http://www.shamusyoung.com/lemon/index.phpThe Dixie Chicks admit that "all those twangy guitars and violins and stuff just get on our nerves".
AUSTIN, TX -- Country music sensations the Dixie Chicks revealed to a sold-out crowed that they "really don't like country music". Lead singer Natalie Maines made the stunning remark in passing between songs. She quickly added, "We don't like it, but that's what was big when we were trying to break into the business, so that's what we went with", and then launched into the next song.
Fearing that perhaps the crowd had misunderstood Maines' remarks, Emily Robison jumped in at the end of the song to clarify, "Look, it's not like we hate country music or anything, it's just not our thing. Besides, the fans can be such... such hicks!"
The next day many fans burned their Dixie Chicks CD's, and some even started listening to rap music in protest.
Shocked that their comments had caused such a firestorm, Natalie Maines later said, "I don't understand why people are reacting like this, or censoring us. This is still a free country and we are all entitled to our opinion, and we don't appreciate you bumpkins hassling us. Also, we will be performing at the TD Waterhouse in Orlando, FL on May third, I hope to see you all there!"
