The Dixie Chicks have apparently dropped the 'Dixie' from their name

Following Lady Antebellum’s name change to Lady A due to “associations that weigh down this word referring to the period of history before the Civil War, which includes slavery,” another famous country trio has apparently shortened its name for similar reasons. From now on, after more than 30 years, the Dixie Chicks will simply be known as the Chicks.

Not surprised at all. Natalie Maines has always been politically-driven and an activist especially.
However, the sad fact for me is that I had no idea they were even back together again as a band.

That's cool.
At least they got their name mentioned in the news.
Honestly, it wouldn't have mattered either way. They're so 90's and insignificant.
But good for them.

So now they are just “The Chicks.” That has to be offensive to some group out there I’m sure.

As a lover of country music, this one seems a little more awkward than the Lady A change. Lady A has been a shortened form by fans for awhile, so they change wasn’t that significant. The Dixie Chicks being called The Chicks just seems weird, and will take some getting used to. I do look forward to their new album, though. The country music genre has made a lot of changes over the years and expanded their fan base, so I think this will be a good time for them to re enter the music scene.

I have never been a fan nor cared about them but ok. Everyone has just got to get a little piece of the BLM pie to promote themselves

More disgraceful than the name is the fact that either is considered the be country music.
