Review: Shut Up & Sing

[scottish_like]

On the box for the DVD of this Dixie Chicks documentary is a blurb from Mark Warren of Esquire: "This great American story makes you want to stand up and cheer!" By the end of watching this I was standing up and cheering, but it wasn’t to ask them to keep singing

I thought it was kinda sorta.

You left the parts about the babies...and that Natalie is married to Adrian Pasdar. Did you even pay attention? What about the fortune teller? Gawd!

Kinda sorta WACK.

For real, I thought it was supposed to be the story about how they were shun shun shunned and people said their career was over, but they managed to work their way back into the grammy winning mainstream.

My expectation was that it was Dixie Chick navel gazing from jump, so I got what I expected.

When we need to hear someone's thoughts about an issue, any issue, it is almost never a celebrity's thoughts. I did hear Alec Baldwin can write a coherent sentence, though.

No doubt. I mean, you don't WANT to stereotype a gang of grown folks like this and say, "Of course, they're stupid; they're country musicians", but then they open their mouths and the jelly sandwiches fall out.

Of course, Willie Nelson is a very fun read. He's a wiley old coot.

I like jelly sammiches.

Darn!! That's a disappointment.

Gotta just say: Amen. This had nothing to do with free speech, and the movie's just proof (and another way for them to make a little money?)...
