Dixie Chicks Upset Talk Show

To be fair... we're all above doing The View.

SFGate:


Country trio The Dixie Chicks have infuriated the hosts of TV talk show "The View," after claiming they were "above" appearing on the show.

The band is very selective about which programs they appear on to promote their new album, Taking the Long Way, and say they hope to emulate their musical and political hero Bruce Springsteen.

In an interview with Time magazine, frontwoman Natalie Maines says her new motto is, "What would Bruce Springsteen do?"

Band member Emily Robison adds, "Not that we're of that caliber, but would Bruce Springsteen do 'The View'?"

After reading the article, angry "View" co-host Joy Behar ripped up the offending interview live on air Tuesday, declaring, "They're ... not doing ... 'The View.'

"It's one thing to diss the (George W.) Bush administration, it's treason to diss 'The View.'"

The show's moderator Meredith Vieira fumed, "We are furious. This is obnoxious, obnoxious.

"We started these girls -- back in 1998, they couldn't get arrested. We were one of the first national shows to give them a platform, because they deserve a platform -- they are incredibly talented performers."

"It's one thing to diss ... (Below threshold)

"It's one thing to diss the (George W.) Bush administration, it's treason to diss 'The View.'"

Perhaps this was meant tongue-in-cheek. But I think there's a lot of truth to it and is an indication of our cultural priorities. Say what you want about our political leaders, but the gods of the entertainment world are not to be slighted.

Behar is still alive? Gawd.... (Below threshold)

Behar is still alive? Gawd. I thought she was only on because she is older than Walters, sort of like the contract for Vivian Vance to weigh 15 pounds more than Lucy. Beehar must remain 15 years older than Walters

Well good for the old nag
