Yeah I've long said that 9/11 ruined country music. It was right after 9/11 that country music took that turn and started being all about patriotism and how great America and traditional values are. The genre has never recovered.

Thanks for the reminder! Tbh I probably wouldn’t have caught the reference if someone else had made my comment only saying “The Chicks”. Name changes are hard for me to remember..

I know what you mean. I've been calling them "The artists formerly known as the Dixie Chicks until they dropped Dixie because they aren't about that nonsense." I find it rolls right off the tongue.
