The Dixie Chicks Plan to Break Up Because that Short One Won’t Stop Alienating Fans

I think I’ve already expressed my marked disinterest in country music, but I’ve always been kind of fond of the Dixie Chicks, mainly because they always seemed kind of cool and brave in the face of conservative opposition and shied away from songs that bragged about their redneck origins. But all good things come to an end, according the National Enquirer:

The controversial country superstars have secretly decided to split up after the Grammy Awards - because Emily Robison and Martie Maguire no longer want to share the nest with outspoken Natalie Maines, say sources.  “The Chicks are tired and wrung out,” said a group insider. “They feel they’ve come to the end, and they want a break from each other to spend more time with their families.” The three women, who have seven children among them, are at odds over Natalie’s blunt political ramblings. And while sources say sisters Emily and Martie share many of Natalie’s anti-George W. Bush views, they feel her public rants have taken the focus off their music.

Maybe I can recruit impressionable, young Carrie Underwood to speak out against the war in Iraq so I can have a replacement country artist to look up to. [Source, Source]
