What’s good for the goose isn’t so good for the gander…
Today…what’s good for the goose isn’t so good for the gander… Tim & Faith sell out… in Nashville… and You Only Do It Once…or four times, in the case of Kid and Pam.
The Dixie Chicks kerfuffle flaps on – three years later – and this time it’s in the form of a documentary premiering at the Toronto Film Fest called “Shut Up & Sing.” Maybe on this side of the border the chicks’ll get a fair shake. But here’s the thing: maybe Willie Nelson oughta become the subject of the same debate. Willie has just come forward, to the Chicks’ defence, to talk about a remark HE made to press right around the same time as Natalie Maines’ little “we’re ashamed the Prez is from Texas” comment.
Now listen to what Willie said when reporters asked him about President Dubbya being a Texas cowboy. Willie said, “He’s not from Texas and he ain’t a cowboy, so let’s stop trashing Texas and cowboys.” What did Willie get for this little anti-patriotic effort? A giggle from his adoring media fans, that’s what. And that’s exactly, I say, what courtesy should have been extended to the Chicks. And that ain’t my final word on that.
Tim and Faith are world famous: Larry King and Oprah are their biggest fans. But the proof was in the puddin’ on Saturday night in Nashville, of all places, where the supercouple sold out their show. That’s right. SOLD OUT, in a town famous for people wanting free ticket handouts. Quite remarkable. Now I would have gone to see them too, except I never did receive my free ticket in the mail…
And finally, taking the marriage plunge is exciting, since you only do it once, right? Well, if you’re Kid Rock and Pam Anderson, you do it four times. That’s right –before the month is through, Pam says, she and her on again off again will have been married in France, Malibu, Detroit, and Nashville. Guess they’re just trying to make sure they get married more times than they divorce, and this is a surefire way!
The gruesome twosome celebrated wedding #1 in the south of france a couple of days ago – he in NY Mets cap, she in white string bikini. Does that fall under something old, something new, something implanted or something blue? Guests had a blast – including Elton John’s husband who pronounced the affair “Rock and Roll”. Just as long as Elton didn’t preside. Then things might actually get WEIRD. e
