Nashville Excerpt from "Protesting the Dixie Chicks"

YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW to start some #!@%? Ask Dixie Chicks singer, Natalie Maines. Her infamous one-liner attacking the President ignited a fire-storm of controversy, enraging their fan base, inspiring a nationwide corporate ban of their music, and ultimately turning country music into one long episode of professional wrestling. In Christopher Fleeger's funny, and frequently ominous film, PROTESTING THE DIXIE CHICKS, country music fans reveal their quirky conceptions of freedom and patriotism, as well as the anger and violence which accompany the impulse to defend them. Here, we discover a distinctive American discourse on discourse itself. When and where is criticism acceptable? And by whom? If you think you've heard it all before, you've never been to a Dixie Chicks concert.

You know what? Wherever you are Natalie, I am 100% with you. You have the freedom of speech, and no one can take that away from you. Hell, If I was an american, I would have been ashamed of George Bush when he was prez too!

I am not a big fan of the Dixie Chicks. I like Emily and Martie, but NOT Natalie, and it has NOTHING to do with her Bush comments. What I don't get about this video is the guy talking about "Travelin' Soldier" and Bruce Robison. Why would Bruce "basically" say the Dixie Chicks can kiss his ass? Emily is his sister-in-law, and he feels that way about her group? Wonder what their family reunions are like?!
