The Chicks Win Big At Grammy's
The Dixie Chicks had a big night tonight at the Grammy's - winning four awards including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year. The Chicks have been criticized by fellow country artists Toby Keith and Reba McIntyre and some country radio stations - especially in the South - have refused to play their music ever since lead singer Natalie Maines criticized President Bush at a concert in London. First of all, according to polls, 70% of our country disaproves of the job Bush has done, so I never really understood why Maines' comments drew so much attention.
Second, what a slap in the face to the radio stations who have refused to play The Chicks' music. All year they have been refusing to play what is now conisdered the best song and best album of the year! All to show respect to someone who is going to go down as maybe the worst president in the history of our country!
