dixie chicks anti-establishment or opportunistic?

0 comments | Thursday, May 25, 2006

This is an interesting article on some of the trials and tribulations that the Dixie Chicks have faced since one of them made a comment about being embarrassed that George W. Bush was from the state of Texas. It's my recollection that the Dixie Chicks were kind of embarrassed at the time Natalie Maines made the comment; but now the Dixie Chicks are being held up as courageous and strong willed critics of the Bush administration who had the vision to condemn Bush and the war before it was popular. I don't have time to research this at the moment, but the way the Dixie Chicks are coming out now as if they were so strong to stand by Natalie Maines's comments even in the face of a firestorm seems fishy to me.
