Album of the Year
tonight at the Grammys. I don't usually care if a song has a message or a point or meaning, but this one does and it gets me every time I listen to it. Kudos to them for recording the best fuck-you-idiots anthem in the history of music and for not backing down on their opinions. Everyone is entitled to speak her mind, whether folks agree or not and to suggest that they should be arrested, maimed, killed, etc. is just beyond insane. It's a sad commentary on myriad things that are wrong with the thought-police mentality that has swept through this country lately--this Stepfordian attitude that we must all look, act, think and love just alike or else we're not only wrong, but we're unAmerican, terrorists or devil worshipers. Enough.
It's a sad, sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over
Damn straight. Sing it, girls. Sing it loud. Not everyone that listens to country music or lives in a red state thinks that opinions in women are somehow offensive.
VIDEO REMOVED BECAUSE THE MUSIC WAS NONSTOP.

I Love you Kimmah!
You sin wagon ridin bitch!
I didn't realize they won that many. Kudos to the Dixie Chicks - Earl's gotta die!
I'm no Country Music fan, but I love Not Ready To Make Nice.
At the time I thought the hullabaloo over the Dixie Chicks' opinions was pure idiocy. It's good to see them vindicated.
I'm right there with ya. I love them, love them, love them.
Congrats to them! I love that song! They totally deserve all of those awards and then some.
Truth #2 and Travelling Soldier are two of my favorite songs by them.
Of course Earl and Sin wagon rank right up there too. those are fun songs.
They absolutely rock in concert. I've seen them twice and I could go and see them 100 times.
I would love to have a Dolly Parton/Dixie Chicks concert. I could die happy the next day.
*jumps on the Sin Wagon*
Oops, I meant:
*jumps on the bandwagon*
I only had one complaint about the original comment that started the whole controversy: it was too narrow. I don't care what state W is from, I am ashamed that he is from America, period.
Hear, hear Sistah!
