On the eve of the Iraq war, band member and lead singer Marilyn told fans at a concert in London that they were ashamed to be from Texas like Bush. In the next two or three years, the band was retaliated by American public opinion, followed by media slander and abuse. Their songs were banned, their records were boycotted, and their acting career almost ended. In this way, they fell victim to fanatical patriotism because of a joke against the Iraq war. However, at the 49th Grammy, Southern Chicks won five awards: best record of the year, best album of the year, best single of the year, best country band/group and best country album. The great victory of the "Southern Chicken" shows a great change in the attitude of the American public towards the Iraq war and even Bush himself.
