Finally the Grammy are no longer brain dead

I am not a fan of Country music in general (at least, not what they call Country music these days, which is really just pop music with horses and steel guitars), but the Chicks are awesomely talented writers, arrangers, players, singers and performers. They are totally the real deal, and deserving of the honors they got.

Was it political? Duh. That said, good for them. Who the hell made the rule that every redneck musician had to blindly follow the Conservative agenda?

Southerners used to be Democrats, back when Democrats were slightly less ignorant.

Less? Southerners used to be Democrats, back when Democrats were the pro-slavery, and later the anti-civil-rights party. The south went red when the Dixiecrats went Republican.

I seem to recall the South being Dem long after slavery had been abolished and lynchings being almost illegal.

Point well made, though. The South did sorta go with whoever they thought would keep the po' folk down, didn't they?
