Yep, FatNatalie basically said that Toby Keith's "Angry American" was basically the kind of "hillbilly redneck" song that made people look down on country.

But didn't they have a song called "White Trash Wedding"?

"I'd rather have a small following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith," Maguire said.

Where do you begin with that kind of thinking?

So are we to infer that "the fans" that listen to other music, rather than the music of just the Dixie Chicks aren't worthy of attention?

Does that mean the Dixie Chicks won't do anyone else's music, except their own?

Musicians usually don't diss other fellow musicians, but this seems to me to be a real slap in the face to other musicians, and those who like music by other artists.

How childish are these people?

They have some growing up to do.

Yep... The Dixie Chicks are about as traditional country as you can get (unlike Faith Hill/ Shania Twain), which is why is so amusing that they think they can make it as pop. stars.
