The Dixie Chicks didn't mention "the incident" until halfway through their show at the Arena in Oakland.

"I guess you've all heard about the incident that occurred about four months ago," singer-guitarist Natalie Maines drawled to the cheering crowd while introducing Patty Griffin's "Truth No. 2," off the group's latest Grammy- winning album, "Home."
...
She was referring, of course, to the controversy after her remark that she was ashamed of fellow Texan George W. Bush because of his policy on Iraq. She had apologized for her bluntness, but many country stations nonetheless denounced Maines and banned the trio's music.

"We recorded this song before all that happened," she continued, ". . . and then we realized we understood every single word." Maines then launched into the song's prescient opening verse: "You don't like the sound of the truth/ Comin' from my mouth/ You say that I lack the proof/ Well baby that might be so/ I might get to the end of my line/ Find out everyone was lying/ I don't think that I'm afraid anymore/ Say that I would rather die trying."

Too cool.
