No Rock And Roll Fun

DOES ANYONE KNOW JUDSON COX?: We're assuming that he's some sort of comedy character - perhaps from Saturday Night Live? His opinion piece on the Dixie Chicks is guaranteed to have you rolling in the aisles - somehow, he's managed to extrapolate from Natalie Maine's comment that she was ashamed to come from the same state as Bush that she supported Saddam Hussein, moider, slaughter, "America's enemies" and so on. He then - or is it she? we've never met a Judson - states that any opinion from someone like the Dixie Chicks can be safely ignored, a point proved by the next couple of thousand words ignoring them. Oh, and apparently, the Entertainment Weekly cover was "soft core porn crossed with performance art for the lobotomized." Hilarious. I hope that Judson gets picked up to write for the Onion real soon.

Meanwhile, the Chicks themselves are adding their weight to Rock The Vote. Like 'Judson', we would have thought that there wasn't very much room for politicisation of the Chicks. It seems the war is having some really unexpected knock-on effects.
