Dixie Chicks to country: nah-nah
The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines couldn't resist the rich irony - or the chance to rub their success in the face of a country-music establishment that turned its back on them.
"That's interesting," Maines said in picking up the band's Grammy Award for best country album on Sunday. Country radio stations have largely ignored the band after Maines' infamous 2003 remarks critical of President Bush on a London stage.
"Well, to quote the great Simpsons: heh-heh," she said.
The Dixie Chicks' "Not Ready to Make Nice," a blistering retort to their critics following the incident, had already won the Grammy for song of the year. They drew several standing ovations from an audience well aware that their victories had a political point attached. Link
