The Dixie Chicks are raising a rukus again. This time they are using Lubbock's name.
The Chicks new album contains a song called 'Lubbock or Lave It.' It criticizes local radio stations who boycotted their music after the trio made anti-Bush remarks at a concert three years ago.
Another song called 'Not Ready to Make Nice' is about the backlash they recieved from the Bush comments.
The album is due out in April.

Cunning runts pulling more stunts when we all wish they'd just punt !
'cuse me but are you trying to be a cunning linquist?
The big thing now are T-shirts that say "Keep Lubbock Flat". I would wear one, but it would be a contradiction.
I'm sure you have plenty of time to recall your days in Lubbock on your 1-1/2 hour commute if you've moved to one of Texas' "bigger" cities. Me, I'll be on my 2nd cocktail in an hour.
I like Larry's quote, T.
Happiness is Lubbock in my read view mirror.
yeah, me too. When I lived in McGregor, a bunch of us would drive to Dallas to visit with friends and hit the West End where the original Dixie Chicks would play. The Chicks had a 'cult' following back then (before Natalie). I have one of their first CD's "Little 'Ol Cowgirl" that I absolutely love. They've REALLY changed since Ms. Maines joined the group.
That's a great line.
Any odds on them winning a Grammy tonight? They are nominated for a song they did for Katrina relief, but their manager chose not to pursue getting it on the radio. So it's a song hardly anyone has heard.
Apparently you haven't ever really heard/read/paid attention to the Mac Davis song "Texas in My Rearview Mirror."
He starts it off saying that he THOUGHT happiness was Lubbock, Tx in his rearview mirror, but you shouldn't stop there. The last stanza he sings:
"I guess happiness was Lubbock, Texas in my rear view mirror.
But now happiness is Lubbock, Texas growing nearer and dearer,
and the vision is gettin' clearer in my dreams,
And I think finally I know what it means,
And when I die you can bury me in Lubbock, Texas in my jeans."
