I wouldn't have expected anything less from a band whose singer is the daughter of 
Lloyd Maines.

After being approached by TV's VH-1 about playing their video for "Wide Open
Spaces," the Chicks declined because they were asked to get rid of the
fiddles in the song. "You might as well just edit out the banjo and the
steel guitar and make it a whole new song," they reportedly told the
network.

Of course, to an extent I'm playing devil's advocate here (a bit of a
paradox for an atheist), but just imagine a response like, "You might 
as well just dump the lead singer and the Sam Cooke covers" a couple of
years ago.
