Buy the tickets!

Having had rather an exciting day yesterday I then relaxed by watching a few of my music vids. An eclectic mix in some ways since I watched the "Doors in Europe" and concerts from the Dixie Chicks and Cannibal Corpse. I rather like the Dixie Chicks and this was them performing most of a then new album, but with both "Sin Wagon" and "White Trash Wedding" being sung. I am particularly fond of those tracks which may, of course say something about me and my relationship with country music. Although thinking about it "Jolene" by Dolly Parton is maybe my total favourite if a single choice had to be made.

The Doors were of course one of my favourites from long ago, particularly the whole of the "Celebration of the Lizard" on the double live album, how nice it was to view them again and discover that they still hold undisputed thrall over me.

As for Cannibal Corpse it is just so pleasant to see the long hair billowing in unison, one wonders how the baldie headed one feels on stage when he is at times the only guy with a visible face.

But this is all by the by in reality, since my thoughts are mainly on how I bought the Dixie Chicks new album and was delighted to find that it was going well up the listings. And yet the tickets for their concerts around the States are selling very badly, are they still suffering because of a single poorly thought out comment made by the lead singer in concert some time ago? I personally am not a great believer in protesting, although many years ago I did walk in a few "Ban the Bomb" demonstrations, always feeling slightly embarrassed for some reason, nevertheless I strongly suggest that all those concerned about the American President and his desires to invade all and sundry should immediately go and buy tickets to see the Dixie Chicks as a statement of policy, if nothing more. And should you use the tickets you will have an extremely enjoyable evening in any case; quite apart from your helping to prevent the return of days when such signs as this were rife.
