Podcast take me away... Everything's Canceled is back and your hosts Herman and Lorena are talking everything about the (formerly Dixie) Chicks! In the late 90's and early 2000's country music was huge and the Dixie Chicks were on top of the world. Their albums Wide Open Spaces (1998) and Fly (1999) both sold over 10 million copies and they topped both Pop and Country charts with #1 songs like "There's Your Trouble", "Wide Open Spaces", "You Were Mine", "Cowboy Take Me Away", "Without You", and "Travelin' Soldier". Then the group found themselves the center of massive nation-wide media-fueled controversy after lead singer Natalie Maines made un-rehearsed comments on stage at a show in London in early 2003 about how they did not support the impending US invasion of Iraq and that they were "ashamed" to share their home state of Texas with president George W. Bush. In a post 9-11 patriotic fervor The Chicks became the target of massive scrutiny and derision by the media, public, and in particular, country music radio stations, which started receiving so many complaints that they almost completely stopped playing the Chicks' music entirely. The Chicks chose not to back down and the rest is history. We discuss the rise and fall of the Dixie Chicks, the 2000's media and the lead up to the Iraq war, who did the "canceling" and why, and the differences between the reasons why women are canceled and the reasons men are canceled. Featuring: The Chicks - Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer, "Earl", George W. Bush, WMDs, Toby Keith, Saddam Hussein, Bill O'Reilly and other members of the 2000's era conservative media, Taylor Swift, manager Simon Renshaw, Rick Rubin, Natalie's Ex-husband, and more! We wrap up discussing the mystery and conspiracy around the whereabouts of Princess of Wales Kate Middleton and the suicide of Garrison Brown, son of Kody Brown (former polygamist/star of TLC's Sister Wives). Should Sister Wives be canceled? Don't forget to listen to our previous episodes on Diddy, all 3 parts, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Danny Masterson, Russell Brand... and stay tuned for the next episode of Everything's Canceled!
