[Hardline]

I wasn't a huge fan but they were a major country music band before they changed the band name.

Head-on collision

I am terrified these days on two-lane roads with no divider. People are too distracted playing on phones, inebriated, etc, etc.

It wasn’t a distracted driver. It was an idiot trying to pass another car.

I know, I read the story. Just saying we see lots of car accident victims due to playing on the phone…..daily.

That's tragic and sad news to hear. I liked some of the Dixie Chicks stuff, never saw them live tho. Back in the 90's I was Bar Mgr at place where we did live music 4-5 nights/week. The GM that did the bookings gave me a stack of demos to listen to, we'd get tons of demos and one of them was from the original Dixie Chicks lineup. We did a lot of regional acts, all kinds of genres but mostly Americana, type stuff, Robert Earl Keen, Joe Ely, etc., so thought they would fit in. The GM told me that Lloyd Maines' daughter, Natalie, had just joined the group and they were getting a lot of buzz and might be too late to get them. Sure enough, started seeing their names everywhere and they blew up shortly after that.

This happened in a pretty remote spot out in West Texas. I wonder if she had property or livestock out there. I think it's a pretty area, but a remote and harsh place to spend time.

That’s Guadalupe National park area, pretty nice out there.

This is so tragic. I remember going to a bake sale at sons of Herman hall where the Dixie Chicks were playing. Jeez, had to be 89?

Just awful. I was and am a fan.

They also gained a lot of fans from the other side, and continue to consistently sell out their concerts.

They didn't gain anymore fans than they did before. They lost popularity. What other side are you talking about?

If you weren't a fan of someone before they did something stupid,you wouldn't be afterwards.
Show me the 10 Longhorns I thought were sure fire first rounders.

As far as Albums sales go they have been declining since the late 90s. Those first few Albums sold in the millions now they are lucky to break 100,000.

I was a fan of the Dixie Chicks. The name change was just a terrible idea.
