  • "The entire country may disagree with me, but I dont understand the necessity for patriotism. Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why?"

    per Natalie Maines.Three months later, at the Grammys, Joan Baez used these very words to introduce and defend Natalie. Seems she forgot to correct Joan Baez about "this land is your land" on Grammy night. Oh, that's right, they were getting awards. No need to spoil THAT venue with her beliefs. Maines is Disingenuous to the core

  • Whether you like their politics or not, they sure are a heckuva group. Very talented. I dont like much what Natalie said some years back, but I would definitely enjoy one of their concerts

  • gives me goosebumps overtime 

  • i really love her voice!m beautiful

  • Blir ikke lei av den låta gitt.

  • LOVE IT ;)

  • Everyone makes a big deal about what the dixie chicks said its not like they said "I want president bush to die or I hope he gets killed" It was just simple we are embarrass hmm???? I personal love these girls

  • @Swift898

    I could care less if he dropped dead this second. I also would not shed one tear if someone killed him. The only trouble would be it's way to late to help us. They said what most people with half a brain were thinking.

  • Natalie Maines is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo gorgeous.

  • Wow that is the most intelligent comment I have ever read on YT! I am now enlightened!

  • shut up jam6va

  • They have goofey outfits in this video.

  • i took a huge hit on this one, but it didn't kill the party

  • Amazing singers live!

  • Dang.. She sounds almost exactly like the song that was edited, Thats talent. Props. good song.

  • When I was about 8 this was my FAVORITE song. I couldn't find the song until now. It means a lot more to me now.....It seems that I liked a lot of sad songs. But anyway, I love this!

  • if you can't stand behind the soldiers, stand in front of them..

  • @sta1ndsoul and if you can't stand free speech leave this country.

  • @sta1ndsoul  Amen!

  • when i was my MOS school i heard this song for the first time and was blown away. this song means a lot to us service members and veterans who are missing our better halves lol, thanks Dixie Chicks.

  • You be careful and come home in one piece. Just wish the dixie chicks would have been around to welcome me home in 69 LOL.

  • Incredibly beautiful ,very poignant. These girls can sing....great live voices...

  • ok so i never knew the dixie chicks even existed but a few days ago i heard not ready to make nice and then i heard travelin soldier and i love them!!!!!

    can someone tell me what's the name from the brunette and the other blond??

    i already know natalie bcuz of all the other comments

  • theyre martie maguire and emily robison. theyre sisters. :) and of course natalie maines! ;)

  • I love this song! Natalie is amazing! lol my name is Natalie. Kinda random but i thought it was cool :)

  • Hey great song, Great music. and im a long haird hippy and born again native. Dont connect the song to the dumb ass wars going on. By the way, poor young blokes that go to war are just ignorant victims of megalomaniac satanists that decieve them to get more power. Asswipe, murdering cops and soldiers are just victims of sophisticated evil that controls their weak minds and souls. Thats why Jesus forgave his enemies. If you people attack eachother then evil laughs... DIVIDE and CONQURE is da game

  • yeah do you know why you were able to have the freedom to say what you jus said???? SOLDIERS go to the middle east or any other country and speak on there government like that and see what happens.

  • amen man god bless our troops

  • Amen

  • Natalie is awesome for the people who dont like keep your stupid comments to your self

  • Dixie Chicks are the best! I love Natalie Maines, she said high what everyone was thinking low (Sorry, I'm french .. it might have no sense! Haha!) ... I hope they will make a best of or kinda thing like this for their 20th anniversary.. LOVE DC!!

  • And you're a fuckin' prick. Are you happy now? She's nothing less of a hero.

  • Adam, you are a tool, GO AWAY & BE GONE

    Dixie's rock

  • Easy there, big boy....

  • haha your a crackhead if you think shes like the best female singer. but this song is amazing

  • Pass me the crack pipe, then...Natalie Maines IS one of the best female singers ever, tho' Emmylou Harris gets my vote for best overall. And yes, Travelin' Soldier is an amazing song.

  • Natalie Maine is one of the best female singers I've ever heard and seen

  • I think Natalie has an amazing singing voice

  • This is NOT a support of Bush's claims, as his father also lied to kick off our first row with Iraq. The fact that Saddam was a bad man, using chemical weapons on the Kurdish uprising after the first war, using UN rebuilding funds to erect lavish palaces, and growing two sons that were worse than him. The world is better off without Saddam, but this gets lost in the rhetoric over GW's claims and his father's mistakes. In this high stakes arena, Natalie Maines doesn't have a clue.

