Dixie Chicks: Nude, Proud, Defiant
The Dixie Chicks, who took a lot of heat lately for speaking their minds, have apparently decided not to stop. This surely is a case where a (nekkid) picture is worth a hundred thousand words. From Yahoo:
As a PR move, it’s fucking brilliant. Anyone who just sees the magazine will know where they stand, without reading a word, except perhaps for the words written on their fair skins. It doesn’t matter what you think of their politics or their music; the genius on display here (along with all that yummy flesh) is pure public relations.
Brilliant. Beautiful. Proud. Naked. Bacchus is in love awe.

Half a decade later we can look back and say (with all the record sales, awards, nominations, and sold out concerts that followed over the years), that certain small-minded vocal element that took cheap shots at these three genuine patriots, lost their battle to sweep them under the rug. If you ask me, these Chicks showed that questioning authority is sexy, because that’s the effect their response has had on me.
There is nothing patriotic (and certainly nothing special) about blind allegiance to the leaders of one’s country. Nazi Germany was loyal to Hitler. What makes America different is the scores of men and women who have laid down their very lives for the right to free speech, and those who try to deny that right to others, are just kicking those brave soldiers in the groin, and it’s that kind of thinking that allows despots like Saddam Hussein to gain and remain in power. Sic Semper Tyrannis!
