Dixie Chicks Say They’ve Been on a ‘Hate List’
MNSNBC | Dixie Chicks Say They’ve Been on a ‘Hate List’
[Natalie] Maines said, “We’re ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.”
A new documentary, “Shut Up and Sing,” which opens this week chronicles the backlash and how this country band from Dallas still feels the heat from that 12 word remark.
MATTHEWS: Were you blacklisted?
MAINES: Absolutely. They have a hate list and we were number one.
ROBISON: And you said something about corporate America, you know, it brings up another subject of the consolidation of media. Once again, these were edicts coming down from corporate headquarters, that they weren’t allowed to play our music. It wasn’t a local type of thing. But for the most part, it was coming down from the top, “You are not allowed to play the Dixie Chicks.”
