Ananova:

Chicks to break with country scene

The Dixie Chicks say they don't want to be a country music band any more.

Violinist Martie Maguire told Spiegel magazine: "We don't feel part of the country scene any longer, it can't be our home any more."

She said she was disappointed other country singers didn't back up the Dixie Chicks in their criticism of George W Bush's politics on Iraq.

"A few weeks ago, Merle Haggard said a couple of nice words about us, but that was it," Maguire complained.

"The support we got came from others, like Bruce Springsteen."

Going home empty-handed from the Country Awards ceremony also made them decide to break with the scene, Maguire said.

"Instead, we won three Grammys against much stronger competition.

"So we now consider ourselves part of the big Rock 'n' Roll family."

Awww, cry me a freakin river. These ungreatful women don't deserve any support whatsoever. Basicly they just impuned all Country Music folks by saying this. Since they did not support them they are leaving?? GOOD!

We already know what side of the cultural divide they are on. Now they can do a concert with Moby and wallow in their misery at being ruled by an "evil f***".

Natalie has never embraced country music. She's been leading the charge to cross over from the beginning. The sisters best watch out that she doesn't dump them to take a shot at a solo career.

They aren't leaving country; country left them months ago.
