How did you make that jump?

I know who the Dixie Chicks are and I know about the backlash they faced. I'm old enoigh to remember and remember well.

Doesn't change the fact that they haven't been called the Dixie Chicks for 3 or 4 years now, they're just The Chicks now. Also doesn't change the fact that they're still making music and they just completed a 16 month tour last October.

Perhaps you should take your own advice and use the Google.
