The Chicks and P!nk

kayy so this shut up and sing deal is pretty much saying that if you are a singer then you have no say in anything and you keep your mouth shut about everything, you just sing and nothing else. i find it very good that Natalie said that about Bush she's a woman who stands up and says what she wants that's why i like the Dixie Chicks free spirit and speech, the reason why everyone reacted so negativly to that was becuase Bush was on top of the charts at that time about the war and such but really the soldiers had no reason to be there wehn people started calling the dixie chicks "bimbos and women that need to be slapped around it was completly uncalled for, also the sponsors for the Chicks, was worried that their "cash cows" were gonna lose money so they wanted to back out well before they fall out. the quotes go on "Saddams Angels", "Dixie Sluts" etc. but at this time someone else spoke out but in song and that was P!nk with the song "Mr. President" it was very strong in words and hope it's just more of a reason to tear down Bush, when people found out that there was no nuclear weapons, no heavy artillery, no reason to actually be there Bush came crashing down and Dixie Chicks came up rising again, the radio before bush came crashing down the radio wasn't playing the Chicks songs because everyone was so appauled on what natalie said, but if the radio played them people would just turn the channel to a different station so radio stations didn't do that cause they could get low ratings and be shut down. but again when The Chicks came back to the "scene of the crime" after their show Natalie said it once again "were ashamed that our president is from Texas" but everybody cheered this time they were actually supporting her not Bush. even though this is over now the Chicks made a song called "i'm not ready to make nice" it's all about the issue that happened and how people turn so quick but natalie is still mad about it.
