They might be tired of the Nashville star business, but that's the business that got them where they are. It's sort of funny to me, they started out as a pretty hot cowgirl-bluegrass band years ago, and didn't get any major interest till they started showing skin. And it was partly showing skin that got them rich.

Yes, I know they're talented. I know that as well as anybody. I have the now out of print ORIGINAL Dixie Chicks albums from their Past Life. But they chose the mainstream themselves.

I think it's fine for people to express opinions. I just think they should exercise some manners and good sense when they do it. Maybe they're too young to have been taught that in Texas.
