(2003-04-24) — Inspired by Bob Hope’s patriotism, the Dixie Chicks will join a USO tour of American military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan later this month.
The country music trio, famous for coming from the same state as U.S. President George Bush, will sing some of their chart-topping hits interspersed with Natalie Maines’ observations on politics, war and geopolitical strategy.
“The response to my recent comments about the President have been so overwhelming, I know the troops will appreciate hearing more,” said Natalie Maines. “My career has been built not so much on my singing talents, but on my insights into world events.”
The group says the USO tour will give them the chance to tell the troops in Iraq how much they support them while opposing the war.
