Touching story about a mother who regrets her reactionary ways vis a vis the Dixie Chicks.  (h/t to DK).

I definitly appreciate that article ... u know i'm a huge dixie chick fan myself :)

There are several people I know who are still holding grudges against them. (not all of them being ignorant rednecks) The funny thing is, if you ask them why, it's hard for them to come up with an honest and cohesive answer. They are followers, and they don't even know what the hell they are following...

For at least a year, we had 2 local radio stations that refused to play the Chicks b/c of listener protests and hate letters. It was ridiculous.

My friend and I used to call and request Dixie Chicks songs, trying to piss the station off and show support at the same time. Of course, the station never played our requested songs.

It's good to know that some people are finally seeing the light...
