Makes them a target? Makes it so that they can be judged harshly, their music taken off of the air completely? They are not recognized in the country music circle in the least now, all because of their opinions? Yet, Pink has a song that makes pretty much the same statement.... I doubt her music will be removed from the air, or that she will not be recognized at any of the various award ceremonies...
I'm proud to be a Dixie Chicks fan, I'm proud that they have stood up for themselves, I'm proud to be me, and able to stand up for what I believe in as well. I will never understand why people have turned their backs on such an amazingly talented group of women WHO HAPPEN TO SPEAK THEIR MIND! I thought this was America - free speach and all that... hmmm.
Yes, it's been a couple of years and I'm still irritated about it. Probably because I've not had the guts before now to speak up and say I'M with YOU Chicks! Because I fear confrontation, because I hate debates for the fear that I will be uninformed, or I will miss something that someone else didn't... and will be proven wrong. Well... go ahead and try to prove me wrong. I don't give a flying shit. HA! I believe what I believe, and I will always stand behind these women.
The lyrics of this song are so strong and so empowering! I love it!
If you haven't watched this before, watch it now, as a favor to me... just because.
I'm also proud to stand behind this woman and her words, this video made me cry!
