Not good enough—all song lyrics must now be submitted to leftist censors.

Antebellum means “before the war,” but it wasn’t widely associated with the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865) until after that conflict was over. The word comes from the Latin phrase ante bellum (literally, “before the war”), and its earliest known print appearance in English dates back to the 1840s. The term’s earliest known association with the Civil War is found in an 1862 diary entry: “Her face was as placid and unmoved as in antebellum days.” The author of that line, Mary Boykin Miller Chesnut, recorded her observations of life during the Civil War in A Diary from Dixie, often while accompanying her husband, an officer in the Confederate army, on his missions.

Not good enough. Everyone knows what the ‘A’ is for.

Maybe they will go the way of the Dixie Chicks. Can’t happen too soon.

This reminds me a bit how “NARAL - Pro Choice America” denies that the initials NARAL stands for the National Abortion Rights Action League. Officially they changed their name, but deny that the initials stand for the original words in the name of the organization.

So Lady A will deny that the A stands for Antebellum, even though they rose to fame with that name.

Isn’t the word “Lady” somehow offensive to feminists, and if so, how do they justify keeping the “Lady” in their name?

So when will The Dixie Chicks change their name to The D Chicks?

Yeah, and then they can leave out the space and the CH.

Been calling them “Chicks with Dix” for years, anyway.
