As many of you know, I am a die hard country music fan. I have enjoyed the Dixie Chicks music since Grade 10, when I (not knowing who they were), ordered their CD from Columbia House. I have enjoyed every single album they have made.
Of course, when the contraversy started about a comment they made at a concert in Europe..I totally sided with them. They jokingly said pretty much " we do not support this war, and are ashamed that George Bush is from Texas", and laughed, and everyone cheered..and then radio stations banned them, and it was just nuts.
So I recently purchased their documentary video "shut up and sing"..and I loved it, I cried, I couldn't believe people could say such harsh things. Terrible. It broke my heart that people were and still are, turning their backs on such an incredible band.
I will NEVER EVER turn my back on them. One, b/c I don't really follow politics any, and Two..I'm sorry but I agree, that war was stupid and I don't even want to know how many innocent people died b/c of it.
That is my Dixie Chicks blurb! Stay tuned for my blog of the weekend with the Dauphin Boys (I am waiting until I get my camera back, so as to have a picture blog!
im not sure whether or not i support it, but i think it is stupid and not right to ban somebody for their opinion!!! Are we gonna ban bush as president just because he thought iraq needed help of usa troops???
