Group Formerly Known As Dixie Chicks – The Ball Is In Your Court. Do The Right Thing.

So – remember a while back when The Dixie Chicks got on the Woke Train and decided to feel retroactively guilt-ridden for having a band name that in any way referenced the Old South?  They changed their name to The Chicks, which really pissed us off, frankly, seeing as how we colloquially refer to OURSELVES as The Chicks CONSTANTLY, and have for the past 13 years.  We knew there’d be confusion as a result, and there has been.

There was a woman who kept calling our voicemail when we were on radio at WIBC, asking us to come sing the National Anthem at a Florida Democrat convention. We’ve received emails from people about our musical performances.  It’s all been just so completely and unnecessarily stupid, and one more reason in a long list of reasons for us to be irritated by and disgusted with these pathetic woke singers who didn’t even have enough integrity to HOLD ON TO THEIR OWN FREAKING NAME for fear of hurting some idiot’s feel-bads.  You cave to the woke mob like that? You are a ball-less coward and I have no respect for you.  Sorrynotsorry.

BUT, it’s time to put aside my personal feelings about the Dixie Chicks (which is how I’ll always refer to them), because of the nature of the email we got yesterday.  This email ripped my heart wide open.  I’m hiding personal info/contact details for the moment.

Hi The Chicks! My name is M____ N____ and I have Down Syndrome!   I am a huge fan of The Dixie Chicks, which is The Chicks!   I listen to all of your songs a lot!  I just heard, there is a concert coming in (City Name)!  I am, the youngest of 7 and some of my sisters and my nieces are planning to come for this concert!  I love country music non stop!   I have a sister lives in (City Name)!  I took off for this concert!  I am, wondering if maybe I could get tickets for the concert and maybe back stage passes! I was, wondering if I could get an autograph picture with your signature!  And maybe those tickets!  You can always send it to me at (***, City, State, Zip). Lastly, I really appreciate, if you could do this for me! I would love to meet you in person too!  I really hope this will workout!  Thank you for your patients with me!  Sincerely, M____N____.

I mean, I don’t know how any decent human could read that and not get a pull at the heartstrings.  I might not like the Dixie Chicks, but by golly, this precious angel DOES like them, and it’s not her fault that the Dixie Chicks changed their name and got her confused about where to send the email.

So, I responded:

Hi M____!  You sound like the best fan ever!  Unfortunately, this email address doesn’t belong to The Chicks (formerly The Dixie Chicks).  This email belongs to the Chicks on the Right – and we are not musicians – we are podcasters.  We are sorry that there was confusion and hope you are able to track down the correct email address for the singers you love so much!  Wish we could help! Take care – Mock and Daisy (Chicks on the Right)

But there’s gotta be more we can do here, right?  So I figured, why not post this and try to let the internet do its thing? Maybe enough people will share this that it’ll reach someone who knows someone who knows the right someone from the Dixie Chicks team who will then reach out to us to get this megafan’s contact info, and we can put them in touch with her and they’ll make her dream of meeting them and getting to see their concert come true.  If they do that?  I might put aside my irritation at their dumbass name change. I might even try to like their music.

We’re not hard to find.  Our email address is [email protected].

Please share this and help M get to the show!
