In March 2003, during a London concert and just before the US invasion of Iraq, the lead vocalist of The (Dixie) Chicks, Natalie Maines, told the audience: "We don't want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." Her statement led to radio boycotts, public protests, and corporate blacklisting of the group that lasted for the remainder of the Bush years.
In this episode, Mariam and Aisha share the story of The (Dixie) Chicks, as they discuss their relationship with country music, their thoughts on “cancel culture”, and their Chris rankings.
