Tarnation! "F.U." Toby Keith shut out at CMA Awards

0-for-7 nominations. Yeee-HAW!!!

I believe he gave some public hell to the dixie chicks, too

I don't know?

About the Dixie Chicks, which means he's confused and embaressed about supporting the war.

Boy did he get a a big fat lip tonight. Ouch.

to me at least. I don't consider that fat, either. She isn't a bone thin woman, but she's attractive. Good for the Dixie Chicks for sticking it to TK after they apologized for speaking against Bush (fuck that).

if fat is that... then 5% of america isnt fat.

Bout time somebody stopped using the starving women in entertainment as a basis for determining what fat is. Compared to women like Carrie Ann Moss and Laura Flynn Boyle, Ghandi was FAT.

and raise you a "praise Allah/JHWH/God/Goddess/whatever you worship" in return. I've never been into the anorexic-looking wimmen that pass for "beautiful" nowdays. Give me a brilliant woman with a charming personality and some nice feminine curves to match and who has a mind of her own and doesn't take any guff from some sh!tkickin' redneck @$$whole pickup-selling no-talent-having moranic asshat any day.

Kudos to the Chicks, and shame on Toby Keith. What goes around comes around.

You two would get along famously. My hubbie is a big fan of curves on women. He thinks that Bettie Page (the original 36-24-36) was almost too thin. The public perception of what is an acceptable body type has been grossly skewed by television and film. Courtney Thorne Smith left Ally McBeal because she was having too hard a time keeping up with staying as bone-thin as the other women. Body fat is necessary on a woman. It stores estrogen. Without adequate body fate, women are suseptable to all sorts of aliments: heart disease, osteoporosis, and so on.

I also live in Minnesota, where the winters are notoriously cold and cruel. If you don't have an extra layer of fat protection, you're miserable for four months of the year.

You sure as heck don't want to snuggle up to some anorexic on a cold night when you've got four blankets on the bed and your cats are too afraid to peak their heads out from under the covers for fear of getting frostbit. No way. Gimmee a woman with something to hold onto and wrap your arms around. Mmmm-mmmmm......now that's living!

:hi:

cuting edge analysis. Mr. Foran might have considered a slightly different rearrangement on your handle when he signed on.

Nobody's perfect. She still looks fat to me.

like someone said below, perhaps Ann the Man is more to your taste?

Besides it's a sexist cover

dude, you're getting funnier with each shovelful... promise you'll keep digging!

and yet you call a woman is probably at her correct weight (not underweight like those idiotic anorexic models they parade around in ads) fat. Very interesting.

The issue here is Toby Keith, his ignorance and his lack of awards. That Natalie had the gumption to say something about Bush*, then stood up to to CHickenhawk Keith with her t-shirt generates this kind of feedback from you? Please re-think your response - its demeaning to her, its demeaning to women, and it adds nothing worthwhile to any discourse on the Keith topic.

on edit - I think she's pretty hot, personally.

putting your image up for scrutiny.

Another efficient dispatch, moderators!

:)

..you prefer the Anne Coulter type?

So we can critique your physique.

A photograph of a woman who's not a stick figure? Who let that happen? How dare she show her face and body in public?

:nopity:

NOT!!!

Don't follow this, so scuse my ignorance but were the Chicks up for anything? Did they win?

They weren't even there. It was Alan Jackson/Johnny Cash night.

And I dont even have to tell you about Johnny Cash.

Excellent for the CMA voters!

Sweet!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I am so GLAD that fool lost.

I thought only rednecks listened to country music?

Some of us listen to all kinds of music.

only rednecks. No reason for sophisticated people to appreciate Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, the Louvin Brothers, the Carter family, or any other country artists AT ALL. This board looks more and more like Free Republic every day with these prejudiced comments flying around.

Shania Twain

... such as my friend in Alabama with a hound dog, a gunrack on his well-used Ford pickup truck, Old Glory decals in the windows, and a bumper sticker on the back of that battered pickup that says "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS / IMPEACH BUSH." He's a good ol' boy who loves hunting, camping, target shooting, campaigned for Bill Clinton, and is leaning toward Clark ("Hey, you gotta pull for the home team...."). He's also a fan of the Dixie Chicks and Phish (yes, they have their Southern fans too).