  • I never said anything about saddam.. And I Doubt it very highly that Natalie didnt want America to get rid of Saddam.. I think she didnt want America to loose a lot of people in the war.. Bottom line, everyone has a right to their own opinion, no? Guess I am very lucky I come from a country that stays neutural and not many countries have a problem with. It just pissed me off how ppl went all at her when ppl more "important" than her said worse things!! only cause she said it in London!

  • Not just because she said it in London. Bottom line, everyone has the right to their opinion.... as long as it is genuine. Natalie Maines was pandering to the anti-war crowd in London rather than expressing her political belief.  She confirmed this repeatedly through interviews and statements over the following year. The disingenuous nature of her comment, which belittled americans headed off to fight that war, was the reason she was dissented against by millions. Latecomers don't get this.

  • I get everything.. Trust me.. Some ppl though, if you admit to it or not, said that they reacted to her saying it on "foreign soil", which to me is BS.. Freedom of speech goes all over!! And its all so overdramatized.. I mean ashamed bush is from tx.. I would be to. She didnt say. we dont support the troops.. that's the issue. She didnt belittle the american soliders. She trashed the president. And Im sorry, American or not.. Bush did nothing but destroy American and give americans a bad rumour

  • Im not a stupid teenager with Dixie Chicks posters all over my walls. And I'm not American, so maybe I have no right to an opinion. Bottom line.. Ppl "higher" than Natalie have said much worse things! yet.. no one atack those ppl/.. Explain that to me? Pink trashed Bush.. Green Day trashed Bush.. The list goes on.. yet ONLY Natalie Maines got shit!! And it's because she said it in a diff country.. That's truly my beliefs. If so, 1st amendment should read freedom of speech ONLY in America.

  • I understand your anger. You've been marginalized for being ignorant all your life. Lord knows it must have been hard on you, hearing your parents repeatedly apologize, saying you have a learning disability. In the name of sane, intelligent, and attractive people everywhere, I want to apologize for what must have been a terrible childhood for you. Just isten to you. How else could you become the flatulant prick you are today without incessant ridicule during your formative years. So Sad

  • You know.. I was actually lowering my fist, thinking I would understand where you come from. I dont see why u would want to attack me like that.. But it's ok. I'll have my beliefs, you stay to yours.

  • By 1998, the frustration and fear the inspectors who SHOULD have been backed by a military presence. By 2003, Iraq had acquired 20 tons of HPTB used in manufacturing missile fuel. Saddam had ordered thousands of american military style uniforms who's delivery was stopped. Inspectors HAD found chemical facilities that were abandoned and spotlessly clean in 1994. Could anybody expect Iraq to win against the USA? Give me a decade to hide what an imminent invasion is looking for, and I can do it.

  • Few people remember the dumbass moves of Schwarzkopf and H.W. at the end of the first little row with Iraq and the "results" of 6 years searching by Unscom and its follow on groups. Iraq had a nuclear program. They DID find WWII style Uranium enrichment equipment in Iraq. They did NOT find all the Scud launchers that fired missiles on the day before the peace treaty was signed. They weren't allowed to inspect everywhere at ANY time over the following six years.

  • She is such poison now, that all the GAP commercials except for one were aired repeatedly and nationally. The one that DIDN'T get aired except ONCE in two markets (NY and LA), then pulled.. was the Dixie Chicks ad. The ONLY two movie ads national television has EVER refused to air in original version was Farenheit 911, which was changed by Weinstein, and SUAS, which Weinsteing wouldn't change to create yet another "victimization" of the Dixie Chicks. Pathetic PR stunts.

  • Entertainers never had the power to demand their music be played, and they never will. This includes the Dixie Chicks. Their propaganda attempts at creating this illusion only worked with dumbdowns like yourself.

  • OH yeah i forgor ur stupid, dixie chicks didnt demand to be played they demanded not to be black balled fans were still requesting there music but radio wouldnt play it! God ur dumb seroiusly i bet ur perents made you wear a bike helmit all the time and you never owned a bike. Heart2Heart more like drrrr2drrr

  • "i forfor...ur dumb...perents" ROFL. Yes, tell me about intelligence.

  • One more thing heart2heart the senate had a hearing on weither they should be able to black ball the dixie chicks i watched it on c-span which is just a live feed from the senate floor!, im gonna guess you only watch fox news like all the other un educated carl rove victims

  • And if you saw the hearing, then you probably saw Cumulus tell Dickwad McCain that he had no basis for calling them there, and they left. Guess what! The Dixie Chicks REMAINED OFF THE AIR. PWND, dickhead!

