Dixie Chicks Stand Strong, Win Big

When the Dixie Chicks stood for what they believed in a few years back, the country-music community ostracized them. Instead of caving to the musically oriented right-wing, they fought back last year with "Not Ready To Make Nice." The American did not scorn them, much to my delight they were showered with praise and record-breaking sales of their album that continued to fight the President and his policies.

Tonight they were honored with five awards at the Grammys. Those were no small awards either, including album of the year, song of the year and record of the year. Certainly no small feat to say the least. On top of that they sang their signature song to the crowd and the television audience at home. Cheers to you Dixie Chicks! We are not ready to make nice with Bush either!

Check the performance out here at Crooks and Liars.
