What is going on with the Dixie Chicks? I know they’re lefties, but I like their music. I wish they’d do something to allow me to feel better about them. But lead singer Natalie Maines seems unable and unwilling to make a real apology for her terrible remarks. Last night, Travis Tritt had to make excuses for Maines on O’Reilly, since she herself refused to show up. As I see it, this is not primarily a question of opposition to the war. I could certainly forgive the Chicks for that, although I disagree with them. No, something more unsettling is going on here.
