JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Within hours of TMZ reporting that Winn-Dixie was considering changing the name its used for more than 100 years, a spokesman for Jacksonville-based Southeastern Grocers said there are no immediate plans to do that. TMZ reported that sources at Winn-Dixie said the chain is considering the name change because, just like The Chicks, it deems the term Dixie as problematic due to ties to the old south and its way of thinking.But Southeastern Grocers spokesman Joe Caldwell emailed a comment late June 25: While we have no immediate plans to rename this banner, we have always been and will continue to be responsive to the needs and concerns expressed by the communities we serve.Not only did The Dixie Chicks drop Dixie from its name, Lady Antebellum dropped Antebellum, Confederate statues and monuments are coming down in Jacksonville and across the country, and governments and school districts are considering changing the name of buildings amid continuing calls for racial justice most recently sparked by the death of George Floyd while in the custody of the Minneapolis police. Caldwells email went on to say: At Southeastern Grocers were committed to cultivating an inclusive culture and community that promotes belonging, inclusion and diversity. As such, we stand against racism and support the Black Lives Matter movement across our country.The manager of corporate communications email continued: Our Winn-Dixie banner has proudly served our communities for nearly 100 years, however, many things have changed during that time. While we have no immediate plans to rename this banner, we have always been and will continue to be responsive to the needs and concerns expressed by the communities we serve.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Grammy-winning country group The Dixie Chicks have dropped the word dixie from their name, now going by The Chicks. 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 sisters, the band said in a statement. The move follows a decision by country group Lady Antebellum to change to Lady A after acknowledging the words association to slavery. Lady A received criticism with their name switch after a Black singer revealed shed been performing as Lady A for years.

If you look up the definition of “gaslight” in the dictionary, it will tell you “to cause a person to doubt his or her sanity through the use of psychological manipulation,” and that’s what the Dixie Chicks’ new song, “Gaslighter," is exactly about. It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 14 years since we’ve been blessed with a new album from these country queens, and it seems like they’re picking up right where they left off after the success of their hit song “Not Ready To Make Nice.”The Dixie Chicks have never been afraid to say what they think. Who can forget when they made those comments about President George W. Bush? The Dixie Chicks don’t hold anything back, and Maines has never sounded better ripping through the verses of the song. The album “Gaslighter” officially drops May 1, and until then, you can play the song “Gaslighter” over and over and over again.
