They're called "The Chicks" now. They dropped Dixie

They risked their entire careers to speak out against something they didn't believe in. And people tried their hardest to cancel them. To an extent, it worked. The Chicks refused to ever perform at the CMAs again, and they were likely uninvited from ever attending (just a guess, I don't know). They've never backed down (they're not ready to) from what their convictions. So good on them. I don't hate them at all. I'm not a fan of country music in general. But I fully support their efforts in anti-war or political talk.

I never understood why folks today are so goddamn sensitive abou this stuff. This is part of free human speech. Either these people forget the unrest in the world, and in music, in the 60s and 70s, or they weren't born and are ignorant of it. Even Jimi playing the national anthem was seen as crazy to many people back then. Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, James Brown, George Clinton, Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna... there are those voices who speak out. They're still here. And some of those were speaking out in the midst of another highly racial era in the U.S., when Black people were fighting to vote or be considered citizens of the country they were born in, Women's fight for equal pay which they still don't have in 2020, AIDS, sexual misconduct in the church, and more.

I'd encourage anyone who hasn't to watch Shut Up and Sing!. It's about The Chick's speaking out against Bush and the illegal war in Iraq, Toby Cunt Keith, and the backlash against it all. To me, it was one of the first examples of 21st century cancel culture.

Frankly, we should only cancel Nickelback, Trump, Avril, horseradish, and beets.

they came after Glady's Night when she sang the National Anthem at a sports opening 2019
