Free Speech the Big Winners at the Grammy Awards

The Dixie Chicks were big winners at the Grammy Awards tonight. My wife is a big fan. I started out tolerating them everytime she would play one of their CD's, but I have grown to like the Dixie Chicks. The CD that won all of the awards is pretty good. Here is one of the songs called Easy Silence...



The media is going to try to make their big night at the Grammy's into being anti-Bush and anti-war. Their CD is neither. The CD is more of a response to the criticism, threats, and stifling of free speech they received over the past couple years. It is good to see the Dixie Chicks didn't back down. Free speech prevailed.

Here is the trailer of the documentary Shut Up and Sing about what the Dixie Chicks went through...

Get a grip, no one stifled their freedom of speech.

What the hell man?

Freedom of speech doesn't mean no public backlash...

If you want further education, go to Corn Beltway Boys.

I have never seen the word education in the same sentence at the Corn Beltway Boys. Seems to me to be an oxymoron.
