Review of Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing (2006) by Denise C — 26 Jun 2008

Great documentary about freedom of speech, censorship, and redneck paranoia.

After initially wanting to backtrack from an anti bush comment when the backlash is intense, the feeling later is fuck it, I stand by what I said. You can't help but respect that after the CD burnings, media witch hunt (a quote from fox news about them needing to be slapped around appears), protests, being blacklisted from country music radio and even death threats. You even get a classic bit of bush stupidity thrown in.

Great music, strength of character, and it makes you wonder how free the free world is when you can't freely say what you believe.
