(tune: Travelin' Soldier, chorus)
ooh, I'm so sick
of listening to the Dixie Chicks
they stink and they're so boring
listen to them, you'll soon be snoring
They like Saddam Hussein
'Tween the three of them you won't find half a brain...

What Natalie should have done by the way was say something like "Well, we just don't like the President and what he did. Sorry but that's how we feel". Eventually country radio
might have welcomed them back (and in some cases stations have), but insulting their fanbase (country fans)
was what really made some people turn against them. I'm sure they were upset that some stations put a boycott on, spurred by fans, but they should have just said what I just mentioned and waited it out.
"Oh, we're not considering ourselves country (any more), we're rock/pop."
The "Not Ready to Make Nice" song referred no doubt to people getting upset over the 'We're upset Bush is
from Texas comment' but people can also interpret it as their giving the finger to their country fan base
ON TOP OF the post-remark comments.
Basically:
We're upset at what the President did and we're ashamed he's from Texas.
We're upset country radio boycotted us.
We're upset that those ig'nant redneck dumba-- country fans got upset at us.
We're upset that people stayed away from our tour and we had to cancel some dates.
What Nat should have done was just leave it as "OK, this our opinion, for what it's worth"--the further
insult of their fanbase is what turned off many people. And the expectation that they're entitled
to the airplay and people buying their albums. People used their right to NOT buy the album or NOT
see them on tour, and the gals say "oh! You're violating our free speech!"
I'm not from Texas but if I were were, I'd be ashamed of the Dixie Chicks for THAT alone.
