Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing with Dylan Tupper Rupert
Manage episode 379354623 series 3413889
Today's episode is about "Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing", a 2006 doc about the (formerly Dixie) Chicks and the fallout from Natalie Maines' famous 2003 comment, "We do not want this war, this violence. We're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas". The film was directed by Barbara Kopple and Cecilia Peck.
Our guest for this episode is the music writer and podcast producer Dylan Tupper Rupert.
We follow the band as they deal with the immediate repercussions of the statement and get a view of the social and political climate in the U.S. during the early days of the Iraq War. The movie takes us back and forth between 2003 and the band's 2005-6 recording of their next album, Taking the Long Way, and subsequent tour.
The movie presents the Chicks as a trio with an unbreakable bond facing the first real challenge to their spectacular career. While the focus is on "the comment" and what follows, the movie also gives us an opportunity to appreciate the Chicks' incredible catalog of hits and undeniable musicianship.
