Music vs. Politics ...
11 August 2007
This was an interesting show from a historical perspective. I watched the movie with great interest and I have never even listened to a Dixie Chick song in full before.

Basically, this is a documentary about how the band dealt with the public reaction to a band member's on-stage comments about the president:

"Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."

It follows them from 2003 to 2006 and depicts their personal and public reactions to what happened - and the decisions they made about what to do as a band.

Although I knew nothing about them before (and politics aside), I was really impressed with them as human beings. They came across as very respectable individuals - esp. with how they talked about their sponsors and each other.

I also learned about how successful and "major" this group is - I never paid attention to them before, but they're on my radar now. This documentary is worth watching for fans and non-fans alike.
