When I saw Jim Adams picked cool/freeze/heat/melt for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday theme, I had every intention of sharing “Cool Fool,” a Cars anomaly co-written by Ric Ocasek and Elliot Easton.
Then a stunning video scrolled onto my Facebook feed. “March March” is one-half of a double-whammy, released June 25, the same day the Dixie Chicks dropped “dixie” and became The Chicks. A protest song from their current “Gaslighter” album, “March March” hits today’s hot button issues — gun control, global warming, women’s rights, lies masquerading as truth, and racism. The last minute is a gut punch that stopped me cold. Read the lyrics here later. Give the video your full attention. “’If your voice held no power, they wouldn’t try to silence you.’ – unknown. Use your VOICE. Use your VOTE.”

Judi, I never knew that they dropped the Dixie. Nice music and a great video.

It was just last Thursday. I think I heard about yesterday or maybe today.

Glad you liked the video; I hope it was OK to not follow the theme.

That is fine as I think more people did their own thing this weekend than ever before.

It’s been years since I listened to “The Chicks” and I know they’re not shy about using their music to send a message, but this… and the lyrics leave me absolutely speechless. And I agree, the last minute is a gut punch…and heartbreaking.
Powerful share, my friend!

The Chicks (formerly Dixie Chicks) have never shied away from hot topics, and they’re not about to start. Stop by Judi’s to see their powerful video!
