Dixie Chicks 的歌最近在美國引起一陣騷動，
因為她們公然在音樂錄影帶中下毒殺夫，
不知道這首歌是不是就是上次她們在 Grammy 表演的同一首，
那個被殺的男主角還頗有名，
因為 Blue: NYPD （霹靂警探）連續拿了好幾屆艾美獎的最佳男主角獎，
歌名叫 "Goodbye Earl"，大家看到時可以注意一下。
Dixie Chicks' song stirs debate
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Dixie Chicks has some people steamed over its
new country single about two women who kill an abusive husband.
"Goodbye Earl" is stirring a debate over whether the record sheds
light on the problem of domestic violence or condones a murder by the
abused victim. In the song, the wife poisons her abusive husband's
black-eyed peas. Some radio programmers are airing the single less
frequently than might be expected of a new song from the popular
trio, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday. Lon Helton, country
music editor for Radio & Records, said about 20 of 149 country
stations that the trade newspaper tracks are still not playing it.
"My question is, what do we do a song about next: school shootings?"
remarked John Pellegrini, program director of York, Pa., station
WGTY-FM, which is not playing the record. Dixie Chicks manager Simon
Renshaw said Sony Nashville and Monument Records officials were
reluctant to release it as a single when the album came out, but
relented once the trio decided to sing it at the Grammys.
