Linda Ronstadt and The Dixie Chicks

[Zomby Woof]

I think there should be a concert tour of them together... a celebration of free speech, a tribute to outspoken women of conscience, and musically, they would complement each other well.

What do you think, DUers?

[quaoar]

1. The opening act

Could be Charlie Daniels. There'd be loads of fireworks.

2. Eh....the concept is a good one.....

.....if you're into that kinda music...personally not m'cup'o'tea! x(

[Zomby Woof]

3. I am not a big fan of either

But I am a fan of free speech and strong-minded women. To me, that's more than a fair trade.

Besides, I am playing concert promoter here, not a DJ... I think a tour of them could raise money for the ACLU, Emily's List, etc...

4. True....it would be a GREAT tour.......

.....and I'd hope their fans would appreciate it for all those GREAT reasons...it's an excellent idea! :thumbsup:

[Zomby Woof]

5. and it would piss off freepers galore!

:evilgrin:

6. Add Sheryl Crow and it would be a Hell of a concert.

Whoopie could be the warmup. Actually, I think is a great idea and there are a lot of women who you know would join in. Margaret Cho, Janine Garofalo - damn, you're on to something. Get going on it.

[Zomby Woof]

7. Sheryl!

Yes. She would be great.

Somehow she was lucky enough to escape the backlash for her antiwar tshirt, perhaps that was because it was before it started. Yet, the Dixie Chicks and Linda have born the brunt of mass hostility since.

Janine and Whoopi... hmmm... good good, yes yes.

13. I'd go anyway, just for the principle of the thing. nt

8. Legally I think you have to invite Ani DiFranco.

Not my idea. It's the law.

[Zomby Woof]

9. see?

This thing is snowballing. We'll have 30 performers on 5 stages, in 50 cities.

You get a cut for the idea, but my lawyers will call your lawyers to hash out the contractual details.

By the way, my lawyer is John Edwards, so good luck, BatBadger.

Edit: *ruthless promoter laughter*

[Bat Boy]

10. How nice for you. Meet my lawyer...

He fights dirty. Care to negotiate? Litigate? Have your ankles gnawed off?

[leftofthedial]

11. great idea

others on the bill could be Sheryl Crow and Emmylou Harris

[Zomby Woof]

12. I love Emmylou!

Great call.

[Old and In the Way]

14. Let's invite Bonnie Raitt, too.

I'm pretty sure she thinks Bush sucks, too.

Anybody every hear Linda sing "Colorado"? I've had a torrid 30 year love affair with that woman....damn shame we never met.

[Zomby Woof]

15. BONNIE

Yeah, she is one of us. :-) I have loads of her albums. She is a shining light.

[leftofthedial]

16. okay, Bonnie is in

I'll start calling their managers.

[leftofthedial]

17. maybe Whoopi could open
