The Dixie Chicks have taken a big hit lately for exercising their basic right to express themselves, ... For them to be banished wholesale from radio stations, and even entire radio networks, for speaking out is un-American. The pressure coming from the government and big business to enforce conformity of thought concerning the war and politics goes against everything that this country is about -- namely freedom.
You can't start a fire, worryin about your little world fallin apart, this gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
