The Chicks

Her breakout hit, Boston, pulls from Noah Kahn's Stick Season.

And the song, Summer You Were Mine, pulls from There's Your Trouble by The Chicks.

And to be clear, everyone has writing credits.

The people for the original songs have writing credits on Stella Lefty's songs, but it's become an obsession on the internet that she's Stella Thefty, as people are calling her.

No one got that they were truck nuts.

The chicks are making a resurgence right now.

They're all over everything because I guess they're touring again.

I forgot how.

my God.

Not ready to make nice.

No, I like the chicks.

The 90s

So where's the lesson here? Well, some people are untouchable, but be honest with yourself, are you? And then let's look at people not reading the audience right.

The Chicks.

I think they were previously called the Dixie Chicks.

In March 2003 in London, nine days before the Iraq invasion, Natalie Mains told the crowd the band was ashamed that the president came from Texas.

Back home, Country Radio blacklisted them, including all 42 Cumulus Media country stations.

Your partners can pay too.

Sponsors, studios and labels have their own customers.

Lipton, for example, left the Chicks.

Sure.

Do you remember one time being in a bar? In Parma with your sisters singing about a song from the Dixie Chicks.

You know who the Dixie Chicks are?

Yeah.

We do karaoke all the time.

Se nota.

Eh, ellos un documental-- en este documental ella hablaba mucho de que a ella siempre se le hablaba de los Dixie Chicks.

Los Dixie Chicks eran una tipa de country que estaban superfamosas, hicieron uno-- hablaron y hicieron una opinión política que le fue supermal en un concierto y la carrera de ellos hizo pa abajo.

Entonces, sí, ella toda la vida se mantuvo al margen de todo esto y después tomó la decisión porque entendía que su voz y su poder de opinión valía la pena y ella que tenía que levantar su voz.

Yo respeto mucho cómo ha manejado siempre Taylor Swift los temas de política, porque ella ha sabido hacer un balance entre opinar demasiado.

So who would

that be? So the Chicks.

I would have grown up listening to the Chicks and Jodie Mazzina and Tom Waits and the Eagles.

So

who's your favourite? Glenn Frey or Don Henley? Who would be your favourite? The right answer is Don Henley, by the way.

If you're not being treated right, get up and leave.

Now, immediately after I finished reading this, I was like, cue the Dixie Chicks song, Gaslighter.

Have you guys heard that one where it's like, gaslighter.

I feel like she's singing that about Ethan Klein.

That is where I learned I was an introvert.

And I also went to a Dixie Chicks concert with Vicky.

So one of my favorite concerts ever.

Dixie Chicks are very good.

And while I would love to talk about the chicks and all the other things that we've done together, I really wanted, we wanted to have you on here to talk about children's books, children's reading.

I wanted to start by asking you what made you want to become a children's author, because I think a certain type of person takes that on.

But I, I always loved country music.

You know, I said Shania Twain was a big influence and Faith Hill and the Dixie Chicks and like all those women were, were such big influences.

And I, I started songwriting when I was 12, like just, you know, wasn't incredible at it.

But, and then when I was in high school, I made a Christian album of all songs that I wrote.
