dixie chicks

a three-"chick"-band that originally played country music. In 2003 they got blacklisted from the country establishment when they criticized George W. Bush and the Iraq War. C'mon people, this happens all the time in the worlds of rock and roll and jazz, and no one makes anything about it. Because the Chicks didn't fit the assembly-line template of today's country stars, they had to take a lot of shit from the intolerant comformist establishment in Nashville, especially Toby Keith and others. Country fans publicly trashed Chicks CDs because they expressed a different opinion. C'mon people! Either you like the music or you don't. I got albums from artists that have various opinions and points of view. It's the music that matters.
