  1. Natalie Maines, Emily Robison, Martie Maguire F. U. D. C

  2. Wide Open Spaces Fly Home CMT’s # 13 out of 40 of the 40 Greatest Women of Country Music Sang “Star Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl XXXVII Dixie Chicks before the incident

  3. March 10, 2003- Sherpherd’s Bush Empire Theatre in London. The Incident “Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas”

  4. Country! Country! Country!

  5. If you want to understand America, turn that dial to a country-music station.

  6. Media’s blowing it out of proportion Radio Boycotting Former fans were encouraged to bring their D.C. c.d.’s in to be crushed by a bulldozer Death threats Lost Support from the Country Core The Aftermath + Country Core

  7. The Dixie Chicks vs. Toby Keith

  8. Lyrics that Kill! “Now this nation that I love Has fallen under attack A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in From somewhere in the back Soon as we could see clearly Through our big black eye Man, we lit up your world Like the 4th of July” By Toby Keith “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)”

  9. Dixie Chicks & the Power Bloc Kincheloe p.9 “The power bloc, Fiske contends, is more likely an ever-shifting set of strategic and tactical alliances. Such alliances are arranged unsystematically whenever social situations arise that threaten the ‘allies’ interests.” Fiske in Kincheloe p.9 “Power is a systematic set of operations upon people that works to ensure the maintenance of social order... And to ensure its smooth running!”

  10. Country Singers speak out! Male perspective

  11. No Girls Allowed! • Tim McGraw • Dixie Chicks

  12. Consequences • Are the consequences worse if you are female? • Merle Haggard • Female Gender is not part of the Power Block

  13. Fought back with their music CD: “Taking the Long Way” How They Dealt with it + Revolutionary Music

  14. Buddy Holly Started his career in bluegrass. He switched to rock & roll after seeing Elvis perform. He was later signed by Decca Records where he lost all input in his music. With little success he was released from his contract and was told he was not to record any of the songs or even mention them for the next five years. On his own he re-found fame. He many to bridge some of the racial divide that marked rock n roll music when he opened up for an all black audience in 1956.

  15. Retraction of Apology Shut Up + Sing NBC baring ads Harvey Weinstein Where Dixie Chicks Are Now

  16. Women shouldn’t speak out (at least not publicly!) Nationalism and the white power bloc Music is politically charged Students can’t just shut up & listen. If you are not in, you are out! “White people are uniquely positioned to play a crucial role in challenging white power and privilege” (Carr & Lund, “The Unspoken Color of Diversity”) What This Teaches + Uses as a Teachable

  17. Falling Outside the Power Bloc “Falling outside the power block does not mean that such an individual has no power; the power such outsiders hold is weaker power.” (Lang, 2009) Because the Dixie Chicks fell outside the power block they became much weaker, than they originally were. One comment almost caused them their entire career. The revolution of music can be used to teach students that no matter how bad things become, there is always a way to fight back. When life may seem like it has come to an end, it’s not the end, but a possibility for a new beginning.
