The Dixie Chicks respond to the attacks on them that occurred when they apologized at the beginning of the Iraq war for being from the same state as President Bush. You can hear their song: Not Ready to Make Nice on their website. I can’t wait for the album, Taking the Long Way, to come out in May.

I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
