I recently read that the Dixie Chicks documentary Shut Up and Sing has been picked up for worldwide release and that they were shuned from the CMA's. First of all, let's talk about the documentary. I personally can't wait to see them take another stand on their right to freedom of speech. After all this is America and everyone has a right to his or her opinion whether we agree or not. It is understandable that they would receive backlash after all they did attack the President but wouldn't you say it's about time to give the girls a break?!
Secondly, it is really a shame that country music has decided not to play the DC on the radio causing them to not land any CMA nominations. Although now that I think about it maybe that's not such a bad thing. Sounds like a perfect opportunity for them to build a new fan base.
All I know is I enjoy listening to their music and like that the push the envelope. Artist should make us think and challenge our beliefs after all isn't that the beauty of living in America!
