Shut Up and Post

Posted on October 23, 2006

The Dixie Chicks have a new blog, Shut Up and Post, for their upcoming movie called Shut Up and Sing. The name of the blog and film come from the lyrics in the Dixie Chicks song, "Not Ready To Make Nice."

I made by bed, and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

Full lyrics can be found here. The Shut Up and Post blog is being advertised with interactive banner ads that allow people to automatically post on the blog. They are also taking videos on the movie's MySpace website. You can read more about the Dixie Chicks on Junichi P. Semitsu's All-Access blog. Semitsu has been traveling with the band for the past few months.
