Is Forever Enough?For the weekend, I thought I'd leave you with photos of the seven peeps taken during this last tour: Natalie with Slade and Beckett Henry on the loose! Martie and the twins Brent gives Gus a haircut, which was not particularly welcome Julesy gives Anne butterfly kisses Hope you and your peeps have a great weekend! DCX in ATLWhoops, I forgot to link to the new "Whistling Dixie" article, which is now up on the main page. You can read more about the Sing-A-Long that took place backstage, among other things. Above is a floor-level view of the pink shoe showdown between Charla, who is mentioned in the article, and Natalie. Leave your comments below! But I Do Think This Could Negatively Affect TeaIn addition to getting the approval of the optimistic Lipton Tea representative (featured in Shut Up and Sing), the Dixie Chicks are racking up more critical kudos, above and beyond the quintet of Grammy nominations. Among other things:
Five Grammy Nominations!The Chicks look good next to a gramophone, don't they? What a way to end a tour. Martie, Emily, and Natalie woke up from their first day of vacation to discover the news that they just scored the coveted trinity of Grammy nominations: (1) Record and (2) Song of the Year (for "Not Ready to Make Nice") and (3) Album of the Year (for "Taking The Long Way"). They are the only artist to score a nomination in all three of the big categories. Guess who's returning to the Staples Center in February? If you ask me, it's an amazing accomplishment, given what little support they've received from radio. To my surprise, they also earned nominations for (4) Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and (5) Best Country Album. Unfortunately, they did not get nominated for Best Polka Album. Rick Rubin, who produced "Taking The Long Way," also garnered a nod for Best Producer. (He worked on three of the Album of the Year nominees, which easily makes him a shoo-in for the award.) For those who wrote the Chicks off back in 2003, this news is quite the coup de grace. More to come. Breaking The Rules at Austin City LimitsOutside the dressing room at Austin City Limits in the KLRU studios, there is a sign that says "No Autographs." Tonight, the naturally rebellious Chicks refused to follow, as you can see from the photo above. The Chicks just finished taping a great set on Season 32's finale of Austin City Limits. The episode will air on January 20, give or take a few days. Before a crowd of only 300 or so people, the Chicks ended the tour and their 2006 musical journey with "Wide Open Spaces," shortly before all the equipment was packed up and everyone said their farewells. You'll eventually be able to read all the details in a forthcoming article on the main MSN page. The approvals will probably take awhile, so be patient. Thankfully, you don't have to be very patient to find out whether the Chicks will receive any Grammy nominations, since they're about to be announced in a few hours. The Last StopHere's a photo from last night's show in Dallas, the last stop of the Accidents and Accusations Tour. But don't you worry ... there's lots more good stuff to come in the coming weeks. So nobody needs to jump off a cliff just yet. Signs The End Is NearThe Chicks are now deep in the heart of Texas. While you wait for updates, here are some photos of signs that surfaced in recent shows. The remaining fan pics will show up in a photo album eventually, don't you worry. No comment. Unfortunately, the woman having the baby didn't quite make the picture. Snakes on a ChickLast time the Chicks visited the Australia Zoo, Emily was filmed on television with the python draped on her shoulders. On this tour, Natalie was the one documented with a scaled reptile necklace -- this time one with a pale yellow tapering body and dalmatian spots. I love this photo because you get a sense of how much Natalie becomes like a little kid when she is around animals. Although her favorites are the monkeys, you can see she's quite the snake charmer. The only problem with this pic is that it kind of reminds me of something else ... Come to think of it, this photo of Natalie ... ... reminds me of another famous celebrity as well ... Me thinks Natalie has officially become a pop star. |
