They had platinum albums on the walls, Grammys on the shelves, and the adulation of millions of Middle Americans. Then they said what they thought about the Iraq war, and all hell broke loose. Now, despite death threats and boycotts, the Dixie Chicks are at it again!
The Dixie Chicks, they got it right the first time-Bush is an embarrassment!
If you're a progressive, buy the Dixie Chicks' new album when it comes out in May and remind assholes like Toby Keith how wrong they were!
I don't even like 'country' music and I'm buying one...I look at it as a freedom of speech issue.. And after all, Natalie Maines was right - and she was right before we went into Iraq-she's not some johnny-come-lately! She had far more guts than most of you! "Originally slated for release in April, the [the Dixie Chicks] album, Take the Long Way, has now been pushed back a month until May. But this week, we have learnt that the Chicks have taken the opposite tack. There is, for instance, one song entitled "Lubbock or Leave It", apparently an attack on narrow-minded small-town America. We have not heard it yet.
But, through their website, the band's members have allowed early release of "Not Ready to Make Nice". Rather than expressing sorrow for the upset she caused her fans, she instead uses to the song to raise her middle finger. The track is an expression of despair at those who deserted her and threatened her with death.
Click on the website, DixieChicks.com, to hear the music yourself". Killer lyrics-In your face for those of you who think Maines is backing down! And, why the hell should she?
