WOOOOO!!! The Dixie Chicks are gonna tour the US again in 2016.

18. The Country music industry were down on the Dixie Chicks long before the W thing.

The Dixie Chicks got their first Nashville deal when Country Disco, aka Line Dancing, was the fad and Country music had become Rock & Roll with a cowboy hat and a twang. They showed up at the studio with their steel guitar and were told, "no steel guitars". They pointed out that (1) that ain't in the contract, and (2) this is what we were doing that got you to sign with us in the first place. On top of that, the Chicks refused to wear cowboy hats and rhinestones and went with funky hair colors and the link instead.

The Industry wanted everyone to sing Rock and dress Country. The Chicks were dressing Rock and singing Country.

Then they went and became the second biggest selling Country group in Nashville history making the Industry executives look like the dumbasses they were/are. So when the Dixie Chicks came out with the song Goodbye, Earl, the Industry banned them from Country stations all over the nation. They claimed a song about killing an abusive ex-husband with poisoned black-eyed peas betrayed Country values.

Demonstrating just how completely unfamiliar the executives are with Country music since most of us know that that is practically the definition of Country music.
