The Dixie Chicks will respond to the recent boycott of their music after they made anti-Bush remarks in an interview with Diane Sawyer to be aired in the US on ABC tonight. In the pre-recorded interview frontwoman Natalie Maines will say that her onstage comments that she was "ashamed" of fellow Texan George W Bush was "an off-the-cuff statement". While she admits it was "disrespectful" she adds "Am I sorry that I asked questions and that I don't just follow [Bush's rationale behind the U.S. waging war on Iraq]? ... No I'm not."
