Can Someone Please Tell Me What Happened To The Dixie Chicks? Why Did They Get Shunned?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    In early 2003, after doing concerts in Europe and noticing a lot of Anti-American activity over the war in Iraq, the Dixie Chicks were doing a concert in London, England.  Natalie Maines told the crowd: "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."  (The Dixie Chicks come from Texas).  
    Her comments deriding the president sparked outrage among some country music fans, with some stations boycotting the group's songs.
    She later issued a statement of apology to the President, saying that she admitted her remark was disrespectful.
