Chicks to break with country scene
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."
She said she was disappointed other country singers didn't back up the Dixie Chicks in their criticism of George W Bush's politics on Iraq.
"A few weeks ago, Merle Haggard said a couple of nice words about us, but that was it," Maguire complained.
"The support we got came from others, like Bruce Springsteen."
Going home empty-handed from the Country Awards ceremony also made them decide to break with the scene, Maguire said.
"Instead, we won three Grammys against much stronger competition.
"So we now consider ourselves part of the big Rock 'n' Roll family."

Looks like the Dixie Chickens are running.
Mods, checked for this story.... not posted. Added Dixie to title for clarification.
Thank God they're leaving.

Their reasoning is sound.

"So we now consider ourselves part of the big Rock 'n' Roll family."Good...they'll fit right in with the no-talent female pop-rockers like Madonna and Britney, and maybe I won't have to change the radio station as often!

Cripes, they make a stupid, immoral, lunatic, idiotic, and seditionist statement and expect support for it?!
What kind of idiots are they?
Don't answer that, they're the Ditsy Chix, they're those kinds of idiots.
"So we now consider ourselves part of the big Rock 'n' Roll family."
Yeah, because there's more spoiled Anti-American goobers in the rock/ pop scene. They should fit in just fine.

"We don't feel part of the country scene any longer, You're not. In spirit, it's doubtful you ever HAVE been.
it can't be our home any more."
That part you got right. Maybe you'll be more comfortable with rappers or Marilyn Manson.
