Dixie Chicks... All famous country song band with lots of records sale hitting the board chart. Now on the edge of being blacklisted all through out the US through media consolidation for being a known critic of the Bush administration. Dixie Chicks most vivify antics was the 2003 live concert in London where lead singer Natalie Maines disheartedly announces grievances that "President Bush was from Texas". Obviously the comment comes out because of the Iraq's war on terror program by the US Government being supported by UK. Instead of hitting the number one spot in the music chart, they end up on the number one spot of the hate list for over three years. I had this chance of seeing them twice on an interview, First at "Larry King live" on CNN by cableTV and on MSNBC "Hardball" with Chris Matthews through the net video. These three can be compared to what James Dean portrayed on one of his film about a 's rebellious attitudes, only on the Chicks part, they seem to broadcast their feelings with a cause. Regarding their music, I can say that the group have the taste of what a country music should be, melodious trio with a perfect harmony back up by string instruments, and strong lyrics that of Bob Dylan's. Anyway, good or bad publicity is still a publicity, and it's up to the people to judge if they were guilty, and should be punished with a blacklisting remarks? These issue reminds me of the "Four Freedoms" about free expression and press freedom. To think that it's just a bit lighter and softer than the protest on "Tiananmen Square".
