LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Dixie Chicks completed a defiant comeback on Sunday night, winning five Grammy awards after being shunned by the country music establishment over their anti-Bush comments leading up to the Iraq war.
The Texas trio won record and song of the year for the no-regrets anthem "Not Ready to Make Nice." They also won best country album — especially ironic, considering that the group has said they don't consider themselves country artists anymore.
Two other comebacks were also richly rewarded. Mary J. Blige received three trophies for her double-platinum "The Breakthrough," and the Red Hot Chili Peppers also won three for their double disc, "Stadium Arcadium."
