“Shut Up And Sing” The Dixie Chicks Documentary
There is drama today as the new ads for The Dixie Chicks documentary “Shut Up And Sing” have been pulled from NBC & The CW Network. “Shut Up And Sing” chronicles their controversy over lead singer Natalie Maine’s statement, “I am ashamed the President is from Texas” at a concert over 3 years ago. The excuse being thrown around by the netowrks is that they cannot find programming to put the ads on. Huh?
This new type of censorship is only going to boost ticket and c.d. sales, most likely backfiring the politically motivated intention of the ban by the networks in the first place. I love The Dixie Chicks, and have tickets to see them this coming November.
Their latest album is an intimate, moving, sincere, harsh response to this mess. It is one of the best c.d.’s to come out all year. They once again prove talent, angelic voices and true musicianship can overcome any obstacles, even a bad Presidency.
BELOW IS THE POWERFUL AND STIRRING TRAILER:
