NOT READY TO MAKE NICE
Natalie Maines at the Woodlands Pavilion picks out a person who booed when the Chicks announced their support for Beto. Let me-right there-tell you something. Do you have a mother? Do you have sisters? Do you have a daughter? Do you have a girl friend? Vote Beto!.

(28,120 posts)Who scorned them? "Dixie."
"The Dixie Chicks were blacklisted by many country radio stations, received death threats, and were criticized by other country musicians. The backlash damaged sales of the Dixie Chicks' music and concert tickets and lost them corporate sponsorship. A few days later, Maines issued an apology, saying her remark had been disrespectful; in 2006, she rescinded the apology, saying she felt Bush deserved no respect."
