As far as the redneck, I mean Toby Keith, he's the one that had this picture, up on the screen at his concerts, first. I can kinda see why the Chicks don't like him and why they would want his ugly mug removed from the venue
Now, Toby Keith has been quoted as saying "he's not sure if going into Iraq was the right thing to do and that we probably won't know for 20 or 30 years, why we really invaded them. Ah, duh.
I'm sure, if you ever get a chance to see this documentary, it will all be cleared up for you.

I like Dixie Chicks, and thought they had a lot of courage. I'm very curious to see the documentary. It had wonderful reviews at Toronto Film Festival and probably will be distributed all over the world, at least on video. Besides one of the directors is the great Barbara Kopple (Wild man blues on Woody Allen was another of her gems). Word is she's going to have another Oscar nomination for this.
