When The Chicks perform the National Anthem tonight at the DNC, they’ll bring a complicated history

Musicians Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines and Emily Robison of the Chicks arrive at the David Lynch Foundation Gala Honoring Rick Rubin at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on February 27, 2014 in Beverly Hills, California.

The Chicks — formerly known as The Dixie Chicks — will sing “The Star Spangled Banner” at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night. That performance, and the group’s presence, will provide the latest chapter in The Chicks’ long and complicated political history.
