DIXIE CHICKS TREATED WITH SOUTHERN COURTESY AND RESPECT: “Those Death Threats Were So Charming. Southern Boys Really Know How To Treat a Lady.”

AUSTIN, TEXAS – Returning home after a long, successful European tour, country music artists the Dixie Chicks reminisced about how much their countrymates made them long for home.

“Out on the road for so long, you really get a longing for abusive, red neck threats and intolerance,” said singer Natalie Maines.

Her band mates agreed.

“Until Natalie made that comment about the President, we weren’t really missing home so much,” Emily Robison agreed. “The Europeans were so cordial, accepting, and tolerant.”

Martie Maguire cut in, “Yeah, them boys over there are just so, well… mannered. I was really glad to hear the insults, and you know, flat out tough-guy threats coming toward us little ladies from three-hundred pound men back home. Natalie’s the genius. She, thank the lord, found a way to get them cussing and swearing at us – you know, makin’ us feel like we were right back home with them.”

Maines blushed demurely. “You know how famous us Southerners are for our manners, grace and respect. I just wanted to feel some of the down home hatred we just couldn't recreate on the road.”

As for whether or not the experience will influence their music in the future, Maines said, “Of course. We will do our part to cower in submission to the right-wing attack machine and be sure to act and sound more patriotic in the future.”
