If they did that they would have to admit the cluckers made this mess themselves, and continue to keep digging the hole deeper as they go. They try to blame everyone except the ones responsible. So people have to be reminded why they are in the spot they are in.

The Dixie Chicks say they don't want to be a country music band any more.
Violinist Martie Maguire told Spiegel magazine: "We don't feel part of the country scene any longer, it can't be our home any more."

Dixie Chicks lead singer and Lubbock resident Natalie Maines has spoken out once again, this time attacking her hometown instead of the president ...
The lead singer spoke to the Vancouver Sun recently, saying, “but if you live in Lubbock, Texas, where I’m from—you just have one paper and one radio station and unless you’re savvy on the Internet, that’s it for you. If Bush said get a gun and kill an Arab, they would do that."

"I'd rather have a smaller following of really cool people who get it," says Maguire, "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. We don't want those kinds of fans. They limit what you can do."

Natalie's new motto is, 'What would Bruce Springsteen do?'" says Robison, laughing. "Not that we're of that caliber, but 'Would Bruce Springsteen do The View?'"

"A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what we stood for because that was promoting their career, which was a horrible thing to do," says Robison.
"A lot of pandering started going on, and you'd see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism."
"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

Well dont forget the quote where Natalie cliams she was never country to begin with...

"For me to be in country music to begin with was not who I was. I liked Martie and Emily's playing, but I did not grow up liking country music. And I guess I was ignorant to the fact that the stereotypes behind country music were true — and it was disappointing. And so at this stage, I can never... I would be cheating myself and not setting a good example for my children to go back to something that I don't wholeheartedly believe in. So I'm pretty much done. They've shown their true colors. I like lots of country music, but as far as the industry and everything that happened... I couldn't want to be farther away from that. And it's easier when you're financially set, because you can be a little more ballsy, and just do what you want to do. I don't want people to think that me not wanting to be a part of country music is any sort of revenge. It is not. It is totally me being who I am, and not wanting to compromise myself and hate my life."

And in the same article she goes on to say that GRAMMYS just arnt improtant to her...

"I mean, it's always an honor to be nominated for a Grammy, that's the most prestigious music award. But I just... I don't know, it's almost kinda sad, I don't really get excited about it anymore."

so why give one to her?
