Well, who didn't know this? The Dixies win big, given that they became the darlings of the BushAngst crowd. Do you really think they would have gotten any Grammy votes had they not spewed their Jane Fondue all over a London stage?
They aren't that good, looking or music wise, but it's the Mouth on Maines that caused the problems.
"We're on the good side with y'all... We don't want this violence...Just so you know, we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."
Them's fightin' words, girly, and the reaction from their county base was fast and harsh...but, they were picked up off the street by the 'sniff sniff' crowd, who would normally look at them like they had two heads each and would then relegate them to the 'barefoot and pregnant' cacheset where they normally put all female country singers...
Mind you, I wouldn't have given a rat's patooie about what they said, if they had said it in Houston or Nashville, first, and not overseas a la Clinton and Fonda. "We're on the good side with y'all..." immediately puts anyone who disagrees with anti-war, anti-USA, and Bush Bashers on the "bad" side. Well, that puts them on my bad side.
But, you know, the Dixie Chicks are now in real good with Barbara Streisand...
