Dixie Chicks(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)The Dixie Chicks are a country music group, comprising Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, and Emily Robison and have sold over 36 million albums as of May 2008.The group formed in 1989 in Dallas, Texas, and was originally composed of four women performing bluegrass and country music, busking and touring the bluegrass festival circuits and small venues for six years, without attracting a major label.
Ten days before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, lead vocalist Natalie Maines said "We don't want this war, this violence; and, we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas", (the Dixie Chicks' home State). The statement offended people who thought it rude and unpatriotic, and the ensuing controversy cost the group half of their concert audience attendance in the United States and led to charges of the three female bandmates being un-American, as well as hate mail and the destruction of their albums in protest.
