CELEBRIS REPORT
MATT SAYLES I Associated Press
The Dixie Chicks, Emily Robison, left, Natalie Maines, center, and Martie Maguire arrive for
the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, Feb. 11,2007, in Los Angeles.
Hie Dixie Chicks change
their name to The Chicks
Grammy-winning country group The
Dixie Chicks have dropped the word Dixie
from their name, now going by The Chicks.
The band’s social media accounts and
website were changed on Thursday to the
refer to the new name for the band, which is
made up of Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines
and Emily Strayer. The band also recog
nized that the name was already in use by a
band in New Zealand.
“A sincere and heartfelt thank you goes
out to ‘The Chicks’ of NZ for their gracious
gesture in allowing us to share their name.
We are honored to co-exist together in the
world with these exceptionally talented sis
ters,” the band said in a statement.
The move follows a decision by country
group Lady Antebellum to change to Lady A
after acknowledging the word’s association
to slavery. A statement on The Chicks’ web
site said “We want to meet this moment.”
The term Dixie refers to Southern U.S.
states, especially those that belonged to the
Confederacy.
The Chicks, who are releasing their first
new album in 14 years next month, also
released a new video for their new song,
“March March” that features videos and
images from the recent Black Lives Matter
rallies.
The Chicks are the best selling female
group in America with more than 33 million
albums sold in the United States, accord
ing to the Recording Industry Association
of America. Formed originally in Texas as
a bluegrass group, the band hit commer
cial fame with their breakthrough album
“Wide Open Spaces.” The band has won 13
Grammys.
The band was shunned by country radio
over an incident in 2003 when lead singer
Maines criticized then-President George
W. Bush because of the Iraq War. They
responded to the backlash with their song
“Not Ready to Make Nice,” and swept the
Grammys in 2007 winning three of the top
all-genre categories.

ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES
The public has a right to know, and The
Times is dedicated to that principle and the
“continued enlightenment and freedom of
the people of North Georgia,” as engraved
outside our building.
The pursuit of truth is a fundamental
principle of journalism. But the truth is not
always apparent or known immediately.
A professional journalist’s role is to
report as completely and impartially
as possible verifiable facts so readers
can, based on their own knowledge and
experience, determine what they believe
to be the truth. That is often an ongoing
pursuit as journalists work to uncover
stories and follow those stories wherever
they lead, regardless of preconceived
ideas.
The news they report is separate from
the opinions shared in the pages of The
Times, which include those by its editorial
board, columnists, political cartoonists
and readers who submit letters to the
editor.
The presentation of both news and
opinions is designed to educate, entertain
and foster community conversation.
Readers are encouraged to challenge and
sharpen their perceptions based on that
presentation.
And we encourage readers to do the
same for us, offering news tips, criticisms
and questions.

Mom suffers from mean
case of America 2020
Hi, Carolyn:
I am usually the one the family turns
to, the mom with the right words to guide
through life’s messes.
Well, now Mom is the one who is lost.
I know I am depressed by weeks of having
no privacy, with my family work
ing from home. I also know I am
so blessed and should be able to
weather this storm.
I am in a marriage with no
physical intimacy, because my
hubby was emotionally abused as
a child. This is an issue he is not
going to resolve and that I made
peace with years ago. He gives
what he can, but I need much
more at this stage.
I have developed an attraction to someone
I will never meet and know would not be
interested in me if we ever did. I struggle
with feelings of inadequacy, since I cannot
volunteer or even protest because of health
issues. I waver between wanting to kick
myself into gear and sleep through the day.
How do I hang in there, knowing life
will eventually return to some form of
normalcy?
— Lost Mom
I’m sorry, Mama. And I’m grateful you
asked, because I suspect the general outline
of this problem is a common one. You’ve
always seen yourself as X, but that doesn’t fit
anymore. You crave Y, but your emotional
contract says, “No Y.” You think Z might
help, but the reason you need Z also makes Z
impossible.
Welcome to America 2020.
I almost forgot: The moment you think
you have it bad, you look around you and see
worse, adding guilt to your bad-feelings pile.
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
Let’s start there: You can be “blessed” and
still suffer. Don’t give in to binary thinking,
that if you’re fortunate then you’re wrong to
feel bad about anything. If it helps to remind
you — but if it isn’t helping, then stop.
You feel bad? Need help? Then say, to
yourself first, “I feel bad and need
help.” It’s not a failure to be less
resilient than you “should” be.
In fact: Admitting they need
help, even tacitly, is what your
family does in turning to you,
so you’d only be living by your
own example. Give yourself that
much, at least.
Next, break open your binary
thinking on other fronts. Being
strong doesn’t mean you can’t
need help. Being married doesn’t mean
you’re a bad person for feeling outside
attractions. Someone else isn’t the only
answer to physical or emotional loneliness.
Being at peace doesn’t mean doubts will
never resurface. Being physically limited
doesn’t mean you’re inadequate.
Most important in a practical sense, “into
gear” and “asleep all day” aren’t your only
two choices.
The value in breaking out of your typical
role and thought patterns is to open yourself
to new, small steps toward healing:
Ask others for help. Tell your husband
you’re lonely. Treat that attraction as
a cue to seek more pleasure, just non-
adulterously. Something tactile, maybe
— a pet, a craft — or physical, like dance
or yoga. Support your causes from home.
And, of course, call your doctor about the
depression.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Of
all the things you could wish
for, an easy route won’t be one
of them. It wouldn’t be wrong
so much as just off-brand.
You welcome the opportunity
to get stronger and smarter
through challenging work.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
You’re not afraid to answer
the call of duty and, in fact,
the best things you’ve ex
perienced have happened
because you both answered
and went above and beyond
such a call.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The
social aspects of life will be the
highlight, even if they are hap
pening virtually. Your soul will
be satisfied by what you share
and learn, especially when you
are connecting with people
you don’t yet know well.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Let
no one, not even you, offer a
limiting idea of what you’re ca
pable of. You don’t know what
you can accomplish until you
accomplish it. Your tenacity
knows no bounds.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ignoring
a thing on purpose can be an
effective tactic. Neglect can be
a useful state when applied to
unwanted things. Some prob
lems fade from neglect; others
resolve themselves.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
have paid your dues and done
your time. You showed up how
they wanted, so you know
what that’s like. Now, you’re
inclined to do it your own way,
to show up how you see fit. It
works.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Stay
aware, head on a swivel, as
you make your way to the
crossroads. Transitions are
always a little more dangerous.
The intersections of life hold
potential for much good and
bad fortune.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As
the bees get nectar, they acci
dentally spread pollen. Do they
know they are the reason the
flowers bloom? Like the bees,
you will unknowingly cause
beauty just by doing what
comes naturally.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ll apply your talent
rather mindlessly, floating
above yourself in many ways.
And when you come back
down to earth, you’ll find that
you and your muses have
co-created something remark
able.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You’ve already done the
“dance like no one is watch
ing” thing and now you’re into
the refinement of movement
assumed by consummate
professionals. Because if all
goes well, someone will be
watching.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The thing you didn’t think you
had time for will now be taking
up many hours of your day.
But if it weren’t good for your
personal development, you
wouldn’t feel so compelled to
manage it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your name comes with asso
ciations. Some of these asso
ciations (like promptness, hon
esty, kindness) you have and
will continue to cultivate rather
purposefully by maintaining a
high standard of character.
