DIXIE CHICKS HATCH VIDEO
| Texan
trio The Dixie Chicks also guest on Nu Country TV with a flashback
video of 'There's Your Trouble' from their fourth album 'Wide
Open Spaces.' The superstars were snubbed at the 37th CMA Awards in Nashville earlier this month and also black-banned by some U.S. corporate radio chains. They were also attacked by precious peers including Toby Keith. Ironically, Keith was snubbed by voters in the CMA Awards despite making the finals of seven categories and performing his new hit #1 hit, 'I Love This Bar.' Dixie Chicks sales soared here after a TV advertising blitz before their second Australian tour in spring. |

The trio
was rewarded here for its freedom of speech with hefty CD and DVD sales

MID PACFIC BOB - FIRE EXTINGUISHER NOT NEEDED
Expatriate
Californian culinary king Mid Pacific Bob Olson has removed the all purposes
fire extinguisher from his kitchen for this week's recipe Mole, pronounced
Moh-lay.
The Northcote High mathematics teacher and popular Nu Country DJ filmed
his segment quite a few weeks ago before exams.
But Bob was mighty peeved to note that his recipe had been pilfered by
a commercial TV show.
Imitation is a high form of flattery and Bob gives us his delicacy with
an accent few will copy.
