What Parents Need to Know
About Taking the Long Way
Parents need to know that there is one instance of "ass-kissing" in the lyrics as well as one or two uses of "hell" and "damn." The Dixie Chicks are not afraid to discuss their politics; not all families will be comfortable with their liberal views. Non-Christian listeners may notice a subtle assumption of universal Christianity.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about "Not Ready to Make Nice," an apparent response to the reaction the Chicks got after criticizing the Bush administration a couple of years ago. Should entertainers talk about politics, or should they stick to entertaining? Do you think Natalie Maines should have apologized for her comments or not?

great music, with a good message!
I think that this album has great music. The Dixie Chicks are good role modles, and have really good music to listen to! This music is not inapropriate, and has a good message.

the name of the album speaks out for itself and them
Everyone has there opinions on every type of musicians,actors, etc..., this i have to say "They came out of the gate running",since the toby keith issue and other freedom of speech issues the way i look at it-Keep and Open Mind oAnd Don't be Afraid to say whats on your Mind
