But yet, why are the Dixie Chicks cancelling dates in most of the red state areas and getting more dates in Canada, of all places?

The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism

Translation: I despise freedom, human rights, democracy, and capitalism, and God and His absolute morality, and every thing else good that America stands for. Give me that good old communism, authoritarianism, humanism, atheism, and moral relativity every time. That way I can do whatever I want as long as it feels good.

Simple. Country is quite popular in Canada along with the stuff that's classified as -ahem- folk. Probably one or two well known country singers who have figured out how to do the twang and record down here. Remember Anne Murray? She's "country", according to Canadians, anyway.
