
The Dixie Chicks (or Baghdad Chicks as many here in TEXAS are now calling them) have pretty much ruined their career with a vicious statement by Natalie regarding being ashamed that the President is from Texas. In the aftermath, sales of Chicks CD's have plunged, radio stations have pulled them from the air and thousands of ex-Chicks fans have staged CD trashing demonstrations nationwide up to and including crushing a pile of Chicks CDs by a 5-ton tractor! A local radio station took a poll and out of 14,000 responses, a massive 93% were AGAINST the statements made by Natalie.

The following stories should speak for themselves. The last link is to the KSCS radio station poll mentioned above.

KSCS 96.3 Listener Poll Results

Dear Natalie: Great voice, great music, but you have a lousy way of getting your point across. You could have at least been brave enough to make your statement in THIS country. I agree, you have the right to make such statements, just as I have the same right to throw all of your CDs I own into a bonfire and to say that I am ashamed YOU are from Texas. Your apology is hollow and meaningless unless you make it in the same manner as you made your highly offensive statement...from the stage...in the USA...in Texas and from YOUR mouth! Until then, your music will no longer come out of my speakers! - Mr. B

March 11 Award Winner:
Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders Band)
A triple play winner for March 11! Chrissie gave us THREE gems of wacked out anti-American rhetoric in a March 1 anti-American hate speech during her San Francisco concert:

"Have we gone to war yet? We (expletive) deserve to get bombed. Bring it on."

"Let's get rid of all the economic (expletive) this country represents! Bring it on, I hope the Muslims win!"

"Did I tell you why I hate sports? Because I hate winners and people who have to win all the time."

Dear Chrissie: If you prefer losers...move to Iraq...AND STAY THERE! -- Mr. B

March 10 Award Winner:
Sheryl Crow
"I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies."

Uh, Sheryl, you are a great singer...but you need to smell the Trade Towers burning and get a clue! We didn't make Iraq and al-Qaida our enemy...they put THEMSELVES in that position! -- Mr. B
