I'm curious if anyone finds the renaming of "The Dixie Chicks" to "The Chicks" amusing. If I were a woman, I would think that the name change would be offensive. I suggested that they rename themselves to "Las Polluelas". I believe that the translation alone would confuse most Americans and they could rebrand themselves as "Southern American".
Of more concern, and impacting me almost exactly as much, is this one:

I missed that announcement.

The name could have been 'Chicks R' Us', but that would have been mistaken for a Larry Flynt (founder of Hustler) commercial venture.
Bluegrass or 'rock' bluegrass isn't my music taste
The fact that their 'March march' piece was used as music background for a video presentation will get a music nomination if not in Grammy music awards, then definitely be nominated for an award from another music awards ceremony.
