I can't argue with the Dixie Chicks

Have you been following the Dixie Chick saga?  They are the country group who is STILL under fire for their negative comments about George Bush in London the night before the Iraq invasion started.  You may know the story, the jingoists amongst us went nuts and they were banned from country radio.  They have been gone for a few years to raise their families but they are back and even as a conservative, I LOVE THE NEW SONG.

Country stations across the country are not playing their new song "Not Ready to Make Nice" because the chicks have decided to stick to their guns and fight back.  The song basically tells the "establishment" to "suck it."  Bravo!  I love it.  Not only is the song great but the fact that they are telling Bush and his cronies to "eat it" is outstanding.

NOBODY should have to suffer for saying what they think, the Chicks have been suffering for comments they made on foreign soil, but who cares!  Say what you think is right, sing what you feel is right.  I am not a fan of "artists" bitching politics, but I am a fan of people saying what they believe without being harassed for it.

I bought the song today because I like it and believe they have a right to speak!
