Sunday morning
I heard the preacher say
Thou’ shall not kill
I don’t wanna hear nothin’ else
About killin’ and that it’s God’s will

‘Cause our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They’re gonna be like us
So let’s learn from our history
And do it differently

(I hope)
For more love, more joy and laughter
(I hope)
We’ll have more than you’ll ever need
(I hope)
We’ll have more happy ever afters
(I hope)
And we can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery
(I hope)
I hope

Oh Rosie
Her man he gets too rough
And all she can say
Is he’s a good man he don’t mean no harm
He was just brought up that way

But our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They’re gonna be like us
It’s ok for us to disagree
We can work it out lovingly

(I hope)
More love, more joy and laughter
(I hope)
You’ll have more than you’ll ever need
(I hope)
You’ll have more happy ever afters
(I hope)
And you can all live more fearlessly
And you can lose all your pain and misery
(I hope)
I hope

There must be a way
To change what’s going on
No I don’t have all the answers

But I hope
(I hope)
For more love, more joy and laughter
(I hope)
You’ll have more than you’ll ever need
(I hope)
You’ll have more happy ever afters
(I hope)
And we can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery
(I hope)
I hope
And we can lose all the pain and misery

1. DChicks

I like the DC but heard about a week ago that they have lost a great deal of money (audience sizes) due to their courage in speaking out against the murdering liar in the WH, Bush. There was a quote from one of them saying they would rather have smaller audiences comprised of people who they felt comfortable with.

Do you know if this is true?

2. Welcome to DU!

Just ask the folks at Rolling Stone and they'll probably tell you the story is BS. For every fan the Dixie Chicks lost, they gained at least one more - and their concerts continue to sell out across America, so I don't think they're in any trouble.

Clear Channel, however, just said goodbye to a ton of advertising revenue that the Chicks could pull in - their lasted album charted #1 on Billboard without heavy radio support, so what does that tell you?

Welcome, and feel free to stick around. It's only going to get more interesting from here...

3. Nope I heard they were doing sold out crowds

And their new cd was/is #1 on Amazon or something.

Welcome to DU.
