Chicks to break with country scene

The Dixie Chicks say they don't want to be a country music
band any more.

Violinist Martie Maguire told Spiegel magazine: "We don't
feel part of the country scene any longer, it can't be our
home any more."

She said she was disappointed other country singers didn't
back up the Dixie Chicks in their criticism of George W
Bush's politics on Iraq.

"A few weeks ago, Merle Haggard said a couple of nice
words about us, but that was it," Maguire complained.

"The support we got came from others, like Bruce
Springsteen."

Going home empty-handed from the Country Awards
ceremony also made them decide to break with the scene,
Maguire said.

"Instead, we won three Grammys against much stronger
competition.

"So we now consider ourselves part of the big Rock 'n' Roll
family."

I can think of a dozen even more so called country acts that should follow them . Lets hope the producers and label heads along with a ton of DJ's feel the same way. Maybe theres some hope after all.

Country: Oh really?

Dixie Chicks: Yes they did, and we didunt do nuttin.

Country music: Well, what would it take for you to stay with me?

Dixie: well, we demand an apology from EVERY country musician, PLUS an apology from every one on this forum for all the bad things they said about us which we didunt deserve it. Like, you know, we didunt do nuttin. They just singled us outta the crowd and said naughty things about us.

Plus all the American people that were so uptight about us goun over on foreign soil and slamming a no good stinkun president.

Country music: Oh really?

Dixie Chicks: NO way! We would never do a thing like that.

We saw pictures of him with little children and he was jest the most handsome kinda man. Not like that trashy GWB. Why he's nuttun but a muderin cowboy from texas.

Oh jeez. I had a BUNCH of thoughts, but who wants to hear them, and do I want to be ostracized for having an opinion too? Doesn't seem worth it I guess. Ah, the land of the free... as long as you agree with the majority.[This message was edited by Nicholas Dedring on 22 September 2003 at 09:21 PM.]

The margins on this thread were making me dizzy, so I moved it over to the other "chicks" thread!

I've been missing you Fred....I hope you haven't got that new MSA worn out yet!
