The Dixie Chicks release their new album, Taking the Long Way, late in May, but dont look for them to soften up.
A few stations around the country are playing the first single, Not Ready to Make Nice, which refers to the backlash the band received for speaking against the Bush administration in 2003.
The song features the lyric Im mad as hell and I cant bring myself to do what it is you think I should, and the video shows the trio as leads in The Crucible, Arthur Millers play based on the Salem witch trials.
The video can be seen on the usual suspects AOL, Quicktime, Yahoo! Music, VH1 and MTV and on the Chicks site, dixiechicks .com.
I am not ready to be a nice girl and listen to them, anymore.
Cmt is owned by Viacom. They also own MTV VH1 annd VH1-Country and just recently bought GAC (great american country). Viacom also owns CBS and the uber liberal Sundance Channel that ran the Vote For Change tour ad naseum. !They have a liberal agenda to push and make no secret about it.
You can see what all they own here:

Talk about your monopolies.
They are basiaclly trying to re-program "country" so they become liberals.
VH1-Country and CMT are among the top 10 stations playing this song. So is Satelite Radio. Stations that do not listen to their audience are playing the song. Stations where airtime can bought are playing this song. Everyone else is all but ignoring it at the request of their listeners.
Viacom has played it over 70 times in the last week. It doesnt matter how may times you write or call Vicaom, they do not care that you do not want to hear it. They have slanted their programming towards the left and damn you if you dont follow.
If CMT is not promoting the chicks, they promote Bruce Springsteen, if they arnt promoting him they are promoting Willie...beginning to see a pattern? I stopped watching Viacom a long long time ago.
