The London Free Press of London Ontario Canada has made me very, very proud today. It appears that, not only do many Americans stand firmly behind the Dixie Chicks and their film, "Shut Up and Sing", which is released in Canada today to couple with the sold-out concerts the talented Texas trio are performing at the Air Canada Centre tomorrow and Sunday nights. In America, the band is still experiencing backlash from the comment that lead singer Natalie Maines, made in 2003 made about how she and her bandmates, Martie Maguire and Emily Robinson, were ashamed that the president of the United States was from Texas. Here in the U.S., they are playing to crowds about half the size that they performed to before the comment was made. But, now, they don't really seem to care, because they know (along with many of their die-hard fans) that they were right in their words and they're right now in their actions, and they're still kicking ass.
