MO & THE CHICKS
New York City
Patricia J. Williams's column regarding my comments on the Dixie Chicks during a CNN interview only told half the story ["Diary of a Mad Law Professor," May 26 and June 9]. In that same interview I pointed out--and you can check the tape--that the Chicks' last single, "Landslide," was an obscene "glorification of a natural disaster that kills millions, some say up to a billion every year." (And we wonder why the terror alert was recently raised.) Until the Chicks are stopped I can't afford not to speak out. As Tobias Keith once wrote, "Oh, Justice will be served and the battle will rage. This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage... 'Cuz we'll put a boot in your ass. It's the American Way."
