How Do You Like Me Now?!

Hooray for the Dixie Chicks kicking some ass and taking some names at Sunday's Grammy Awards. They totally cleaned up winning all 5 awards they were nominated for including album of the year (for "Taking the Long Way"), song of the year and record of the year (both for "Not Ready to Make Nice"). I can't even imagine how gratifying it must have been for them on many levels. This album was their comeback after the whole Bush thing and it is the first time they wrote all the material themselves. Add to that the award is coming when the country radio community is still pretty much committed to shunning them. Yeah, I can guess they are feeling pretty good about it all, and I have to say I think they totally deserve it. The stuck to their beliefs and held their ground even when it was really unpopular and began to jeopardize their careers. Oh and they ended up making a truly beautiful and amazing album that is a work of art and in my opinion is their best work yet. Well done, Dixie Chicks!
