Tom Power is AWESOME with his guests. What I also like is that he asks each of the Chicks questions rather than let it be a free for all for who should answer. Gaslighter is AMAZING.
Yeah
I initially opened this interview only because it featured The Chicks. However, as the interview went on, I was more and more engaged. So well done. It is part interview and part conversation. The interviewer asks questions without expecting a stock answer. He gets what the artists offer. This is a band that I feel leads instead of follows. I probably view this through the lens of confirmation bias - I want to believe the best about The Chicks. But as I watch what these women do, I realize, it doesn't matter if I or anyone else supports their work or not; they will continue to change the world for the better. God bless them.
It doesn’t matter what their name is it doesn’t change how talented and amazing they are 🙌🏻
yes it does,they are dumb libs
Midnight Rambler ummm ok 🤣

Not Ready to Make Nice !
Yes, thank you strong women with brains, character and steadfastness, greetings from Germany
Chicks = ready ready to fly into the wide open spaces again! So incredibly talented, with such grace in their strength. You are loved and supported, Ladies. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
great group interview. masterfully done Tom Power. The Chicks are awesome every which way. Great musicianship.
Great interview!!! Thank you
Really good interview, as always, Tom Power.
i love them no matter what their name is!
Great interview as usual, Tom.
Excellent interview with a very thoughtful interviewer.
Great interview. So happy they’re back. The new album is incredible!!! 🎼🔥💕❤️
Their albums used to sound like they were made by actual people playing and singing. Sadly, the new album sounds like pretty much all the other studio-crafted rubbish that's out today. Between the production and the song quality, it could be a Taylor Swift album. Even Natalie's singing has lost its individuality.
Yesss
@@fretbuzz59 nooo
Great interview 👍🏽
I am enjoying this interview.
Really glad that the girls reached out to The 'og' Chicks, from here in NZ. I knew them to be big down South Hem from the 60's i think. They were a sister duo & i'm more familiar with one of their sons' rock band(s), but did think of them when The 'new' Chicks changed their name. But that was gracious, no matter if it had connotations of just not wanting to end up like the Lady A debacle (i'm defo on the side of the og Lady A woman fyi) OR not, it was the decent thing to do, & us kiwi's appreciate respect over a needless drama. The (now elder) kiwi Chicks were awesome in their reply & i hope they do all meet one day. They deserve some good VIP seats & a meet-n-greet methinks :-) & i hope we ALL get to see The Chicks in NZ in the future. LOVE Gaslighter album :-)
I’m just now seeing this interview. Before this I was trying to watch interviews that Lisa Marie had to suffer thru. I wish he could’ve interviewed her. I feel like he would’ve have seen and her music for.. her. This is such a good interview.
Tom Power is so perceptive and aware. Thanks for your “nerdy overthinking “.
Just another note: NOT READY TO MAKE NICE Just shows you how something blown bad turns into something so, wait I can't use good here it's not enough.(GRAMMY GRAMMY GRAMMY) . What a song,Voice,Voices, Instrumentation. Yeah I will say it DAMN GOOD.
I really wish interviewers would totally retire the questions about "the incident". They must be so sick of hearing it and they must have explained it thousands of times now. Other than that this is a very good interview.
I love you ladies ❤❤ you are so amazing...
Yeah
My daughter's name is Dixie and I will NEVER BE ASHAMED OR BACK DOWN FROM THE NAME OR WHAT THE HISTORY WAS ON dixie!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on Y'ALL... Beyoncé has a song named "Black Parade" and I love that song.. and let her stand for what EVER history she wants to relate to! Or sing about! Stop ✋️ trying to please people and be proud of who we ALL are! 💯😭
The interviewer is so good!
incredible interview, Tom.
I love the Chicks...them and the Beatles are my favourite bands.
Their (Chicks) Souls are Pure soul as their minds..
Great interview! Welcome back ladies!
You 3. Whatever makes you happy. You all ways sound great.
I have a ton of respect for these wemen!!
Great interview .... The Ladies always rock....these are the people who will Make America Great Again!....
crap music from dumb libs
@@MidnightRambler Because you're so clever?
I wish he asked more about the new album..
I didn't judge TDC's for their political views. I just liked and still do like them and their music.
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS LOVED THE DIXIE CHICKS!!!
So virtuous
Excellent move!
Love the Chicks Forever!!!💖
he calls em bys at the end. eh by. this newfoundlander gets it. did they? hah
A GREAT band.🌻🕊🌻
Natalie really doesn't want to be in country music. I can see the Taylor comparison however they both are still country af. The sounds haven't changed enough in my opinion. I love all music! I will listen to George straight then flip to 2pac, favorite artist is Alanis. So I don't care what genre they pick I will still listen.
Loveuidol
These girls are amazing stars
I never knew they did
I am embarrassed and somewhat confuses in that as much as I like the music of The Chicks, I like their personalities and convictions even more.
It "ruins" the entertainment value of the music when it becomes so inspirational.
/s
Bless and thank yu'al.
It's just a name...i wouldn't have dropped it...people need to grow up
Looks like time has stood still for the sisters. Looking at Natalie is the only way to know they've aged somewhat..
So sad, I love the name The Dixie Chicks but no matter what the name you will always be the same great talent
I disagree in changing the name due to offending people or people not knowing the real meaning of something. If people are offended by something oh well. Dixie is not a bad word. I will always use it. People need to toughen up. Like the old saying goes. The constitution doesnt care about your feelings. If it did we wouldn't be a country. The South is the greatest part of the united States. Very nice folks there and great food and music.
