I never thought much about them, one way or the other. But when they did the song and video about murdering an abusive husband (Goodbye Earl).  The celebration of murder, complete with partying and dancing, regardless of cause, was obscene.  That was 1999.  I was dismissive of them from then on.

Me too.

As an only tepid follower of country music (I'm a blues-rocker) I heard the song, but never paid attention to the lyrics until I heard my daughter singing them. Needless to say it instantly grabbed my attention! From that point on the station changed as soon as a DC tune came on...

Their goofy imbecilic stabs at politics only reaffirmed my initial impression of them as (dixie) twits of the first order.
