Why would u say that about them?! They where great!!! The song is about them messing up and saying some things they shouldn't have!!!! They r asking for forgiveness!!! And they got notes threading there lives cuz of there opinion!!!! I love u Dixie chicks and I will forgive u any day!!!!!
This is all Toby Kieth's fault. He such an ass. He had all their Cd's pulled from radio stations. If it were me I would pull all Toby Kieth's Cd's from radio stations. These girls were great,I hope they come back into the lime light.
Try listening to the song and applying it to other situations, instead of the ONLY reason you think the song came out. When i was going through a divorce from a man that was abusive to our kids i fought for custody, I was not ready to make nice either!!!!!!!!!!
The one that plays fiddle, I can never remember her name, performs a lot of shows in the a resort town near me, and she says that they'd still be going strong if Natalie had just kept her damned mouth shut lol
This is where the Dixie Chicks lost me. I believe in free speech, and I even agree with the sentiment that Natalie Maines expressed about Bush. However, instead of brushing off the haters, the Chicks chose to dwell in the negativity of it all. If you're an entertainer and you're outspoken about your beliefs, there will be people that love you and people that hate you. It comes with the territory. It's sad to see how dark and bitter they became instead of just rolling with the punches.
Such talented young women. We have to learn to look at all sides; at some time or another we all say things at the wrong place, the wrong time. What an amazing song, video, from a negative statement!!!
You have to know when to keep your opinions to YOURSELF. Her first comment that started all the trouble was not at all necessary and she should have know the effects of what she was going to say. Yes, we have freedom of speech, but common sense would have told you that there would be intense reaction to that controversial statement. Let's face it; you can't change people; people judge naturally. We do not have freedom from criticism.
The Dixie Chicks will start recording again whenever Natalie is ready. Check out Martie & Emily's fantastic work as a duo ("Courtyard Hounds"), buy the VH1 DVD, & write some positive letters to them. When everyone in Country music was bashing them and only Merle Haggard had the balls to stand up for them, it was no surprise that they got fed up. ESPN was wrong to drop Bocephus, too. And maybe think about the difference between Alan Jackson's wonderful "Where Were You" and what Toby Keith sang.
Personally, I think Toby Keith's song was just as valid as Alan Jackson's. Yes, it wasn't as diplomatic, but there were tons of emotions over 9/11. Alan Jackson addressed the fear and sadness, while Toby Keith addressed the anger. He also didn't point the finger at any specific country, and basically said that America will kick the asses of those responsible. I think that's only fair. Of course, Bush fucked that up by attacking Iraq, but that wasn't Toby Keith's fault.
I love the dixie chicks and love this song very powerful and right to it ...
George w Bush is a dick .. and i thought that for you americans and your amendments whatever happened to FREEDOM OF SPEECH cause that got thrown out the window because of a comment. god forbid anyone to talk you have your opinions and they had theres and they were punished for it. Power to the dixie chicks and power to freedom of speech....
Not a big country fan but love the Dixie Chicks. Can't believe they don't record anymore over expressing an opinion that upset people. Last I checked expressing ones opinion was an American right. Oh yea it was during the Bush administration, we had rights taken away from us..just sayin'.
this is such a powerful song. she has completely tolled the people who sent her death threats and said shit. keep making songs girls, been a fan from the start...
and to the people who said all the shit, well firstly she has a right to her a opinion and secondly your just jealous that you don't have the balls to say what you think..
@Brunoincali I don't know that I would go so far as to call him a racist, but clearly he is a hypocrite who doesn't have the stones to stand up to a man.
I Love The Dixie Chicks. One Of The Greatest Groups Across The Board and Years EVER!! Miss You!! If We Were To Black Ball The Hypocrits Out There, There Wouldnt Be Much If Any Music To Listen To. What A Waste.... IM MAD AS HELL TOO WHEN I THINK OF THE LOSS!! Come Home To Us That Love You... Let The Waiting Stop.
@CocoaChaos13 Exactly. Toby Keith is a coward and a racist hypocrite. He didn't say anything about Hank because Hank spoke about a democratic and black president. It's a double standard. Maybe he just wanted to do all he can to eliminate the Dixie Chicks from country radio because they were winning all the music awards. Eliminating any competition is the only way that talentless rednecked hypocrite can win anything. LONG LIVE THE DIXIE CHICKS!!
Omg I can't beleive all these comments STILL discussing the controversy, it was 5 years ago. Get over it. I always have and always will love and support the Dixie Chicks. I miss their music.
I LOVE their music, but this constant self-congratulation for being mad about the right things gets real old. I watch this video, and it seems like their beliefs are just segues into talking about how awesome they are at others' expense. It's not about Bush or Iraq or even Natalie per se, it's about unsuspected insecurity and self-reference, desperation to be persecuted for their beliefs these days. She dished it out and got it back. Everybody does. Walk it off if it hurts so damn much.
we should have all been out in the streets after the ruling by the supreme court coronating that brain-damaged piece of shit Bush as president. that is truly the day that America died...and that "old cowgirl" Sandy Day O'Connor tried to walk back her vote for Bush. you fucking old cunt...rot in hell along with Ronald Reagan Sandy Day how is that government healthcare working out for you...it kept your husband in diapers and I am sure that you weren't changing them
Love you ladies... Keep fighting. Never, EVER back down from what you know is right. Never make nice if it means losing yourself...or your voice. Its all we really have...
