Dixie Chicks: cancelled?
Were The Chicks (fka Dixie Chicks) the first internet cancellation? If so, who was behind it and how did the group survive it? For this episode of Broccoli Productions podcast Cancelled, I travelled back to 2003 when one anti-war comment turned country music's darlings into disgraced "Saddam Lovers". A curious lens through which to consider free speech, patriotism, the mechanics of a boycott and the consequences of dissent. And while you’re here, have you heard the one about Janet Jackson and the night America lost it over a nipple?
