Jenny asked: "What are your thoughts about this? Was she justified in saying what she did and did they deserve the backlash?" in reference to the Dixie Chicks and what Natalie said about President Bush
I personally remember when this happened and remember talking to my mom saying how ridiculous it was that people acted the way that they did. Yes, what Natalie said wasn't the best of things to say on national television, BUT after all, she IS an American citizen, which gives her the rights to say what she wishes.
The song that they wrote (and which I have posted above) definitely has strong meaning. There is a line that says "it's too late to make it right, and I probably wouldn't if I could". That has so much behind it and explains the song as a whole if you know the meaning behind the writing of the song.
Question: If a normal person (non celebrity) made this comment, people would have shaken it off- why do you think people blew this ONE comment out of proportion and pretty much ending the Dixie Chicks?
