In defense of The Dixie Chicks

Once again, I feel like I may have blogged about this before. If I have, I apologize, but I just have TOO many things to rage about to keep track. In short, The Dixie Chicks...SUPREMELY unfair backlash against them for saying they were ashamed Bush was from Texas. And i'm not some rabid fan; I'm saying this as an American, and in America we're supposed to have free speech. And spare me the "well, by that argument WE'RE free to ban and BURN their music." BULLSHIT. If you can't see the difference, you're one of the fucking idiots I'm ranting about. I'm merely defending their right to say what they did. But truth and talent prevail, and the Chicks are looking pretty vindicated right now. And, boy, do I LOVE vindication!
