when you are in a slump with girls you start dating a couple that you are not interested in. because whenever you are dating one more come around. Its like fishing, you don't eat the worm on your hook do you?

"The rock stars of country" have their roots in Texas. The name Dixie Chicks is borrowed from a song by the blues-rock band Little Feat.
They have earned Grammys for Best Country Album and Best Country Vocal Performance by a Group; Academy of Country Music Awards for Album of the Year, Top Vocal Group, and Top New Vocal Group; and an American Music Award for favorite New Country Artist. On top of that, the Country Music Association presented the Dixie Chicks with a Horizon Award, and the band was also named Vocal Group of The Year as well. More recently, the CMA nominated the group for Entertainer of the Year.
Unfortunately, no one thinks about this. Lead singer Natalie Maines made a comment regarding President Bush, and the backlash was astonishing. It ranged from applause and claims that they were practicing free speech to death threats and crushing of albums.
In spite of this, their recent album is already a bestseller, and their fame seems only to have grown.

The Dixie Chicks are talented, and they worked hard to get where they are, but everything they ever did was rendered meaningless when one member said fifteen words.

When a left-leaning public figure is aggressively made the target of potentially career-harming criticism from well-connected right-leaning individuals, institutions or news outlets, as in the way the Dixie Chicks were lambasted for their opposition to the Iraq war in 2003.
Paul Krugman definitely got Dixie Chicked by Donald Rumsfeld after that op-ed where he said the neocons tried to use 9/11 as an excuse to go to war.
