Could dating the chick singer tear the band apart?

[rogerbmiller]

Two words. Fleetwood Mac.

Torched!

[Eric Swaim]

I don't think so, she will date you then drop you like a rock to further her career. You will just be dust in the wind, and your liable to piss off a few band members in the journey. Now this is worst case, best case is you'll get married, get a real job, and be changing diapers within 6 months. Good Luck with the relationship and the band

She's in the video. Really cute, however she looks like she might be like 15 years old. So if your like 15 or 16 it's cool, I guess.

• Yeah I saw them, the chic lead singer was really hot

• They have a new chic singer.

You're confusing “chic” (pronounced sheek) — as in “hip” or “trendy” — with “chick,” a colloquial term for “woman or girl.”

I personally think that “chick” went out around the same time as “groovy” and “far out.” But what do I know?

I guess nobody told you about me.

I live in my own world, make up my own rules and only play by my rules.

In my world it's chic and I have been using the term groovy since 1968, have never stopped and have no intetntion on stopping.

How nice that must be for you.

[Paul M]

Does she know that you call her the "chick singer"?

All the preceding discussion could be moot if she has any self respect.

[IncX]

as long as there's no money and no "hordes of fans" ... do it.

you'd find a better band... you'd get a nice chick.

I dont know your age or anything, but most younger girls do not object to the term "chick".

do you get the picture?

Absolutely unfounded. Maybe youve experienced this, but its not going to be the norm. Dating a girl that is also in a band (not the same band) doesnt mean it will cause conflict. Both my fiancee and I are in bands. If one of us has a gig, the other will be there, because we genuinely want to be. If we happen to both have a gig the same night, so be it, we'll see ech other at home. A girl who is in a band is going to understand the trials & tribulations and obligations that come with it.

Geez, we're calling grown women chicks and girls? To me, the former is a term used in my father's youth, and the latter by my grandfather. It's not current parlance. Anyone remember the 70s? Feminism? Women's liberation? Or were you all born after that?

[MatticusMania]

Youre funny.

[fourstringdrums]

So I don't want to read all of this. Did he ask her out or what?

It actually is, for some of us it's the only way we can make sense of anything.

Not saying there isn't a down side to it. I think most TBers have me on ignor, which I understand and I'm cool with it.

No, she got pissed because he refered to her as a girl...

Well I'm 58, so your ripping on my generation. That's cool, but believe me your generation is far from flawless.

Gender confusion?

You misunderstand. I'm not really "ripping" that generation, just reporting what I see as historical usage. My dad came of age in the 50s and he undoubtedly used the word “chicks”; my grandfather grew up in the 20s, and probably referred to his secretary and his dates as “girls.” Facts, not opinions.

True.

I can't believe no one here thinks calling a grown woman a “girl” or “chick” (the latter comes from the Spanish for “girl”) diminishes her?

Been there, lived it with the Women's Lib chicks. They had a sense of humor then, still do now. As long as we're alive it'll be current parlance. Now GTH off my lawn...
