Dixie Chicks on Oprah

Air Head America

I had never seen the Dixie Chicks being interviewed until they appeared on Oprah yesterday.  Mother Superior called me in, and replayed parts of their TIVO'd chat.  Guess what? I don't hate them anymore. How can you?  They have the demeanor, and display the intellect of  12 year old Valley Girls.  I'm talking way, way empty.   Here's some samples .. not word for word quotes, but 100% accurate in terms of  content and style.  The chat was about this Natalie Maines' statement , made during a 2003 concert in England. "Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas." Oprah:  You do understand that the reaction was because you said it overseas, don't you? Maines.  Well, no I don't.  I mean, if we were in enemy territory yeah, but England was fighting with us. I mean, it was like we were back in the 50's or something, not in the United States. Because of death threats the Chicks had to hire a security detail.  In a film clip, Valerie is having makeup applied  while the security chief  briefs her.  He shows her a picture of a man suspected of issuing some of the threats. Maines:  He's kind of cute ("Eeewwws" in the background) ... Well, he is .... Emily Robinson expressed bitterness that "they ruined our career, because we expressed our freedom of speech.'' No, Emily, you ruined your career, not ''they.''   Total airheads, all three.
