The Dixie Chicks have indicated they want to sever ties with country music, after the backlash they suffered earlier this year. During an interview with German magazine Spiegel, group member Martie Maguire expressed how she and bandmates Natalie Maines and Emily Robison feel detached from the whole scene. She says, "We don't feel part of the country scene any longer, it can't be our home any more." Their main grievance is based on the lack of support shown to the trio during the backlash of Maines' comments against American president George W. Bush earlier this year. Maguire adds, "A few weeks ago, Merle Haggard said a couple of nice words about us, but that was it. The support we got came from others, like Bruce Springsteen." Maguire also points to the fact that country radio is still not playing the trio's music, and that country award shows have seemingly shut the door on them. She notes, "Instead, we won three Grammys against much stronger competition. So we now consider ourselves part of the big rock'n' roll family."
