On a related note, their new album is great. I got it through Amazon and my physical copy has Dixie Chicks and the copy has The Chicks.
I’ve listened several times straight through since getting it the other day. They’re just taking a flamethrower to Natalie Maines’ ex (in a deniable way that they can’t talk about due to his lawsuit), and it really works.
Howard Stern did an amazing +1hr interview with Natalie Maines this week.
She explains the name change then Stern says aren’t you concerned that some women (feminists) offended by the term “chicks” and she laughs and says that they may just go to “The” next.
Highlights and full interview:
Huh. What’s going to happen to Dixieland music?
Many fans of this type of music prefer the term “traditional jazz,” not because the word “Dixie” is associated with racism, but because “Dixieland” conjures up images of cheezy music played by old guys in striped shirts and straw hats.
Moderator Warning.
This is pure trolling and being a jerk. This is an official warning.
