Wouldn’t it be easier to keep the boycotts straight if the new Dixie Chicks album was actually the soundtrack to The Da Vinci Code?

This would sure streamline the organizational aspect of the boycott, lower prices on picket signs and solidify the voices against these insidious threats to national security.

Seriously, country music stations, get over it. I don’t like the theology of “Not Ready to Make Nice” either, but the album is another great offering from the Chicks.

You don’t have to be Republican to make great Country Music. See: Todd Snider, Rodney Crowell, Nancy Griffith, Emmylou Harris and John Prine.

Not only are the Dixie Chicks phenomenal musicians but they possess the right to an opinion that might differ from the industry mainstream. We’ve listened to Toby Keith get angry and Darryl Worley call us to remember.

Now, how about sharing the playlist?
I don’t buy CDs anymore, but I might have to purchase this one.
