Remember 2003?
There was the comment:

“Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.”
Natalie Maines
Dixie Chicks singer

Then there was the reaction:









"We're starting to catch on," Methodist pastor and regional protest organizer Blick Franklin told The Holy Observer in a phone interview. "After purchasing all 87 of Best Buy's Dixie Chicks CDs in Austin, I started thinking, 'This seems oddly counterproductive.'"

That's when Franklin began the "Burn to Burn" campaign, which has built up quite a following. He explains, "Now we just download their songs for free on Kazaa and burn them onto CDs. Then we burn the CDs! When you break God's law you pay."

When asked regarding breaking God's law what he meant by 'we download their songs for free,' Franklin sounded confused, responding, "What do you mean? We can just download them… it's free."--Holy Observer, June 15, 2003

"I along with my family and freinds will for ever boycott the Dixie Chicks. Our father's, son's, mother's, and daughter's are over there fighting for our country, and they had no right to say the things they did. Guess its time for them to stay home and have their baby's now."--Dorie

WELL, BOO HOO!


Go on GIRLZ!

It is now March 2006, three years after the London incident, and the grudge is still on. There are still radio stations that refuse to play the Chicks music, including those in Lubbock, Texas, Natalie's hometown.

What are the Dixie Chick's doing? They are preparing to drop their latest album on 23rd May 2006, and their first single Not Ready to Make Nice is HOT.


Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting
