In 2005, the Dixie Chicks had gone from being the darlings of the country music world to its biggest pariahs. The band had endured death threats, cancelled tour dates and the unbridled hostility of country radio hosts in the wake of the lead singer Natalie Maines´ now notorious offhand remark - made at the Shepherd´s Bush Empire in London 10 days before the outbreak of the Iraq war - that she was ashamed President George Bush was from her home state of Texas.
