chromodynamicsAs a former red-state liberal, I found this article by Dave White excellent. Just a small excerpt:
"I’m from Texas. I love country music. I lived in Dixie Chick Natalie Maines’s hometown of Lubbock, Texas, for seven years. ... I am the formerly silent liberal-redneck constituency that loves the Chicks for their music and their politics. I’m ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas, too. I’m thrilled to see the band come out swinging with the taunting lead single 'Not Ready to Make Nice.' And it’s good to see that 'Taking the Long Way' debuted at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard album chart, selling more than 526,000 copies."
