In March 2003, just as America was about to invade Iraq and post-9/11 patriotism was still running high, the Dixie Chicks played a concert in London, where frontwoman Natalie Maines said, "Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." Natalie's unplanned remark about former Texas governor and then-U.S. president George W. Bush sparked a massive backlash, particularly throughout the country music community, resulting in a widespread boycott of the trio's music and even death threats. But three years later, the Chicks rebounded with their Grammy-winning smash "Not Ready To Make Nice," which directly addressed the incident and its fallout. (photo: FilmMagic)
