Dixie Chicks Bring Political Edge to Grammys? WTF?

by Len Neighbors

What planet are these people living on? The very notion that The Dixie Chicks could bring a political edge to the Grammys, as the headline suggests, is ludicrous and should be resisted by all who think civilization is valuable and worth saving.

We understand that the phrase "I'm embarassed by Dubya" is political in nature, to a degree, but it has roughly the same edginess as "I dislike crime" or "I think elections should be fair." You don't get to be edgy by going to another country and parroting the opinion of everyone else in your industry. You get to be, well, newsworthy-ish

Perhaps the Grammys need something besides music to make them interesting again. Or maybe just some different music? We suggest penguins. Everybody loves penguins.
