The Chicks -If you have a mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend - VOTE FOR BETO!

Dixie Chicks -If you have a mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend - VOTE FOR BETO

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!”.

They changed their name a few years back to "The Chicks," as they considered the word "Dixie" inappropriate.

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 A few days later, Maines issued an apology, saying her remark had been disrespectful; in 2006, she rescinded the apology, saying she felt Bush deserved no respect."

I received my absentee ballot about a week ago (Dallas is VERY good about this), filled it out, and already sent it back. As I do every election.

ONE of these days, things have to go my way.....................
