(story today about the Dixie Chicks)

....."Just so you know," says singer Natalie Maines, "we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." It gets the audience cheering - at a time when country stars are rushing to release pro-war anthems, this is practically punk rock.

I hope country music fans will get on the phone to their stations and demand that anti-American artists NOT be played on their stations. ... To criticize the POTUS on foreign soil at time of war is beyond the pale.

What quotes that were not used in the Guardian review seems as interesting as those that were. Maines' "ashamed" quote is the only Bush/war related quote used in that review. How do we know the Chicks weren't joking?
