The Dixie Chicks should be seen and not heard.
"I hate it,' she said. "It's ignorant, and it makes country music sound ignorant. It targets an entire culture - and not just the bad people who did bad things. You've got to have some tact. Anybody can write, 'We'll put a boot in your ass.' But a lot of people agree with it. The kinds of songs I prefer on the subject are like Bruce Springsteen's new songs.
This says it all....she prefers songs on the subject like Bruce Springsteens. I only listen to country occassionally when my daughter is in my car....boy the dj's on the country station were going off on how hypocritical this Dixie chick is.
Besides being new-aged, poppy-commercial, barf inducers, they couldn't keep up with most half-baked bluegrass musicians gigging at your local dive, and they know it.
Let's see how their doing in 5 years (or less) when they're not so cutesy anymore.
From the people who brought you that meaningful tune, "Goodbye, Earl."
Oy flipping Vey.
I guess her song about killing Earl was genius!
Bwahahaha!!!
I saw the Dixie Chicks on "Rock and Roll Jeopardy" and wanna talk about three women with a collective IQ of around 60! All the questions were music-related and still they knew nothing! They could have asked them the color of the sky and they probably would have guessed wrong. Jeez! Those chicks were so dumb that they made the celebrities on SNL's "Jeopardy" parody look like MENSA members.
"I hate it,' she said. "It's ignorant . . ."
That seems rather intolerant for a whining lib. For such a big star, Dixie Hick Natalie has only 39 members at her web forum . . . Why, I suspect that if someone were to post the link here at FR her membership might grow unexpectedly.

A pretty ironic statement, defending a culture that otherwise would never let her or her "chicks" raise their burkhas to whisper a note of their brand of "tactful" music, if forced to live under islamic rule (which is their end state). Looks like the ignorance is on them, as usual.
I hate their music, it's insipid, it's uninspiring and it makes country music sound like the worst kind of assembly line pap. The kind of country music I prefer is Waylon Jennings, Dwight Yoakam, George Jones. I also like Toby Keith because he sings what he believe and is true to his music. Unlike some cookie-cutter, talentless boobs who dress like hookers and sing plain-vanilla songs that are written for them by others.

Natalie, I love you chix, but find it kind of catty to knock somebody else's song as "ignorant" when you perform one called 'White Trash Wedding' on your first appearance on the Grand Old Opry. tsk, tsk, tsk.
The Dixie Chicks need to examine becoming a crossover group - as in crossing over the Atlantic and doing the Euro-weenie routine, because they'll fit in much better there...

American girls and American guys
Will always stand up and salute
Will always recognise
When we see Old Glory flyin'
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our heads
My daddy served in the Army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in the yard
Til the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother,
My sister, and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free
Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in
From somewhere in the back
But as soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the Fourth Of July
(Chorus)
Hey, Uncle Sam put your name
At the top of his list
And the Statue Of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the Eagle will fly
And there's gonna be Hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like
The whole wide world is rainin' down on you
Oh, brought to you courtesy
Of the Red, White, And Blue
Oh, justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The US of A
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way
(Chorus)
Hey, Uncle Sam put your name
At the top of his list
And the Statue Of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the Eagle will fly
And there's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like
The whole wide world is rainin' down on you
Oh, brought to you courtesy
Of the Red, White, And Blue... oh
Of the Red, White, And Blue... oh
Of my Red, White, And Blue... oh
She epitomizes my favorite pet peeve about life here in Nshville which I otherwise love:
Spoiled ass white liberals who have to feel good about everything. They are truly an ignorant bunch from health care billionaires to the music row idiots and the performers. I was shocked a few weeks ago to see a Marsha Blackburn(Conservative)election poster in the front yard of one of the industry's leading label heads on Tyne boulevard during the recent primaries.
Contrary to public perception, many on the Row are just a liberal as La-La-Land. Yuck. The Chicks owe all of it to their producer Oaul Whorley and their main writer Marcus Hummon. Spolied ass little chunky brat, I'd like to stick a sock in that damn mouth of hers. Get yer hefty arse on back to Highland Park or Plano if you're embarrassed honey!
Ashamed in Music City.
