by Joe B. Last Sunday’s Oscar Show I missed mainly because its too much like sports in that its, tedious, long, and most of all,many of the films featured I haven't seen. Even though Michael Moore praised the Dixie Chicks in his "Fiction" speech the Dixie Chicks/Bush thing means nothing to me. Then I get an email on the DC/B thing and what started it. Ms. Natalie Maine, one of the there DC’s made the comment causing all the hubbub in Lubbock, Texas. A Republican State Rep. Catherine Ceips introduces a resolution last Wednesday call on them to perform for South Carolina troops and their families. I don’t know, it seems that the group being from the same place as Selected President’s from can say whatever they want but when Ms. Natalie Maine back tracks apologizing. It is the wrong tack. As for the troops that’s plain personal pique on C. Ceips part, sounds like a she's got personal problem. My Editor and boss has said "Being from L.A. all publicity is good publicity." What occurs to me is if they're going to sing for the troops they might as well inform them what’s happening in the states, repeat what they said about the ‘Pres., and expand on it. If C. Ceips is so thin skinned about what people say about the 'Prez Chicks True or not think of what kind of problems she’ll have as more and more hip hop, rap, and mainstream entertainers say what is really on their minds. What’s she (Cieps) trying to do, use the "Entertaining The Troops" as code for placing Dixie Chicks in harms way? Backing up, saying sorry we’ll be good little girls is not this real band they or one of their member have devalued themselves. So Texas radio bans their songs, ladies you’re in good company all banning does is make more folks check out your stuff. The world isn’t Texas and even though some family and friends may turn their back on you this will pass as for now all of you must do your music, speak out but no more wimp outs as women love saying of men. Remember the feeling when voicing your views. That’s why most men, women, youth, and young adults say nothing its safer letting other people catching the flack. The next fem rock group may say something more outrageous, not apologize, take a few hard hits for year or more and come out of it stronger for going through the baptism of public outrage and fire. The Dixie Chicks apologized and still get flack for what one of them said. So it seems the best thing is don’t take back what was said and move on people may not forget but they have lives and cannot stay on one subject too long unless its really unforgivable. This is why some guys say don’t apologize just keep going, bare up, and deal with it. Actually men have learn apologizing only leads to more conversations about what? About why apologizing means nothing without action behind them and then not doing the same action again. Movies have gotten so high 8$ or 9$ that going to them really is a challenge. Between video or dvd movies this problem is solved at least when using the library instead of video/dvd rental stores. All I need now is a VCR/DVD/TV combo and rare If lucky we’ve already celebrated and after the walk or drive-in movie celebrations can begin again. Like food I do enjoy 2nd’s 3rd’s, 4th helpings which reminds me, remember: eat food because water can only fill one so much. Dating is difficult for me but with patience, laughter, and women with minds and bodies relaxed less tense good times are easy regardless whether there is sex or not. I have to say that incase people were wondering. Until this Slaughter ends be well people…. Bye. Please send donations to For Joe only my snail mail: Email: askjoe@poormagazine.org |
