While performing their 1999 hit Goodbye Earl, the country trio flashed a defaced picture of the Republican presidential nominee, 69, with devil horns, a mustache and a goatee during the opening night of the North American leg of their DCX MMXVI World Tour.
The Dixie Chicks Natalie Maines, Emily Robison and Martie Maguire are no strangers to making political statements during their shows. Just days before Iraq was invaded by a United States-led coalition in March 2003, Maines, now 41, slammed then President George W. Bush during a controversial performance in London.

Didn't know Natalie was back with them. Glad to see it. They are great musicians, and not afraid to say what everybody else is thinking, publicly.

Trump gets too much media coverage and then turn around and use his image to promote your concert tour or your painting exhibit, or your 100 nudes display... or...

(942 posts)8. i've heard goodbye Earl
my point is that Trump's critics are making him ubiquitous, not just in the campaign, but in the popular culture, and even avante guarde art
I just think they are helping his campaign by making him the "biggest thing out there". Focussing on him constantly, even for his opponents, is simply validating how powerful and influential he is.
