They also just updated their social media to be The Chicks - so they may have officially changed their name.

I get why Lady Antebellum would change their name and I support it, but if Dixie Chicks seriously change their name to The Chicks I won't be supporting them. And NOW Troll Twitter is offended by the name just being "The Chicks".

I don't love the new song but its miles better than "Julianna Never Listen To it Again".
The production is off on this one. The claps, bells, whistles...something isn't working.

Does Dixie have the same level of connotations as Antebelleum though? It's speaks to an era when slavery and white supremacy were the norm so completely understandable why it leaves such a bad taste for some. Idk if it's worth a name change 30 years later because it's not like the word became problematic overnight. However, I do think there's a collective eruption of consciousness that many people are having right now (especially white people) so I applaud them for being willing to make such a public antiracist gesture.

Let me give you some context - I grew up in the midwest during the mid-late 90s when DC were EVERYWHERE. I love them and always have. As a mixed race gay man, there has always this weird separation between their name and the music, what they represent. I remember a white kid in middle school questioning my love for them over their name. So this has been a longtime coming. It doesnβt represent who they are. It wonβt change the music. Itβs an iconic band doing what an iconic band should do - making their brand inclusive to ALL.

So is βno longer supporting themβ over a name change lmao Get over it and stop quoting me to try to start an argument. Then allow me! You don't get to police how people respond to your posts. Once you make something publicly viewable online, it is open to scrutiny. It is not "trying to start an argument," it is a discussion. You posted something and someone responded because they don't understand what you mean and wanted clarification. And now that your opinion has been challenged and you've realized you really don't have a coherent line of logic for your reasoning, you just want people to stop talking about it and quit responding to you? That's childish. Just own up the fact that you have no clue what you're talking about. There is zero reason to support Lady Antebellum changing their name, but not the Dixie Chicks, especially when both groups have changed their names for the exact same reason. Maybe the term "Dixie" doesn't mean the same thing to you as "Antebellum" does, but it's not about you now is it? It's not even about the bands. It's about a race of people that have been oppressed for hundreds of years with exclusive ties to the time periods both "Dixie" and "Antebellum" represent. And as another poster has already pointed out, the Dixie Chicks have always represented a more progressive stance in their music and message. "Dixie" just doesn't match their image at all. It never has. So the name change was long overdue for that simple fact alone. Is "The Chicks" a lame name? Maybe, but that's no reason to not support them anymore. Make it make sense!

Iβm learning so much this month about US history! Another term I didnβt know was problematic, but I read about it and get it now. I found this article useful for me to catch up with this issue. It makes perfect sense for them to change their name now. It wouldβve been MUCH better, however, for them to change it alongside their comeback a few months ago, but better late than ever variety.com/2020/music/news/dixie-chicks-change-name-1234689849/

I'm a little conflicted because I really didn't want the Chicks to step into the political arena again; however, March March video is fantastic and I realize that their voices are (still) so powerful and who the hell am I to say what I want from them. March March is a 2020 anthem we never saw coming.

Seems like track 4 is a cover (based on the credit). Canβt wait to hear their take on it cause the original is heartbreaking

I'm excited to hear this album. BUT I was VERY excited when I heard GASLIGHTER but the other two songs were underwhelming. Hopefully the rest of the album is stronger (like gaslighter)

I like the theatrical build up throughout the song. Itβs not much in their style the way Gaslighter is but itβs different. March March is different for them too. I think Gaslighter just burned on me quicker than I expected.

This happened to me as well. βGaslighterβ burned quite quickly where Iβm still listening to the other 2 frequently. βJulianaβ is the one that is stuck in my head the most.

So they're totally going there. No wonder Adrian was trying to bar some of this music... too bad (for him) he lost again.
