Dixie Chicks

I was elated when I heard that Madonna had performed an anti-material, anti-war album, only to meet disappointment when I heard that Madonna was sending out decoys which have not her songs but the epithet "What the f are you doing?" That's the hit song of the year, by the way. "What the f*** are you doing", by Madonna.

Now I hear that the Dixie Chicks have disappointed me. I was encouraged by them because they took a stand against our administration. But then their lead singer Maines wore a T-shirt at a recent awards ceremony reading F.U.T.K., which means, I take it, "Futk you, Tony Keith". So this is an acronym that contains itself. Well, not quite. I misspelled a word to avoid some of these filters, but imagine what if Keith's first name had been Chris. Now who was Tony Keith? I looked on the Internet and found that he wrote a song called "The Red, White and Blue", and I read the lyrics. They were pro-American and expressed an angry mood, like many Americans had after Planeattack. Maines criticized these lyrics, and Tony Keith replied by saying that the Dixie Chicks were not in his league. So Maines replied with the T-shirt. It caused quite a stir. I don't think it was appropriate. I think that word beginning with f is grossly misused; most of the time it is not used to mean sexual intercourse. Maines showed herself as trite by putting that on her shirt and wearing it to the awards ceremony.

It's the same sort of thing that Madonna did, in a different context. This is the second famous woman that I have heard of in recent days use the f word. To me the f word shows the user to be rurale, as it shows the user can't find words to mean more than that. I won't buy Dixie Chicks albums either.
