A pretty simple one.
And at the risk of petering,
Who was the “inspiration” (well, sort of) behind this Grammy winning song?


Answer:
George-W-Bush

During a concert in London in 2003 the lead singer issued a statement on behalf of the band saying that they’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas. This remark sparked intense criticism including a statement being issued by Bush himself. This song (and the album) was kind of a response to that saying that they stand by what they said and won’t apologize to him for it.

Oops, forgot to mention the name of the song or the band
The song is Not Ready To Make Nice by The Dixie Chicks
