Not Ready to Make Nice (Dixie Chicks) – 2006

This song, “Not Ready to Make Nice,” finds the Dixie Chicks standing up for themselves and refusing to back down from statements they made about President George W. Bush because of the war declared on Iraq. They wrote the song after being sidelined by radio stations and receiving death threats.

It was at a 2003 London concert that Dixie Chicks’ vocalist Natalie Maines made the controversial comment that she was ashamed that the President of the United States came from Texas. They had no idea they’d be treated so badly, and the song was written to show they won’t forget even if they forgive the attacks later on.
