The Dixie Chicks - "local heroines" back in UK


In case anyone missed her notorious quote the first time - the 2003 remark that sparked a radio ban, mass CD destruction and multiple death threats - chief Dixie Chick Natalie Maines said it again last night at London's Shepherds Bush Empire Theatre.

"Just so you know, we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."

Their new single "Not Ready to Make Nice" has barely been played on American radio, which Maines seemed to see as another badge of honour.

She sang it here with true passion, fists clenched.

Insider doubts anyone will be burning last night's T-shirts, which read: "The Bush we trust is Shepherds Bush".
