Let's talk about the Dixie Chicks
I love them. Their new album came out today and I have it. It fabulous. What I love the most about it is that they didn't make it for the traditional country fan. They made it for them. It's quite political and I'm glad that they refused to shut up and take it. To all people who call them unamerican for voicing their opinion of the president, I say there is nothing more American that using the freedoms that our forefather fought for. They did not die so we can live in silence and fear of retribution upon voicing our opinions. Sometimes I don't know why I listen to country being that I don't fit the country mold of being conservative and believing in God. The DC new album is more towards the pop side but still has a country feel to the music. I'm sure this was intentional because of the shunning of the Dixie Chicks by many country radio stations. I want to go see their tour this summer in Columbus but I can't go myself because that looks lame. Someone come with me! I need to go!
