What catagory are they considered now?

I have been in Canada for five years, but I heard their popularity in the US dropped tremendously after their antics a couple of years go.

I know they are banned on at least one Charleston, WV station my mom listens to

Since they got so much negative publicity in Country, they decided it was a good time to cross over to pop.

They're Pop. I was pleased as punch to hear the following last month


"In an interview posted Monday (Jan. 27) on Entertainment Weekly's Web site, she says she's grateful for "The Incident" -- when she told a London audience that she was "ashamed" that President Bush is from Texas -- and that she has no regrets about the consequences, including the unofficial end to the Dixie Chicks' career in country music.

"I would be cheating myself and not setting a good example for my children to go back to something that I don't wholeheartedly believe in. So I'm pretty much done. They've shown their true colors. I like lots of country music, but as far as the industry and everything that happened ... I couldn't want to be farther away from that," she tells the magazine. "

I wonder how her muscician father Lloyd Maines feels about that.

Doesnt take too much strength to reject someone or something that has completely rejected her.

She wasnt country before hand its just now, in addition to not being country she doesnt fit in with the Nashville Pop scene.

Good riddance

She should be country as her roots are deep in country. Her dad is Lloyd maines, one of the top steel and slide guitar players. He is also a respected country record producer as well had his on band, the Maines Borthers. She is just a popoff scatterbrain from Lubbock.

From: "Enjoy every sandwich" - Warren Zevon
"Excitable Boy" by Warren Zevon.

"He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy ."
