Dixie Chicks cancel tour dates, add others – COUNTRY MUSIC – MSNBC.com
Several concerts on the Dixie Chicks’ “Accidents & Accusations” tour have been canceled after slow ticket sales, but the group says it has replaced them with other dates.
It’s been strange watching the Dixie Chicks handle a little controversy. Instead of just saying, “Don’t we have a right to an opinion?” they took the “we are being persecuted” approach. Opinions can have consequences but handling it like a victim is just silly. They acted like they were being censored by the government. They weren’t but a lot of folks decided not to play or listen to their music. That’s called freedom, ladies. Laura Ingraham had it correct when she said “shut up and sing”.