This video's referring to how they were blacklisted and their image was blackened after what Natalie said at that concert. It sucks what happened to the Dixie Chicks after the whole Bush thing. It's so messed up & they didn't deserve to have that happen to them, they're all really talented. I miss hearing the Chicks on the radio and stuff. My mom and I used to listen to them all the time when I was younger so I grew up with their music. I love this song and video but I hate the story behind it.
Bush is a scum back just like all the damn government.... this phony ass war on terror????????? please... this is a war for money!!!! and not money for us money for them!
Even all these years later I still think it's fucked up what the public didn't to these women. I LOVED them and they were amazing. And in the end she was right....Bush did a terrible job. And we couldn't just say well shit you were right. Instead they never came out with another CD again. We all owe them a huge apology I think.
the problem I see is that people support bashing Bush ,which is very much justified,and thats an understatement.but I dont care for any politcians I dont trust any of them and I never will.They are liars and thieves and dont give a fuck than to profit from murder.To me a President is like a Figurehead,its like what Ronald Mcdonald is too mcdonalds.if you cant even voice dissent, then why even pretend we have a nation at all.our forefathers are spinning in thier graves 4 sure
@pwnpig13 Atleast Elder Bush knew starting his war , He had to raise Taxes , Cause he knew from his childhood poverty is no way of living .... Its bad for business... However Jr sucked on the cocks that elected him twice but not raising taxes and pushed the bad policy onto the "BLACK GUY"... However the Black Guy is doing a good job under the cards he was dealt , we haven't started any new wars and were getting out of Iraq , But still the Bundy Families across America think's wars a good thing.
@LimaUnite The people that think they're freedom is being secured by wars deserve neither! We need not serve another war that does not serve the American people... Sept. 11 a great lie , look up other things in our history done under the Virgo Sign or in September under our Government ... Like the Pentagon for Instance , Look when the first Cornerstone was laid , I'll give you a guess... ?
@pwnpig13 I think Palin could have been a better president than Obama! Yes we could have pulled out of Afganistan and Iraq earlier but Bush did what we needed to do! Bush is what we needed and your a ignorant liberal if you think that he was a bad president!
I remember watching the whole controversy on TV. I was probably around 6 or 7, but even then I thought it was pretty pathetic. Me and my mom are die hard Dixie Chicks fans, and that didn't stop us from loving them.
It sucks! ( not the song) A great band had to suffer just bacause they were speaking the truth but hey it lead to all other great out spoken songs. my other favorite song is dear mr president by pink. If you have not heard it go check it out!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She wasn't right about anything, and she ought to be dam thankful she lives in a country that allows her to say the disrespectful things she did without being locked up or worse. But she should realize there are consequences to her actions and until she does "Make Nice" the Dixie Chickens will forever remain outcasts in the country music world. But who knows, maybe they can make a living off of performing songs about hope and change.
@Moonbat22 yeah, she wasnt right about anything......Bush put America into so much debt, and hundreds of our soldiers dying over in a country for no reason.....wait she was right.
@Moonbat22 Mahoiganyhill123 just OWNED you love. Open up your eyes, do your research. Stop watching the Fox news channel, and please understand one thing - presidents don't need to be respected just because of their position. If anything, they need to be more scrutinized, questioned and briefed by the public than anyone. A president is a public servant. Think about that.
I'll always love you, but I won't ever forget the pain and terror you put my and heart, my kids, ands my pure goodness through. You don't deserve a could woman like me. Go on live with mommy, that is where you belong!
I think everyone has a right to there thoughts freedom of speech and i bet everyone is agreeing now that we are out of money taxes going up and so many loved one died in a useless war huh
Is it not OK to disrespect a president who will ultimately go down in history as not only one of the most incompetent, but also a purveyor of lies the likes of which would make Joseph Goebbels blush? Bush lied. It is that simple. He lied over and over, and he suckered the American people into attacking Iraq, a country that had no WMD, and had nothing to do with 9-11.
this is a gorgeous video. brilliant song, amazing talent, and a helluva message. fave moment..., natalie's expression when she sings "it turned my whole world around and i kinda like it..."
One of the best songs ever written, powerful and meaningful. Her face expression is priceless. I wish I had seen them perform live. But I also wish they came back.
@BooBoo1005x hate to say it, but i think Bush. George W. fucked alot of people and then walked away and pocketed alot of money for raping the citizens of the USA...it is amazing, that a gov't uses psychological and mental manipulation to get people to 'follow' its way of doing things..well, if you don't support the war then you don't support the troops who are fighting for YOUR safey and freedom & if you don't support the war and our troops who are fighting the war, then ur not American.such BS
I just love how "We shouldn't be having this war" apparently means "I hate and disrespect the troops" now. If anything, we respect them more by valuing their lives.
@Thatswhatshesaid446 Thank you for saying that...on behalf of myself, and my brother, Sgt. Andrew Weiss, who was killed by an IED in Baghdad on May 3, 2007. IF YOU SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, YOU SUPPORT THE AMERICAN IDEALS FOR WHICH THEY FIGHT, INCLUDING FREE SPEECH.
@BettinaBalser Im sorry that your brother died in Iraq but he was no fighting for our freedom because Iraq was never a threat to the US. The US government invaded that country premtively based on lies and ennuendo, and Bush and Cheny must be held respisible for the ultimate war crime that killed 5000 Americans and 100K Iraqis. I was anti-war in 2001 and Im proud of my stance.
@epistte You need to re-read my comment and the comment to which I was replying. I, too, am anti-war. I was against US involvement in Iraq even prior to my brother's death.
