I don't often have a reason to get political here; when the mood takes
me I have my other blog for that. And
it's almost as rare when I have something positive to say about
country music. Not that I have anything against the music, its
performers or fans; it's just not my thing. But I have to give credit
to the Dixie Chicks. Not just for their music, or for having
the courage to stand up and say what even diehard conservatives are
finally admitting about the President, back at a point that people
were using words like traitor to anybody who dared question him.
Especially country music fans, who as a group don't have the most
liberal reputation.
Anyway, I'm enjoying the Chicks' new release, both as a song
and as a response to those who, even if they're willing to forgive and
forget, haven't yet figured out that the Chicks aren't the
one who should be seeking forgiveness. Not very Christian to avoid
turning the other check, I suppose. Then again, I'm not very
Christian either.
