ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: MasterJaguar01 ORIGINAL: thompsonx Bill Clinton, for many years now, is suffering from "Dixie Chick Syndrome": The dixie chicks are hugely popular, more so since the comment about dubya. Slick willie should be so lucky. Hugely popular? More so since the comment about dubya? Uhhhh No. Not by any measure. And not according to Natalie Maines (who would know). Right or wrong, Bill Clinton is infinitely more popular than the Chicks (who, like Bill, was once awesome!) Your opinion is in conflict with reality. As of 2015, Dixie Chicks have won 13 Grammy Awards, including five in 2007 for Taking the Long Way—which received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year—and "Not Ready to Make Nice", a single from that album. By December 2015, with 30.5 million certified albums sold,[2] and sales of 27.5 million albums in the U.S. alone, they had become the top selling all-female band and biggest selling country group in the U.S. during the Nielsen SoundScan era (1991–present).[3][4][5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixie_Chicks#2003.E2.80.9305:_Political_controversy You didn't read the full article. Even the excerpt you quoted refers to their career in aggregate. It never indicates that they remain hugely popular. You also badly conflate grammys (music industry recognition) with popularity. I enjoy their immense talent and creativity. However, asserting that they are currently hugely popular is just not true. Nor does this wiki link establish that. And of course, popularity wasn't my main point anyway. I was referring to the quality of their music post the dubya comment. ok... Enough about the Dixie Chicks :)
