I've called both of the country stations in San Diego to request "I'm Not Ready To Make Nice" and they told me it wasn't on their play list. However, songs by drunk driving, wife beating, drug addict, spouse cheating country singers are
 .I'm not sure if their album was out in time for the CMA awards (they aren't nominated for anything) but I'd love the Grammy's to give them Country album of the year just to spite Country radio. Kind of like the year kd lang and Lyle Lovett were named Male and Female Country vocalists of the year

I still don't see the big fuss about this. Who cares? Everyone has a right to free speech and their own opinion. I also didn't like the attitude Oprah was bringing to them. I thought she sounded very rude.

NBC loves Bush, Hates the Chicks
http://www.cinematical.com/2006/10/2...-dixie-chicks/ NBC Loves Bush, Hates the Dixie Chicks Posted Oct 27th 2006 10:32AM by Kim Voynar Filed under: Documentary, Independent, Celebrities and Controversy, The Weinstein Co., Movie Marketing, Politics Here's your ironic story of the week, folks: According to a story from Reuters/Hollywood Reporter, The Weinstein Company (TWC) issued a press release late Thursday lambasting NBC for refusing to run an ad for the film Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing! The documentary tells about the period three years ago when the Chicks stirred up mountains of controversy after lead Chick Natalie Maines said during a London concert that the Chicks were ashamed President Bush is from Texas. TWC also released documents that appeared to be from NBCs advertising standards division with handwritten remarks about the film having material that "disparges President Bush." The release also went after the CW Network, which says it had concerns about having "appropriate programming in which to schedule this spot." Harvey Weinstein said in the release, "It's a sad commentary about the level of fear in our society that a movie about a group of courageous entertainers who were blacklisted for exercising their right of free speech is now itself being blacklisted by corporate America." How hilariously ridiculous is it that NBC would refuse to run an ad for a movie that's about artists being censored for publicly stating a political opinion? What exactly where the thought processes going on around the Peacock nest about this? "Heck, Gene, we can't run ads that show these uppity womenfolk talking bad about the president, that's downright un-American." "Damn straight, Lloyd. Those mouthy bitches need to STFU. They're givin' my woman ... ideas." Freedom of speech is one of the most precious rights we have, and those Weinsteins are certainly using their fair share with this release. Now exercise your own right to free speech: The networks have the right, of course, to air or not air what they want. But in this case, was it a completely stupid thing to do? And do you think Harvey Weinstein is legitmately self-righteous about the free speech issue, or is he wisely just taking advantage of a blustery way to call attention to the film? The film opens today in New York and Los Angeles.

Personally, it should come down to the music by the Dixie Chicks, not the controversy or the doctumentary.
I have one of their release and I have only listened to it twice, too plain & average sounding to me (May have to do with the fact that there's plenty of country artists in my home state of Oklahoma who have the very same sound-Some even pre-dating the Dixie Chicks).

^^ Have a great time at the show. If you haven't seen them live before you will be pleasantly surprised at how talented they are both vocally and with their instruments. They are definitely not created by a producer in the studio. They aren't coming to San Diego and I'm not about to fight the LA traffic on a Friday night to see them at Staples Center.

T - how was the show? When I saw them in '03 they were fantastic.
BTW - I watched their Storytellers on VH1 this past Saturday and "Not Ready To Make Nice" literally sent shivers down my spine. Wow.