@@terrysgamingzone1390 agreed! There’s so much virtual signaling going on anymore I’m sick of it. Big turn off. Wondering if people really were offended b /c of Dixie... our more offended for their hate of their own country. They didn’t care about how i felt about that, but I’m supposed to feel bad over Dixie? I love their “old” music... but their “being kind “ to their own country was offputting.
@@terrysgamingzone1390 Happiness is a feeling. The constitution literally cares about your feelings. Being offended that other people are offended is such circular reasoning. You clearly don’t understand the issue and it might require more research on your part.
Don't like The Chicks. How about the Pixie Chicks. Your name does not dictate how good you are. I liked The Dixie Chicks and hated Bush too. Spoiler alert, London wasn't crazy about him either, We live in the internet now and the world actually comes together more than a part because of it. LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU ALL no matter what name you use. I blame the media, without them no one would know or care. The CHICKS are not politicians , Doesn't mean I would not vote for them.
Nothing wrong with the word Dixie.
im from new zealand .... dont know who the f the chicks from new zealand are .
So is there a Mason Dixon line? Maybe the new name should be the Chicken S#@(ts?
Don’t believe a word out of Natalie’s mouth.
WHAT was wrong with the Dixie part?

Chicks is offensive.
Oh they’ll change it in 10 years to fix it. They are cowards
I think folks ought to worry more about where they will spend eternity and less about being shoulder chippers. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
Sorry but is not small country music is big on all in canada... more respect more open about all 'gere' 'music and about music the chicks never destroy cd or disc or stop buy the disc and the chicks the first come back is in the canada 2014 and give more energy for come back in canada play live ... many artits give a chance play music & give sucess on all .. Alice Cooper.... Supertramp...Babe Ruth ...Styx ...Deep Purple...Kiss ...Lady Gaga ...Celine Dion...The doors ....Queen...Pink Floyd . And Shania Twain mix rock & country 😊👍
God bless the Dixie chicks and Chicken s.
So it was ok for 20 years but now its not?
You were right, imo, to criticize Bush; Were you as critical when Obama sent the army to the different countries for the very wrong reasons
Chj
This interviewer seems scared to death, very odd person.
Proving once again why Tom Power is the worst interviewer ever. He's worse on video than the radio only because I can see the inane arm and hand movements. 2003 was nearly 20 years ago.Asking about the "incident" was asking about ancient history and a question they have answered 10 million times.
That’s crap drop in Dixie
🤓😃
Tom must not listen to bluegrass and has been misinformed about women not having a strong presence. The evidence he cites is that not many female players have won national championship contests. That's a whole different issue. In any genre other than classical, females don't tend to be obsessed and non-social enough to become player-gods.
Sounds like the dixie chicks are not grafteful for thier Southern Rooots
if they are ashamed of their history why don't they stop with country music ???
Really? Dixie is not the equivalent of racism. Such propaganda
Skipped economy test... Wao Natalie...
All those divorces have added up
They went Hollywood woke , bottom line. They knew what Dixie ment all those years ago
All political 🙄 too many butt hurting people, keep your bands name the same, hell about peoples feelings. Never once growing up to your music did I ever think the name of your band was offensive 🤔 All political 😔
You might feel like your supporting BLM, but you've spit in the face of southerners. Southerners do NOT =racist. You may not have meant to come off that way or you might not care less who you hurt and offend. However - it's wrong, and beyond bias not changing the name - people grow however attributing the hatefulness to "Dixie"
The chick children
I love these girls, yet it's so disappointing they pussied out and dropped Dixie from their name to appease the SJW's fear-mongering and negative spin on their band name, rather than focusing on the positive example and image they have garnered through hard work and good music that comes from Southern ladies. It's too bad they wimped out. It really downgrades the bravery they've shown in other ways being true to their convictions about other things. It's never positive to sell out and give in and capitulate to bogus negative pressures that have no merit. IN ALL social political issues, you have to look seriously at intent. There was never and would never be intentional offense or hurt intended in using the name The Dixie Chicks. They shouldn't have pussied out. They capitulated. How disappointing.
they spent yrs. building their brand Dixie Chicks, why tamper with success?
Always loved them ! If the NEW NAME also changes your music to new country music I’m out ! I could listen to the “Dixie Chicks “ ALL day long !! You made a NAME for yourselves by the music you made !! If you change your style it’s YOUR GAMBLE! WISH YOU WOULD STAY TRUE TO YOUR PAST!!!
Don’t Taylor Swift out !!
Nothing wrong with the word Dixie. It represents the south.
Patriotic?? Yeah right! Try Benedict Arnold Chicks. Please!
Virtue signaling chics
These ladies are amazing performers.
Natalie sure pushed the entire band off the rails ...
She is the one to blame for the entire problem the band has had. . ....
this is a flippin Joke This Band is Dead as a door nail
Not really. They had a full tour in 2017 before the pandemic.
Y would say this?
No need for this name change. The Dixie chicks used to be about taking a stand against mainstream b******* not siding with it.
Maybe they wanted to change it and they weren’t pressured? Natalie said that they’d wanted to change it for ages but now was the right time
Now the change? Hmmmmm? Seems convenient, and sad.
@Elhammo Aye, DXC, they considered using the initials of their forenames, and so on.
@Elhammo There is a point to my cynicism. It makes feel better about all the art I'm not putting out there, and opening myself up to a judgment. Duh!
To further reduce their appeal.
Great music but sadly wokesters.
Because they have no backbone?
Going onstage in Dallas (against FBI advice), in spite of a serious death threat, demonstrates more backbone than posting anonymously on youtube does.
You big, bad sausage, you!
Because they are smart and mature and living in the 21st century!!
Who doesn't?
