????《娛樂周刊》（2003年5月2日）

????對于反對伊戰(zhàn)的德州人來說，2003年3月可不是個好時候（美英聯(lián)軍于2003年3月20日發(fā)動伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭）。南方小雞組合的娜塔麗·麥恩斯在倫敦一場演唱會上向觀眾表示：“我們不想要這場戰(zhàn)爭，這種暴力，我們?yōu)槊绹偨y(tǒng)也是德克薩斯人而感到羞愧?！?/p>

????回到美國后，戰(zhàn)爭還有9天才開打，而且支持伊戰(zhàn)的輿論也很流行。由于麥恩斯在倫敦的聲明，有人甚至專門組織活動銷毀她們的CD。看來，這段日子對于反對伊戰(zhàn)的德州人來說，還真的不是個好時候。

????該組合通過2003年5月3日的《娛樂周刊》封面解決了這個問題。她們在這期封面中全裸出鏡，身上寫滿了人們對她們的一些最具創(chuàng)意的詆毀，比如“薩達(dá)姆的天使”和“德州蕩婦”等等。這期雜志共售出1,738,522份。

????Entertainment Weekly (May 2, 2003)

????March 2003 was not a great time to be a Texan opponent of the Iraq War. Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines found this out when she told a London audienceduring one of their concerts, "We don't want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."

????Back at home, the war was still nine days away and very popular, and Maines’ statement was greeted by the sound of their CDs being destroyed at events organized for that express purpose. Again, not a great time to be a Texan opponent of the Iraq War.

????The group addressed the situation on the cover of the May 3, 2003 issue of Entertainment Weekly, where they appeared naked and adorned with some of the more creative slurs that had been lobbed their way, such as "Saddam's Angels" and "Dixie Sluts." The issue sold 1,738,522 copies.
