Shut Up & Sing

I've been told many times to "shut up", but never was it followed by "& sing". It's almost as if people don't WANT to hear my singing voice...

So the other night Manda and I watched a 'political documentary' on our own free will! It was exceptionally intriguing and remarkably entertaining- for a documentary that is...

Ok, so truthfully if it had been any other documentary I would not have attend the showing, however, due to the subject matter I made an exception. Dixie Chicks rock my socks!
Shut Up & Sing was a documentary about the Dixie Chicks and all they went through after Natalie stated, while in London when Bush declared war, "I am ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas".
This remark, which had initially been said merely as a way to fire up the audience, was blown way out of proportion...

The 'inside story' to all these happenings was humourous and yet solemn at the same time. We were also briefed on the stories behind a number of the songs... Which I thoroughly enjoyed, for that is something that I often wonder when listening to songs: I wonder how they came up with that idea or I wonder if this actually happened to them
And in learning such stories, I didn't actually mind discovering that I was wrong in some of my intial assumptions of what the song was referring to...

In returning home, I turned Dixie Chicks on, and they stayed on until Friday came, for at that point I switched to Casting Crowns (I attended their concert Friday evening and it was amazing!)