@BettinaBalser Oh, OK. I misunderstood. Im sorry for your loss because I also loss friends who I enlisted with. Im tired of going to funerals and seeing lives wasted.
I stand by them 100% Sorry Bush is an A**Hole This war is stupid and pointless!! I have family and friends over there I have to worry about every second of the day!! Idk how he can sleep at night...
I'm asking myself if american people ever heard about FREEDOM OF OPINION and FREEDOM OF SPEECH...? Everybody has the right so think AND TO SAY what she or he wants als long it is her or his opinion! Why do you have to respect somebody and his decisions, if you do disagree and have another opinion? Why isn't it possible to express that you aren't pleased about people and the things they do and what they make happen? Do you want to live in a dictatorship? Take it or leave it, no arguing??
@BooBoo1005x wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! He was wrong about the war but you dont have to kill the guy, he was pobs just looking for oil cause the US running out.
Wonder if this is a song to answer all the Dixie Chicks haters from the Bush years... Turns out Dixie Chicks were right - the Iraq war was a financial disaster for the US.
its a sad sad story that her mother didnt teach her to respect the ones who protect her!
IM NOT READY TO END THE FIGHT IM NOT READY TO BACK DOWN CUZ IVE BEEN THROUGH HELL AND I DONT HAVE TIME TO GO ROUND AND ROUND ITS TO LATE TO TURN BACK NOW I WOULDNT IF I COULD CUZ IM PROUD AS HELL CANT BRING MYSELF TO DO WHAT YOU THINK I SHOULD!
She had every right to say what she said. I would love to hear from those ignorant people who at the time, felt that they were who we were at war with, now that they know they were right all along. I respect Bush as a former President, but in no way condone his actions. I support the troops and this country, and I am so happy to know they will all be home by the end of the year. Btw... anyone know what happened to the Dixie Chicks after this? Haven't heard from them :(
I love this video. I love that the lyrics come straight from the heart. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks about her statement. What matters is that she should have freedom of speech just as each of us has. And that is the bottom line.
@deadfromabove1993 Let's put it into context, America had been attacked and thousands murdered. Can you imagine a performer going on stage on the 8th December 1941 and saying "We're ashamed that President Roosevelt is from New York". Add to this, when they realised it was hurting their careers, they tried to claim she were only joking. When that didn't they started whining about freedom of speech.
Great tune - and it was awesome to watch the Shut Up and Sing DVD by this group. I wasn't even listening to The Chicks until Natalie spoke her mind. I respect you for it. And, by the way, you are always welcome in Canada....There are arenas in other small towns too...not just Moosejaw. :)
DCs are so wrapped up in their story, that's their identity now. Like "the cancer survivor," or "the war vet"... that's their identity, & they want people to view them in that way. I'd recommend reading Byron Katie... I think it would benefit their lives if not boost their career as well.
Ive supported the Dixie Chicks 200% from day one. Bush is dumb, the haters who fucked up their career were just brainwashed by tabloids, using any excuse to hate.
It's really a shame that our cowardly, greedy, misguided politicians have sold out OUR Country for in$tant gratification. When Public hangings are once again made legal and lobbyists and CEO's are the main attraction I'll pack a lunch and go enjoy the show?
@1997emilymarie is 1997 the year you where born in? cos, then ur my age... and then you can not possibly have remembered what happened. so instead of being upset over stories you heard. go and find out for yourself, it's called 'life' you know
@maxzimie I don't think this @1997emilymarie person was talking about the Dixie Chicks... she was probably relating this song to her own life... I don't think anyone would say the Dixie Chicks ever played "stupid games" if they were angry about it. She was probably talking about a boy or something... i wouldn't just instantly assume she was attacking the Dixie Chicks.......
@trackluver11 thank you for realizing no i wasnt talking about the DC i have had experiences in life and i related them...crazy how fast people are to assume and attack over it!
@maxzimie I was born in '94 and I hardly remember it happening at the time all I knew was they weren't being boycotted by fans and radio in the states (of course now I understand)
@maxzimie 1997emilymarie is probably just interpreting the song to fit her own life, not necessarily the way the Dixie Chicks wrote it. It's still perfectly okay; that's the beauty of music. :)
@CocoaChaos13 what did i even say? and the whole comment was about something somebody did to me, that i do remember...and no i may not remember it, but i have heard a lot about it, i have no clue what happened because i was a young child and im not going to sit here and pretend i do, ill admit i know very little about the whole thing...i just like the song.
love this song its so describes me in so many ways all the ways and so does my happy endimng by avril laving learn it listen to love it and post on my wall
what I love is that the chicks acted like they were being persecuted, no you said something and they used their freedom of speech through the market place to not purchase music from the dixie chicks
@ColoradoRanger oh really? My.. what a short term memory you have...I suggest you seek some medical advice if you have insurance.It's obvious you have selective memory syndrome ..which allows you to coast thru life in your Fox news induced haze. Pro tip..: Wake up
@TheDixieMontana I know I know, but the deal is, I was aiming them at Natalie, not you. I don't really hate her, nor like her. Just stumbled on this video when looking at another vid.
I know why people hate her, and why people like her.
Personally, I dislike her hair... that's about it lol
But she's not my wife so I'll let her hubby enjoy it rolling his fingers in that stuff.
Why would u say that about them?! They where great!!! The song is about them messing up and saying some things they shouldn't have!!!! They r asking for forgiveness!!! And they got notes threading there lives cuz of there opinion!!!! I love u Dixie chicks and I will forgive u any day!!!!!

