London - The Dixie Chicks say they don't want to be a country music band any more.

Violinist Martie Maguire told Spiegel magazine: "We don't feel part of the country scene any longer, it can't be our home any more."

She said she was disappointed other country singers didn't back up the Dixie Chicks in their criticism of George W Bush's politics on Iraq.

"A few weeks ago, Merle Haggard said a couple of nice words about us, but that was it," Maguire complained.

"The support we got came from others, like Bruce Springsteen."

Going home empty-handed from the Country Awards ceremony also made them decide to break with the scene, Maguire said.

"Instead, we won three Grammys against much stronger competition."

"So we now consider ourselves part of the big rock 'n' roll family."

Do any Rock 'n' Roll fans really want them? Does anyone really care that they want to switch to RnR?

As sure as I am that this is the best cigar BB available, I am equally sure that I don't want them, nor do I care that they want to switch. IMHO of course.

Do you care?

I would like to here them say

"After the lack of support we have gotten from others in the industry, we have decided to STFU!!!!"

Rock and Roll? Well at least one of them seems to be drunk and fat enough for it. Ladies, it's been real and it's been fun, but it ain't been real fun... exit stage left double time please!

their music, and most other top 40 country, already sounds like real weak rock and roll with a fiddle in the mix to me. <shrugs nonchalantly>

They'll fit in just fine with the rest of the bubblegum rock and rollers.
