All these people writing on this blog. The part I find funny is that most or all of them would like to consider themselves "ADULTS." I find this funny because as a parent an adult just wants to teach their kid what is right and wrong in this world. As a child myself it kinda cracks me up because you all have nothing better to do than to talk smack about a band or a group, Who has fame and fortune. I don't really care if you like their music or not but instead of listining to their music and talking about how much you "disagree" with it and how the music shouldn't be played on the radio's just shut up and turn the station. No one strapped you down into a chair and MADE you listen to it. So do the adult thing and change the station when their music is playing or change the channel on the T.V if you hear someone talking about them. Like when I'm listining to a song on the radio that I don't like I either grin and bear it and listen to it for the full 3 minutes it's on or I change the channel and listen to the station when I know the song is over. If you HATE their music so much why do you listen to it. The other thing that gets me angry is that as human beings we have a RIGHT to speak our minds and what, just cause the dixie chicks are famous they all of a sudden they lose their rights. This is bull crap no matter what you think. Natalie Maines is speaking her mind about what she believes in and I think that she made a good point. Of course living in the world that we live in today you can't say anything without someone out there being offended. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the Dixie Chicks and I am proud that there is finally a singer out there who is willing to speak their minds, despite what it can do to their career. FORGET ABOUT "SHUT UP AND SING" there are too many people who don't speak their mind. So keep bringing it our way. We should all learn to take the so called "crap" that the world throws at us. I'm very proud of the Dixie chicks and words can't even explain it. Keep Speaking your mind. Keep doing what you love to do. Sincerely, Alex I think this is Kind of pathetic.

Down with Bush! I have just seen the documentary, and it is great. The hounding of (and death threats directed towards) Natalie and the others for what was simply, at the time, a casual off-the-cuff remark, is horrendous, in a country, even in the UK, we are often told is the land of freedom and democracy. It is all very saddening. One last thing, the war in Iraq is about OIL, PROFITS and GREED, it is not about 'war on terror', or WMD's, or anything else. Long live the Dixie Chicks! Down with Bush!

But unfortunately the Dixie Chicks paid the price for saying what so many of you are thinking today. And I would just like to point out that if they had said this about a president who had turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to the United States, which is clearly not the case, they should have also been able to do so without getting all this crap. And to all the radio stations who stopped playing their music I say shame on you. By doing what you did you sent out a message of intolerance and I think the world could use a lot less of that. You should of said to those listeners that the Dixie Chicks are a musical group and whether they like their music or agree with their public statements or not, does not give them the right to determine if a song gets plaid on the radio or not. What about the people who like the Dixie Chicks, didn t they have the right to hear their favorite band on the radio ?

I am proud of our country, I wouldn't live anywhere else, and I would die for my country. With that said I don't like Bush and I don't believe in the war. It hasn't solve a thing, if anything it has just costs us millions of dollars and for what? I support the troops and the families behind them. They are in my prayers. I have been a fan of the Dixie Chicks, was a fan during their "lowest" moment, and I will continue to be a fan. They may be famous but I don't think that because they are able to be heard throughout the world they should just "shut up and sing"! They, just like all American citizens, have the right to speak their mind. Many actors, singers, etc. have expressed their feelings about the President and the war, in a negative way and their lives weren't threaten, so why should the Dixie Chicks? I too hate Bush, he's an idiot, and I have the freedom to say that! Will I get a death threat for saying that? No I don't think so. Yes they cried during the interview with Diane Sawyer, not for what they said and not like little "teen girls" but for the simple fact that they are human, and received so much crap for speaking their mind. We all have a limit on how much we can take and I believe that they reached theirs. As far as the song, for those of you that don't understand it,making fun of it, or judging it because you have the "freedom" to do so, I suggest you watch the documentary the Dixie Chicks made called "Shut Up and Sing" P.S. To all of you that hate the Dixie Chicks for saying what they said and thought that their 15 minutes of fame were up...GUESS WHAT???!!! They WON 5 GRAMMY AWARDS!!! NOW WHAT???!!!! LONG LIVE THE DIXIE CHICKS!!!! I HATE PRESIDENT BUSH...NOW BAN ME FROM THE WORLD YOU BUNCH OF IGNORANT MORANS!!!!!!! It has been interesting to see the development of the whole Dixie Chicks controversy.

It is sad that people are somad about something she said about the president that they make their children hate her. It's not right and frankly, a little pathetic. I hate George Bush too, am I gonna get death threats? No. Why should she? Just because she's famous? “I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over”

They can say what ever the hell they want to and it's stupid that people who are claiming to be "American" are mad at Natalie for speaking her mind and keepin' it real! For those saying free speech shouldn't be done in public needs to get a serious reality check..That statement sounds pretty UNAMERICAN and ignorant to me..what's the point of free speech if you can't do it in public? I'm sure those same conservatives hated a Democratic president along the line- so arn't you just contradicting yourselves??..Don't call us hypocrites when your no better!

They've signed on to what's called "An Appeal for Redress" - and they say it's time for U.S. troops to come home". Even the troops agree. Amazing isn't it.... Good for you Dixie Chicks. Rock on....

They have been my ALL-TIME favorite group since I was little. It's amazing how if she would have said the same thing NOW people would love it because there are so many people that agree with her now. People are just pissed because she was smart enough to figured out what an idiot Bush is before everyone else did. And the only people who had a problem with it were people in the south...people out in Hollywood didnt have any problem with it because people in the south are so sensitive. Im from the south and i saw it first hand. I love them even MORE than i did now because of what they said. ROCK ON DIXIE CHICKS! I LOVE YOU!! I absolutely LOVE the Dixie Chicks.

Well it's all good because in the end the Chicks were right, the majority of Americans finally realized the war was a mistake. And they took home 5 Grammies, including the 3 biggest categories. the reason the comment was made in another country is because THAT IS WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THE INVASION STARTED! and they are not liberals either, the problem is our “president” is NOT a conservative as he says he is.

"Freedom of Expression". If people in America didn't stand for what they believe in, you wouldn't have all of the freedoms that you have and enjoy today. It comes from others that have gone before you, and taken a stand for what they believe in.
