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.
