Taking the Long Way -- Dixie Chicks
4 of 8 found this helpful I miss the CW emphasis, but these women are so talented, it's natural for them to explore all their musical tastes and abilities. As always, this album is well-constructed and admirably performed. I like and respect the Chicks -- and bought,listened to, and asked DJs to play their music throughout the "rough" period after their anti-Bush comment in England. This album, though, seems to be a continuation of that or attempt at convincing everyone of their right to speak out and oppose an administration they disagree with. I say, let's get on with their careers and our listening enjoyment -- there are so many ways to handle dissent, and though much of the media just had to play that one up really big, I think they're no different from others in the limelight, who feel free (as they should) to voice opinions, but are, after all, entertainers, not those running our country. So let them be entertainers -- and we need to do our job (i.e., VOTE) to remove from office those politicians we feel are acting against our wishes.
