December 14, 2006 The End of The Dixie Chicks
The Dixie Chicks have been together since 1989... But it seems Natalie Maines' political outspokenness has brought the end of the band!
Emily Robison, Martie Maguire & Natalie Maines have announced that they are going to split up after the Grammy Awards in February 2007.
The Chicks are tired & wrung out, they’ve come to the end & they want a break from each other to spend more time with their families.
But the real reason behind the split is political.
Robison & Maguire have supported many of Maines' political beliefs, even though it’s put their lives & the lives of their families in jeopardy.
"They’ve received death threats, & it’s made them all nervous wrecks.”
The Dixie Chicks are nominated for a few awards in the upcoming Grammy's; Record of the Year (Not Ready To Make Nice), Album of the Year (Taking The Long Way), Song of the Year (Not Ready To Make Nice), Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal (Not Ready To Make Nice), Best Country Album (Taking The Long Way), and Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical (Rick Rubin on Taking The Long Way.)

But it seems Natalie Maines' political outspokenness has brought the end of the band! Tis better to remain silent and be suspected a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I'm ashamed the dixie $!u+$ are from Texas. They have to be the worst Texas export ever. I hope they shut up and GO AWAY forever.

OK here's my take... most (yet not all) artists that are politically outspoken lack empirical and theoretical knowledge in subjects like history, geopolitics, economics and so forth. When they express their opinion, then it's nothing else but emotions (usually diatribe). You better be careful if you are on the spotlight.

They never quite got the concept of "Shut up and sing".........
Really, really stupid. Ignore their audience by betraying their country. How long did they really think they would last, anyway?

How ironic that President Bush lasted longer then they have....

even though it’s put their lives & the lives of their families in jeopardy. Yeah, like anyone would waste the time or powder it would take.
Chicks in a snit quit - end of story.

Now the whining leftists can employ a brand spanking new slogan when all their fellow braying jackasses get together to hate America, "Remember the MAINES!!!!!!"
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of ignorant bimbos.
