Dixie Chicks - Now what?

The Dixie Chicks rubbed it in the face of Music City with their Grammy wins on Sunday night. The one-time country radio darlings did not accept the awards very graciously, and despite being recognized by the prestigious Grammy committee, they are no closer to getting back on country radio.

It's too bad because the country music industry could really use the Dixie Chicks to fill the void of female voices singing their songs. However, Natalie Maines was taunting the industry when she received the trophy for Country Album is that's not going to bridge any gaps between the two sides.

The Chicks might think their lives are fine without country radio's support, but there will always be the question of what could have been when it comes to their career. Grammy Awards are nice, but there's no doubt their fan base has shrunk substantionally in the last 5 years, and it doesn't look like its going to be growing anytime soon.
