Following weeks of protests about police brutality and racism, many activists have begun calling out the band Dixie Chicks to change their name, claiming the word Dixie harbors the epitome of white America.
The Dixie Chicks, a band composed of Natalie Maines and twin sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer, is a country band that was started in 1989.
The Chicks soared to popularity until a comment by Maines about President George W. Bush in 2003 sent their career on a downward spiral from which it never fully recovered. In London for a concert, Maines told the crowd in 2003, Were ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.

I forget the details but Sony was selling their music online and not sharing royalties with the band. The Dixie Chicks were being robbed, for sure, and the judge made an example out of the case by awarding a large damage amount.
fat dixie chunks
is that better?
The Left is in a quandary though; they can't oppose George Bush Jr. (the target of the 'Dixie Chicks' tirade) since the Left all cheer him for opposing President Trump.
Ah, the left will eventually eat their own.

I submit: “Fatter Than Wilson Philips”
Ditzy Clits...
And the country group basically told her to go pound sand, they're keeping the new name. Talk about white privelege.
Call em the Country Chicks.Though

Yup! Waylon Jennings son Shooter even has a song, or it an
album called “Put The O Back In Country”
That’s by a group named 2nd Carolina String Band I
believe and youtube also has a 6 minute version with
extra verses. Have gotten away with playing it on a college radio acoustic/folk show in Mass.
I also first heard Dixie Chicks’ Traveling Soldier via the folk show at WKSU, Kent State.
