So the Dixie Chicks got some love tonight at the Grammys. The Country Music Association shut them out (forget wins -- the Chicks didn't even get any nominations for their latest disc, Taking The Long Way). But the liberal left coasters cast their lot with the blue state outcasts.
When they won Record of the Year, the sisters (Martie and Emily) were crying. Lead singer and legendary Bush basher Natalie looked moved for a second, then shit eatin' grinnish, then teary onstage. It must be hard not to be drunk on vindication on a night like tonight. They deserve it, though nothing will ever make up for what they've been through. If you haven't seen Shut Up and Sing, you need to. It was worse for them than you thought, and will never really end.
P.S. Hey Toby "We'll Put a Boot In Their Ass/It's the American Way" Keith -- Remember when you said the Chicks weren't songwriters? How many Song of the Year Grammys have you got?
