According to Reuters, The Dixie Chicks received a “stunning validation” of their work since the whole Bush brouhaha bullshit because they cleaned up last night at the Grammys.  I’m not sure you can really say that.  While I think it’s quite an achievement what they accomplished last night, a stunning validation of their work will not happen until they can accomplish the very same thing with the Country Music Associations awards, where they’ve pretty much been in exile since Natalie Maines opened her mouth.  When that happens, when morons like Reba McEntire don’t make pathetic jokes about them to get cheap laughs, when they are welcome back on country music radio stations, then The Dixie Chicks will be vindicated.
