Sunday

Three naked women posed on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. Scrawled on their skin were words like "Traitor," "Big Mouth," and "Shut up." The women were...the Dixie Chicks. (Click to see photo).

At a later concert, Natalie Maines joked that "I thought about not wearing this skirt, because I knew I had to sit down. But then I thought, half of you have seen me naked anyway."

They were already caught in a bigger controversy after saying something unsupportive about President Bush. In an interview Bush acknowledged they were free to speak their mind -- but then supported the boycott of their albums. "They shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records when they speak out. You know, freedom is a two-way street."

The last word on this controversy goes to Bruce Springsteen. "[T]hey're terrific American artists expressing American values by using their American right to free speech," Springsteen writes on his web site. "For them to be banished wholesale from radio stations, and even entire radio networks, for speaking out is un-American....


"The pressure coming from the government and big business to enforce conformity of thought concerning the war and politics goes against everything that this country is about - namely freedom. Right now, we are supposedly fighting to create freedom in Iraq, at the same time that some are trying to intimidate and punish people for using that same freedom here at home.

"I don't know what happens next, but I do want to add my voice to those who think that the Dixie Chicks are getting a raw deal, and an un-American one to boot. I send them my support."