Fact is, our party needs progressive Redneck sh!tkicker good ol' boys in favor of unions, single-payer health, and better Veterans' benefits -- bring 'em on!

...except they're farmers in southern Minnesota. Not only that, they organized for farmers unions in the 70s and 80s, when agribusiness first started putting the hurt on family farmers. They're my kind of people-- down-home, no-nonsense, friendly, hard-working, do-anything-for-you types who'd give you the shirt of their back (even if it was the only one they had) if they thought you needed it worse than they did. One of the reasons I married into the family I guess! :D

Give me them over the limousine liberal trial lawyer types any day of the week.

And I can see the Phish affection, too-- Phish, like the Dead, have a country/southern rock element in their music. Not so much Charlie Daniels as Allman Brothers, who were notorious for their extended jams. Which is part of the reason it's so popular, and so addictive.

his song "I'm So Happy I can't Stop Crying" about 5 years ago which catapulted him on the map. The remake became a hit, he sang with Sting on the CMA awards that year.

and realize this Frankenstein he was creating would become the "boot in yer ass" hero to morans everywhere.

Really, after Sting sold out "every breath you take" to Puffy, I'm not in the least surprised by this. But exactly how was he to know 5 years ago that this tow-headed cretin would become, as EW terms him, "AMerica's Angriest Redneck"?

... a songwriter can control who records their work. They are entitled to royalties, based on sales, of the song.

Anyone more knowledgable feel free to correct me :)

If you, the songwriter, also control your publishing rights (or the publishing company who owns the publishing rights), you can keep FULL control over who can/cannot record your song. However, most people who do this don't make as much money on royalties and residuals, as they don't let any ad agency use their stuff to sell breakfast cereal and underwear.

If, however, you have sold your publishing rights to a publishing company, you usually have no control over who uses your song and for what purpose. Most young songwriters do this, mainly because the publishers tend to pay decent money for songs. And, if you're just starting out, you need any money you can get so you don't have to work at Dairy Queen to pay the rent.

I've got a little experience in this area, and I've chosen to "self-publish" my songs, which means I control 100% their use and re-use. I'm not doing it full time, so I haven't relicensed my songs much and subsequently have not made a lot of money at it.

So far, my songs have appeared on a self-released CD by my band, and a 30-second loop of one song appeared on a commercial website (for which I made a whopping $500, which I split with the other two guys in my band). However, I've seen other people get burned in publishing deals and I really have no desire to go that route. :)

(awards won vs. nominations)

Dixie Chicks are now 10 for 18 (.555 batting avg)

And my man Jimmy Buffett FINALLY wins an award! Woohoo!!

:toast:

Just curious, is this peer voting or by an official committee or a combo.

Any which way Toby's sucking wind.

too. Makes me sick these country guys trying to make money off of 9/11. Wave the flag, get more fans, make more money.

idiot dolts.

... and now it's Toby Keith's turn to get a little of his own negative vibes back!

God Bless the USA, where healthy liberal values will ultimately redeem us.

As for Mr. Keith's spate of bad luck... well, BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-

if the awards are peer voted or fan voted? Is it a grammy or a people's choice, in other words.

"CMA award winners are chosen in voting by industry professional members of the Country Music Association. Thus, award winners are honored by their peers in the music industry."

blowing off Toby and Daryl....}(.


Thanks for the answer.

over the past several years. Well, Toby, there's your answer. You can go back to being sour grapes.

Hahahaha!!!!

(not that I care, I'm not a C&W music fan)

Not a big country music person myself.

asswipe.

Just another two-bit whore trying to make a buck off of the system......takin' advantage of 9/11....just like Bush.

The CMA are just another bunch of whores doing the same damn thing. They loved good ol' Toby when the iron was hot for the war but since it is beginning to cool off they went for the sure thing............a dead icon, Johnny Cash and a guy that is very hard to dislike, Alan Jackson. They are still the same CMA that dissed the Dixie Chicks. They are still all whores.

Just what the arrogant, ignorant, self-serving, ass deserved! He needed to be brought down a peg. :bounce:
