Country Music's Bad Girls

If you think The Dixie Chicks are “ready to make nice,” then you are wrong. After being branded as country music’s bad girls, the trio of Natalie, Emily, and Marti are back. In their upcoming studio album entitled Taking the Long Way and their first single Not Ready to Make Nice, they stand tall in their convictions and remains non-apologetic for their public criticism of President George Bush at their 2003 London Concert. In the conservative world of country music, some may say their actions are career suicide. Indeed, after their comments, many radio stations banned their music and some fans refused to buy their CDs. As a country music listener and a Dixie Chick fanatic, all I can say is “Yee Haw.” I love these girls not just for their great music, but also for having the courage to figth for what they believe in. Can’t wait ’till their album comes out…