  • also she flipped floped because the right wing media ( fox) made her out to be a terrorist but seriously bush had an aproval raiting of 30% or less most of the time shortly after this so i dont think too many people were realy hurt by any of her comments, just right wing hypocrits that think they are the only ones entitled to free speach (free meaning conservitive friendly) im ashamed her fellow artist jumped on the bandwagon of downing them instead of sticking up for the right of free speach

  • heart2heart59 research before you speak or you look stupid, dixie chicks out sold all artists other than tim mcgraw before she maid that comment...after the comment toby kieth out sold them in the states but world wide the dixie chicks sold two million copies besting toby kieth in total sales, there was a documentary that showed interviews with the three media heads who blackballed the dixie chicks and between the three of them they controlled country radio,

  • The Dixie Chicks haven't ousold anyone. You have to call them a "female country band" to place them anywhere. They aren't a "band" and they haven't been "country" since the comment. There was never any blackballing or boycotting except by millions of americans that are MUCH smarter than you. There will always be dumbdown late-comers like you who bought the propaganda the Dixie Chicks put out, profiting on the controversy rather than true sentiment. You're a dumbdown and will always be. PWND.

  • She was never ASKED for her opinion about TK, his song, Bush, or the war. She simply decided it would get her noticed if she did.

    That she started out humorously criticizing, like dedicating "White Trash Wedding" to K-Fed, which is admittedly funny. But then, she started commenting on others (mainly ditzy actresses), and while still funny, was a serious bash of those people. Then, on to Toby Keith, who became her target because he was besting them on the charts.

  • @Heart2Heart59 Are you kidding? I hope you have changed your 'opinioned' response in the last year you made these comments. lol And Toby Keith never outsold Dixie Chicks on any major charts.. Your facts sound as stupid as you do.

  • It is not uncommon for fanatics to make someone's career bigger in death than it ever was in life (if I can paraphrase a Kennedy). In this case, Natalie contributed by her delusional bashing. Lyrics in "Lubbock or Leave it" say maybe they will erect a statue to her like they did Buddy Holly. Later, she goes on record to describe the song as being about "any hypocritical town". The WTF factor is off the charts here. Guess why her father moved out of Lubbock!

  • Natalie deserves a statue!! All I can say about that!!! And her lyrics.. hello.. They are MUSIC LYRICS.... But if ya wanne bring lyrics in. How about Toby Keiths "get drunk and be somebody" where he sings: "Weekends here, good God almighty, People lets get drunk and be somebody"..... Wow.. he is telling ppl to get drunk.. Don't think that's a good thing to be telling folks?? or no?? I am sure teenagers listen and like em lyrics!! But only a dumb ass like u wouldn't understand its just lyrics..

  • That's right. He's telling people to get drunk! ROFL. Perfect thing to tell people. You're a pathetic dumbass.

    She won't be getting a statue, but she WILL get some things if she tries to show up in Lubbock again. Even her father moved out of Lubbock, his hometown for all his life. She's had a negative impact on everything she ever touched. She is such poison that, even after announcing she was going to be in her husband's next movie, she was dropped.

  • First of all, you should be ashamed of yourself paraphrasing Ted Kennedy after all the things you just wrote about her. Did it ever occur to you ,that after having made the comment she was forced to aplogize just so fanatic Republicans like yourself would calm down a bit? Plus, are you suggesting that Bobby Kennedy was as insignificant as your average Joe? Get a grip on the world buddy and if you hate them stop posting a gazillion comments. There's no need in ruining the vids for the fans.

  • I'm not a Repugnican nor a dumbocrat. Did it ever occur to you that her apology was over a comment only a few fanatical Bush lovers disagreed with? Of course not. Get a grip on the real world. If it HAD been about her bashing Bush, she would have had her fan base back in a year. It wasn't. If posting under this video upsets you, here's a little suggestion: Ignore them. I know it is tough holding to a fantasy so you can condemn others. Millions didn't fail stupid. Natalie Maines and you did.

  • Courageous women who are standing up for freedom of expression

  • LOVE IT<33333

  • If yall would just watch their movie, "Shut up and Sing", maybe yall would see and hear that they DO SUPPORT THE TROOPS!! But they do not support the war itself. They are very patriotic. If America claims to be proud of Freedom Of Speech. Maybe yall should inforce it!! Dixie Chicks stood up for what they believe din and even after EVERYONE was against them, they stood tall! People came running back apologizing when they realized America should have NEVER entered the war, and BUSH destroyed yall!

  • If you watch their movie, you'll get nothing but disinformation and misleading scenes about what happened. It was such a propaganda piece that national television, the biggest money whores on the planet, wouldn't advertise it for fear of litigation. Natalie denied her comment was a true sentiment for a year after. They NEVER offered a donation to the Red Cross, for example. Not ONCE in that movie do they say they support the troops. Nobody came running back. They're gone for good reason.

