After what seems like months since I ordered the tickets the Dixie Chicks performed in Toronto. I was never a huge fan until America turned against them. I love the underdog that stands strong. And that is what they did. Before the show my friend Ryan and I discussed what the show might be like. We wondered if it would be political or if they would pull out all stops and put on a show that left those so ignorant that they would someday regret they missed it. America misses it. In everything they do.
They did neither. The show was about the music. It seemed to me to be more of a statement that they don't have to prove anything. The stage was simple, the music excellent, the songs powerful, the songs fun. It was about the music. When they performed I'm Not Ready To Make Nice, there was a collective energy of support that filled the building. It was not just a song. There was a power in it. In the crowd. The show was amazing. The show was fun....sometimes you just got to get up and dance.
Speaking of proving, a simple statement was made to me after the show when I stopped in at Wish for a birthday party. A sexy, good looking guy whispered in my ear that he always used to look for proof. And now he no longer does. I guess it really wasn't a simple statement. I too have always looked for proof. I get how exhausting that can be.
Carry on.
