Well< I'm ashamed to say that though I had heard of the Dixie Chicks I had never actually heard anything by them until a couple of weeks ago when I was surfing on the TV and there they were playing a wonderfully arranged and rendered song entitled "Soldiers Marching". I was spellbound by their talent a delivery and just had to wait until itwas over to find out who they were.

Well, that doesn't have anything to do with the thread but, hey, I'm proud that one of those ladies had the courage to express herself. Yeah, given their NASCAR, Budweiser and Bubba audience, I think its great. This audience, unfortunately are mostly the Epsilons of society and have been dumbed down sufficient for their roles. Yeah, I'm sure someone is gonna think I'm being aroogant here and maybe I am, but it's true. I've known a bunch of these folks in my day and live in an area that has more than it's share. I love to see someone step out from winning a NASCAR race and say something. I'm sure there are folks on the circuit who have anit-war opinions but in these days, the 1st Ammendment ain't doing too well.
