On a side note, wonder how this going to affect Winn-Dixie or Dixie cups? Will the Dixie Chicks be removed from music history....one can only hope Wink

Dolly Parton drops 'Dixie' from name of Stampede dinner shows, citing cultural concerns


Country singer Dolly Parton has discarded “Dixie” from the name of a popular dinner show, “Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede,” due to cultural concerns.

From now on, the attraction will simply be known as Dolly Parton’s Stampede.

Parton said in a statement that the name change was spurred by changing attitudes and “will remove any confusion or concerns about our shows” as the company that operates the attraction expands into new markets.

World Choice Investments LLC currently operates the Stampede dinner show for Parton in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and Branson, Mo.

World Choice spokesman Pete Owens said Parton is referring to shifting attitudes about the word “Dixie” and its connotations.

“It has added to confusion in discussions about the expansion of our dinner theaters to new locations across the country and around the world,” Owens said in a statement.

“Some of our guest comments and comments of developers, in markets around the country with whom we spoke, show a misconception of what our show is. They do not realize the Stampede is a very patriotic, spectacular, horse show with 32 beautiful horses as the stars.”

Many fans were not pleased with the removal of “Dixie,” and complained via Twitter.

Parton has previously stated that she considers herself an entertainer, and doesn’t like to get involved with politics.

At last year’s Emmys, Parton was joined onstage by Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda to present an award. Tomlin and Fonda took the opportunity to criticize President Donald Trump, but Parton did not join in.

Are they changing the name of the song to "I wish I were in Dolly Parton"?

You know, I've been wondering about Dixie Hwy now for some time. It goes for some ways up the coast, anybody's guess what they would call it in the future?

Reminded me of a joke a friend told me back when I was in the 5th grade.

"What's on top of Dolly Parton's tits?"

"Mountain dew!"

Dixie Chicks are safe...they are down with the liberal struggle. Unless they delve in to liberal self loathing - which really wouldn't matter because no one cares about them anyway.

I've been wondering when the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" would be repudiated. No less an icon of the left than Joan Baez has recorded this one.

I liked the Movie The Long Riders and really enjoyed the scene where a band was forced to play "I Am a Good Old Rebel". That will have to be sanitized out of the movie, no doubt.

We just went to her DIXIE stampede last month. Sad to see her trying to stay politically correct and I can tell you most of the people there are not happy with this news.

That said, it was a pretty decent show.

Won't she be kind of slapping her major demographic right across the kisser with this move?

Hell, I'm a Yank (tho with honest-to-God Dixie bona fides), and even I find this offensive.

Ridiculous, stupid and absolutely unnecessary. Cowardly, pandering nonsense.
