now if they had released an album named shut up and sing. then if they got in trouble for what they said that would be irony. as it it it is just sarcasm.
oh they get in trouble in march and a book is released in october criticizing them. this sounds like textbook "taking advantage of the situation." she probably didn't even have a book until the chicks getting in trouble and she rushed it out to sell as many copies as she could. :evil:
as for the last line about the breakup after scouring the net it seems this story originated with the national enquirer. and with their rep i don't believe it. maybe when a more reputable newspaper confirms the rumor rather than state it is rumor. i might believe it but probably I'll just wait until it happens. then i will know it has happened.
this also came from the national enquirer.
bush on the bottlebtw get a clue :lol:
