Dixie Chicks: We don't want to be country
Knight Ridder Newspapers

The Dixie Chicks say they don't want to be a country music band any more.
"We don't feel part of the country scene any longer," violinist Martie
Maguire told Spiegel magazine. "It can't be our home any more."
Maguire said she was disappointed other country singers didn't back up the
Chicks in their criticism of President Bush's politics on Iraq.
"A few weeks ago, Merle Haggard said a couple of nice words about us, but
that was it," she said. "The support we got came from others, like Bruce
Springsteen."
Going home empty-handed from the Country Music Awards also made them decide
to break with the scene, Maguire said.
"Instead, we won three Grammys against much stronger competition. So we now
consider ourselves part of the big rock 'n' roll family."

Hey, we don't want them in the rock world, either. Any hip-hoppers out there willing to take them "under their wing" ?