She wasn't right about anything, and she ought to be dam thankful she lives in a country that allows her to say the disrespectful things she did without being locked up or worse. But she should realize there are consequences to her actions and until she does "Make Nice" the Dixie Chickens will forever remain outcasts in the country music world. But who knows, maybe they can make a living off of performing songs about hope and change.

@Moonbat22 Mahoiganyhill123 just OWNED you love. Open up your eyes, do your research. Stop watching the Fox news channel, and please understand one thing - presidents don't need to be respected just because of their position. If anything, they need to be more scrutinized, questioned and briefed by the public than anyone. A president is a public servant. Think about that.

Is it not OK to disrespect a president who will ultimately go down in history as not only one of the most incompetent, but also a purveyor of lies the likes of which would make Joseph Goebbels blush? Bush lied. It is that simple. He lied over and over, and he suckered the American people into attacking Iraq, a country that had no WMD, and had nothing to do with 9-11.

@BettinaBalser Im sorry that your brother died in Iraq but he was no fighting for our freedom because Iraq was never a threat to the US. The US government invaded that country premtively based on lies and ennuendo, and Bush and Cheny must be held respisible for the ultimate war crime that killed 5000 Americans and 100K Iraqis. I was anti-war in 2001 and Im proud of my stance.

Why do you have to respect somebody and his decisions, if you do disagree and have another opinion? Why isn't it possible to express that you aren't pleased about people and the things they do and what they make happen? Do you want to live in a dictatorship? Take it or leave it, no arguing??

@deadfromabove1993 Let's put it into context, America had been attacked and thousands murdered. Can you imagine a performer going on stage on the 8th December 1941 and saying "We're ashamed that President Roosevelt is from New York". Add to this, when they realised it was hurting their careers, they tried to claim she were only joking. When that didn't they started whining about freedom of speech.

DCs are so wrapped up in their story, that's their identity now. Like "the cancer survivor," or "the war vet"... that's their identity, & they want people to view them in that way. I'd recommend reading Byron Katie... I think it would benefit their lives if not boost their career as well.

@maxzimie I don't think this @1997emilymarie person was talking about the Dixie Chicks... she was probably relating this song to her own life...

She was probably talking about a boy or something... i wouldn't just instantly assume she was attacking the Dixie Chicks.......

I know why people hate her, and why people like her.
Personally, I dislike her hair... that's about it lol
But she's not my wife so I'll let her hubby enjoy it rolling his fingers in that stuff.
OK peace out!