  • You obviously have not watched Shut Up and Sing so shut up and stop writing retarded comments before you start spreading your down syndrome with the rest of us.

  • Barbara Kopple is no longer considered a credible documentary producer for what she did with SUAS. Millions of people didn't fail stupid, you and a few other pathetic dumbdowns did. Natalie wasn't right. P.T. Barnum was right.

  • Yeah people came back.. Begging.. With ther legs behind their back.. 5 Grammy awards speaks for itself. Natalie never denied what she said.. I'd be ashamed to if Bush was from Texas. He is so stupid it aint even funny. Barack Obama, hopefully, can save the Americans. More people like Bon Jovi, Dixie Chicks and Green Day. America is not on top of the world. Neither was Bush or the war in Iraq. All yall did was loose soliders. Ill applaude the Dixie Chicks and Natalie Maines ANY DAY of the week!!

  • You'll have to go to a few places to applaud in front of them. They aren't together anymore. Marti is making a bluegrass album and performing in Colorado, without her sister or Maines. Natalie is cutting her hair off and getting ready for court. ROFL. You and your pathetic agenda aren't even supported by the DC's, the most disingenuous group to ever shit through a microphone. Kind of like being the stain UNDER whale shit.

  • I dont mind going all over.. Thats the way we tru hard core fans follow our artists. I am sure u sit in front of the comp and download music of ur "bands". Natalie looks HOT in her new hair cut!! Sexier than ever! thanks for bringing that up ;-) And yeah!! Natalie Maines WAS.. still IS right.. Bush was the biggest piece of shit to ever walk these grounds.. I enjoyed Letterman making fun of him every night! To bad ppl like Bush represent America to the rest of the world = Makes yall look stupid

  • It would be hard to assign right or wrong to anything Natalie Maines said. She flip flopped on practically every comment a Dipsie Chip supporter can remember. The only ones looking stupid are those that are insist on supporting a comment she called a JOKE in her OWN MOVIE. Now that is just retarded! ROFL. You're funny.

  • A joke? Pfft. My fav part is when she turns to the cameras and says (to Bush) "You're a dumb FUC#)!! now that is tv history.. What it comes to me supporting them!! Hell yeah!! They.. well Natalie said nothing wrong. Simply spoke her mind, which I believe is in your 1st amendment?? or no?? So maybe YOU need to look up a few things and learn, before you comment. SUAS movie is the best ever!! Natalie Maines crack me up, and it's a true pleasure watching a woman stand up to all Male idiots out there

  • "Kingsley: Do you think you underestimated the way a statement from you can resonate around the world?

    Maines: Oh, my God, yes. We never in a million years knew people were listening to what we said. Like Emily said, we never use the stage as a place to preach our political beliefs or spiritual beliefs. And we still won't. And that's not what I was doing that night either."- Syndicated radio interview with Bob Kingsley, 4/24/03

    Is THIS the mind she was speaking? ROFL. Note the date.

  • Watch the movie then. Watch her say her comment was a joke in the interview they included. Can she really be that dumb? YES!

  • She said that when she said it.. it was meant like a joke.. Do you not get that!! ppl joke all the time, even though there is some truth behind it.. At least she didnt do like all other music artists out there do.. Realize it would hurt their selling of records and take it back.. Hell no!! Nat stood tall and said, u know what.. I won't take it back.. Again, she simply used her freedom of speech. And there are other famous ppl out there who said worse things! Why u dont go bash them??

  • and didn't take it back? ROFL.

    "Kingsley: Do you think you underestimated the way a statement from you can resonate around the world?

    Maines: Oh, my God, yes. We never in a million years knew people were listening to what we said. Like Emily said, we never use the stage as a place to preach our political beliefs or spiritual beliefs. And we still won't. And that's not what I was doing that night either."- Syndicated radio interview with Bob Kingsley, 4/24/03

    THIS is taking it back, idiot.

  • Good point.. Like Emily said, we never use the stage as a place to preach our political beliefs or spiritual beliefs. And we still won't. And that's not what I was doing that night either. Thats right.. She said it as a joke, yet trying to speak her mind of AMerican troops enter the war.. You DUMB FU#K... Ya seriously need to get you a better life then go hunt down old DCX comments.. LMFAO! More oathethic person than you.. WIll never be found!!

  • That was Natalie Maines speaking in the interview, not Emily. And now you're going to weasil around her exact words "never use the stage as a place to preach our political beliefs or spiritual beliefs" and say it wasn't what she meant, even in a serious interview. You're such a pathetic fool.

