So, I'm trying to make a comeback
I'm trying to get into the habit of posting to this journal again, and my attempts have included long-ass summaries of I've been up to since my last post. Needless to say, that was too much work and I just never posted. Now, I shall get back into the swing of LJ postings by starting with a very short and simple entry about the Dixie Chicks and the Grammys:
I am not suggesting that the Dixie Chicks won so many awards last night because of the political tide turning or anything (though that seems to be a very strong possibility), but I felt that the comments they made and others made when receiving or presenting the awards were in poor taste. It's one thing to express your personal opinions about the war to your fans and audience members. But it's another to gloat about it and flaunt this sort of victory in front of a national audience. A little modesty can go a long way.
