Shut Up And Singhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixie_Chicks:_Shut_Up_and_Sing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixie_Chicks:_Shut_Up_and_Sing This film documents the backlash against the country music trio, "The Dixie Chicks". It all began when the band performed in the U.K., on the same day as an anti-iraq war protest. Natalie Maines, there lead singer, declared her opposition to the war, as well as her embarrassment to be from the same state as President Bush. Well when word got back to the Neo-conservatives, behind the "Bible curtain" , there was a bitter reaction. There was public demonstrations, boycotts, and destruction of personal copies of there albums. They even received death threats. What scares me is that some of the same people who attacked the Dixie Chicks will be voting in the upcoming election. This intolerant mentality is charactoristic of Fascism. One of the things which has always made the U.S.A. more praiseworthy than other countries, like the U.S.S.R., is that artists here are free to criticise politicians and/or policies abroad. I respect the Dixie Chicks even more now, since I know that they stand up for what they think is right. They are very couragous young ladies.
