Their diss on America (and that’s what it was) could possibly be forgiven, if asked. We are a very forgiving people.
1. They never asked.
2. The way they lashed out at their fans, when they were clearly in the wrong, can’t or at least won’t be forgiven.
3. Maines said the group didn’t need their fans. She was mistaken. Her fans don’t need them.
4. Yesterday, Sirius/XM The Blend played Landslide by Dixie Chicks. Three seconds in, when I realized it wasn’t Stevie Nicks, I changed the channel. 14 plus years later, they only play on my radio for a few seconds.
I was a huge fan, and they were the biggest thing in country music when Maines imploded. First she seemed to be upset that Toby Keith won Songwriter of the Year, then the whole sh*tty comment about the president while being paid to sing.
When the backlash wasn’t going away, they spit on country music fans, making fun of several country acts.
Have you heard of a new country singer named Cam? She has a song called “Burning House”. When I first heard it, I thought the Dixie Chicks had put out a new song and changed the channel. After I looked it up, I found it wasn’t them, and am loving it now.