  • How is that political? all she said was.. she's asheamed the f head is from texas.. Id be to!!! That is the truth.. Just cause he happens to be in politics.. ?? sooo.. She didnt like Angelina Jolie Im sure she would have said that to. You need to get a life.. seriously!! You dont like DCX or what they stand for.. FINE.. evryone is intitled to their own opinion.. So why dont u put ur energy on something u do like?? Their hard core fans will stand by them, no matter what. You wont change that..

  • How is that political? Are you serious? In any case, that isn't all she said, and that is NOT why so many quit listening to the Dixie Chicks. If it were, she would have had her fan base back within a year. Only the media and the DCs themselves made it all about Bush. I hated the Bush family for decades before. That said, I found her disingenuous comment a belittlement not only of our country, but of the efforts of all those who were willing to give all if necessary to fight a known threat.

  • And it's truly amazing that you are 54 years old and have not managed to learn more in ya lifetime!! In your own words, ROFL... I feel bad for ya!!

  • Entertainers never had the power to demand their music be played, and they never will. This includes the Dixie Chicks. Their propaganda attempts at creating this illusion only worked with dumbdowns like yourself.

  • its right wing idiots like you that devide this world, she fliped floped outta fear because idiots like you send death threats, why is it miss leading imformation because you dont like what you see. and on barbra walters they said they sapport the troops but not the war moron! so take your country deviding idiotic attitude and shove it your too stupid to be takin seriously heart2heart you would probably have voted for bush again if ya could, i bet u have a low education level

  • @Heart2Heart59 And Natalie never denied her claim, the way she describes it was an "off handed remark" and it was a joke in the sense that it was funny cause it's true like you would joke about say, one of your dogs being a little stupid even though its true. She never stated it was a 'Joke'. Dude your comments are full of hate on these women who did not support their president, and from a neutral viewpoint you would think you would have sympathy on someone fighting the battle of free speech..

  • ExodusPessoa Thank you for saying that beacuse for real thats what the song is talking about.I wish i could stop war.But i cant.....My Aunts boy friend is in war and they got separated because of it.Because he had to keep on going out to war and out in and out of war.

  • For as long as mankind exists, there will ALWAYS be war.... Sic vas pacem para bellum...its latin for "If you want peace, prepare for war"......and your aunts boyfriend knew what he was getting into, knew what he was risking and what he might have to sacrafice.....stop being pessmistic....be optimistic...instead of thinking how many soldiers died, think of how many lived, and how many went on to save more lives..... thats the problem with people like YOU... support me and my brothers in war!

  • I remember watching this performance on tv. Thanks for posting this. Awesome! It was the new beginning to the Dixie Chicks, and its too bad that some people had to ruin it for them.

  • And everything that happened made them even better then before and everyone ate their words because bush sucked!

  • they are gone

  • If you listen carefully about this song, it's about the war and how young the guy was to be in a war and how many ppl get hurt by that..families separated, etc...and what they said is they didnt support the war... which it was just a BIG waste of money... nothing was found, just a lot of good american soldiers died and that is about it... what was accomplished?? The hatred of the whole Eastern World??! Millions of CIVILIAN dead?LOV DIXIE CHICS

  • Amen brandyardagna couldn't of said any better!!!

  • doesnt matter if a person supports the war or not, they should atleast support the soldiers.... and as an infantry soldier, i can tell you from experience that we try to keep civilians out of the crossfire, and that its actually the insurgents who cause the most casualties among civilians.....they use roadside bomb's grenades, even use little kids and pregnant women with a suicide vest to kill 1 infidel.... LADIES AND GENTLEMENT IF YOU DONT SUPPORT THE WAR, ATLEAST SUPPORT THE TROOPS....

  • pichuladasssss

  • LOV DIXIE CHICS

  • lmao :)

    vvvv

  • huh

  • sorry bout that! someone hacked my account. i am a guy and apparently my name is "Tina". i mean, wtf! how did they even get my password? lol

  • Is that what you tell men in chat rooms? That you're Tina? weirdo.

  • Bruce Robison is a great songwriter.

  • this is great!!

  • yea Toby has the right attitude...WTF!

    big freeking red-neck.....

    freedom of speach...hello. FUTK

    A great song by some great people!

  • I agree with you FUTK!!!! All the way!!

  • the best awesome but why did you pick your ear

  • she has a sort of hearing piece sort of for musicians... maybe she gets music there and what not... maybe it was bothering her so she took it out... look carefully

  • Americans are always talking about free speech.So why all the b*llshit happen to the DCX is a mystery to me.

  • i recently found out about thier history and this song and them but i like the song fuck what you think
