The Dixie Chicks Controversy

April 30, 2003 | Issue 39•16

The members of Dixie Chicks have been the focus of boycotts ever since saying they are ashamed to hail from the same state as President Bush. What do you think?

Young Man

Rick Barros,
Taxi Driver
"I recently hosted a Dixie Chicks CD burning, but it was because the brown-haired one got fat."

Black Man

Marcus Adams,
Attorney
"Do you think we could get Shania Twain to speak out against the president, too?"

Old Man

Alan Cramer,
Systems Analyst
"The only country artist qualified to express his political views is Johnny Cash, because that man's seen it all. And he once torched a forest while tripping on mescaline."

Asian Man

Omar Williams,
Cashier
"So the Dixie Chicks are against the war? I suppose next, they'll be speaking out against the General Lee jumping over a crick."

Old Woman

Theresa Krug,
Librarian
"The Dixie Chicks should leave the opinion-giving to the professionals. Like that guy with the 'boot up your ass' song."

Young Woman

Melissa Spence,
Graduate Student
"Lost in this whole controversy is one important point: That the Dixie Chicks' music profoundly blows."
