Now if she gets rid of a car altogether, then we're talking ... sorry, that was just the inveterate cyclist in me coming out. Perhaps it's even better that she has responded to criticism rather than being holier-than-thou straightaway. Might show to people that you can think again. > Has anybody been following the news about the Dixie Chicks?

Right on for the Dixie Chicks--what I must admit I don't understand from the European perspective is re-branding French fries (which at any rate are mostly spelled 'french fries') 'freedom fries'--but then, that story may just have been blown out of all proportion by a grateful and opportunistic media. > Im listening to a live CD and she introduces Lucky Kid by saying "This song > is about a big fat jerk I know and he shall remain nameless" That's not fair! She wasn't even supposed to HINT it's about me--I'm supposed to get away with anything without suffering any consequences! No, seriously, my money's on Elvis. Still waiting for Sheryl's protest song to end them all.
