Dixie Chicks ”Martie” Speaks: Will They Abandon The Country Music Scene?
Posted on 25 Sep 2003 at 11:00pm
The Dixie Chicks want out of the country music scene, according to comments group member Martie Maguire made to German magazine, Spiegel. She said, “We don’t feel part of the country scene any longer, it can’t be our home any more.”
The musician’s attitude is reportedly based on the lack of support shown to the Chicks during the backlash of Natalie Maines’ anti-Bush comment to a London audience earlier this year. Maguire adds, “A few weeks ago, Merle Haggard said a couple of nice words about us, but that was it. The support we got came from others, like Bruce Springsteen.”
