Some people give me grief for posting about the Dixie Chicks. These people can kiss my ass. The Chicks were anti-Bush before anti-Bush was cool. Anyhoo, the new movie “Shut Up and Sing” from two time Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Barbara Kopple and Cecelia Peck that chronicles the lives of the Dixie Chicks from 2003 to the start of their 2006 tour.
All the highs, lows and death threats that occurred just before and for the three years following “the incident†are all here. The personal attacks, personal growth, a changing world, making music, having babies, receiving death threats, and even a fair amount of laughter.
I did then, do now and always will back my girls from Big D.
also check out the Chicks on VH1 Storytellers.
I support these chicks no matter what anyone says. It amazes me how many people will tell you to shut up and do whatever it is that you do. I believe that people act as terrorist and not patriots who threaten artist, authors and activist who speak their mind.
Great post…
brave? peace? these words do not describe the dixie chicks. natalie maines an icon of our time? many people think shes just a fat little loud mouth coward. only the people who think her way are giving that group (dixie chicks) any type of awards for music. the United States will fall because of people just like the dixie chicks too ignorant to understand what happened on 9/11/01. the world is a dangerous place and i think natalie is too stupid to see that we are under attack and we are at war. people just 65 years ago had her same attitude….they walked right into big ovens.
Dan, dude, you’re a paranoid little douche bag.
