Oh please! Yeah yeah, so she's pissed off. That does not make this
video or song punk. It's so wrapped in proper production clothes for
marketing to the mass public's appetite for mediocrity, it's
digusting!!
It might have been punk if at the end, she wiped all her carefully
applied makeup off, stripped off her clothes and screamed "FUCK YOU!"
and walked off the set!
Now THAT'D have been punk! ;-)

Modern 'punks' can't even seem to manage 'pissed off' in their vids.
Many of them struggle to get past 'melancholy'...

It's not working at the moment - but I'm guessing it's the answer song
to the recent 'criticism of Bush' controversy, right?
At the time I failed to see (and still fail to see) what all the fuss
was about. So, the DCs said that Bush's actions made them ashamed to
be American and that he did not represent their views in any way (or
words to that effect) - is that such a big deal in the US? I say that
kind of thing (and worse) about the lying, cheating war criminal Blair
on an almost daily basis. I didn't vote for him, I do not endorse his
views and policies in any way, shape or form - so why should I give
him my support, be it overt or tacit?

Isn't that kinda the definition of Emo?

Rhetorical questions, of course - I've seen enough emotard MySpace

The mainstream country music listeners are overwhelmingly, well, kinda
like the opposite of what I am. The DCs were just starting to get
airplay again on some of the country stations, then they come out with
that song, which will make sure they're permanently banned.

She didn't say "ashamed to be American." She said, ashamed that Bush
came from her state (Texas).

Heh. That's kinda like being fired from your job for punching your
boss because you wanted to get fired...

I wouldn't want to be associated with the 'squeal piggy' guy and the
banjo gimp either.

I think it was more (or most) controversial to the country audience, who
tends to be more conservative generally. Most people I know were kind
of bemused by the whole thing. I mean, think about it, we're talking
about an audience that didn't care when they wrote a song about an
abused woman killing her husband, but the minute they opened their
mouths about Bush they committed high treason (in the minds of country
fans).
Although, conservative or liberal, Americans tend to be suspicious of
actors and rock stars who talk about politics. There's a general
assumption that they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

The former is 'just talkin' bout their roots and what's goin' on' -
yaknow, hard-hitting observational stuff. The latter is communism.

As far as I'm concerned, it depends on who said it, what context it's
said in and how it relates to the life of the individual concerned
(i.e. whether they practice what they preach)...

I hated the Dixie Chicks. I liked them a little better when they made
the Bush comments, but i still could have cared less about them. Then
they went on Howard Stern, and talked about which one gives the best
blowjobs, which likes threesomes, and which never wears panties (the
short one). I'll still never listen to them, but i was glad they won
all the grammys. They go!

Well 75% of the rest of the coverage about them is focused on who's
doing drugs, who's going on a drinking binge, who's gained weight, who's
learning to surf, who's fucking who, etc etc. You know. Really hard
hitting stuff. It's hard to switch from "Britney's favorite vegetable
is apples" to "Britney's talking intelligently about the war. Let's all
listen to her."

I think I'd be more inclined to take Britney's political views
seriously if some of her songs were sociopolitical (yaknow, taking the
opportunity when up there onstage to tell it like it is and put the
world to rights) and she showed some evidence of personal creativity,
as opposed to being just another record industry mouthpiece with a
computerized voice.
Heh, like that would ever happen in a gazillion years... ;)
Is there even such a thing as 'political dance pop'?

I think the closest would be later Chumbawamba, then there's Consolidated
and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, but the latter 2 are hip-hop, I
suppose. I've heard some cool political techno, if that counts.

I find it hard to listen to music created solely/mainly by computers.
Just doesn't do anything for me at all.
