Interview session with Nel Harrison and Krisha Saxon at Silver Ant Studios in Mpls, MN
Date :  Monday, April 3rd 2006

Phil : What brought about this Dixie Chicks parody?
Nel : What inspired the Dixie Chicks parody of  'Not Ready to Make Nice' was the fact that every day that I babysat my grandson and we go to Natkins site which is chicksrockchicksrule.com and we would play Dixie Chicks videos. Then the Chicks came out with this new video. There's no way I can watch it with my grandson - - it wouldn't be a fun thing for my grandson. They got the right to talk about their pain, yet we have the right to make a parody about it. So we started to make a parody. I wrote the lyrics and we got the vocals down. We started to practice, Krisha and myself. Aaron is producing, working on recording the drum tracks and everything else. So it will be a comedy parody with me doing the lead vocals.  As a comedian I can do that, I can't do it as a singer. Krisha could actually do it as a singer. She's doing the lead female role. So, that's the story behind what inspired the parody. The fact that I can't show their video to my grandson. Nor can I sing along with my grandson.

Phil : So, you  can't show their video to your grandson.
Nel : No, it's dark. They spent no money on it. So we figured why should we spend to much on our video. So we're going to shoot it - - every word means something. Every lyric and every phrase has something to do with the Chicks history. And, everything they've announced publicly over the last three years leading up to their new single and new album. I think Chicks fans will hate it. And, I think Country fans will love it, cause lets face it everyone likes to do it in the back of a Chevy truck. I think the country fans will like it. But, what it really is, it's not pro or con anything, it's just a whole ridicule of the country music scene and the Dixie Chicks. Doing it in a funny way.

Phil : What does Krisha want to say about the parody?
Krisha : Well, it's been good to break out of the box and be goofy with this song. It's a duet with Nel and I on vocals. I actually think the Chicks were great. They had that country edge that stood out. I like the parody, everything fits so well to the song with alot of meaning even as it's a big joke.

Phil : So we're here at Silver Ant Studios recording tracks for the parody song.
Nel : We're doing all the drums and bass lines here. I think there will be some tamborine and a french horn. Aaron is producing it with the Music Green House. He's bringing together the musicians.

Phil : Will you be performing the parody?
Nel : We will be getting out and performing it fairly regular along with what I think we will call 'The Border Control' which is the next parody. There will be more parodies for a Nel Harrison comedy album with ten songs all together. This is song one and the Chicks album doesn't come out until late May and they just started playing their video on VH1 today April 3rd.

Phil : So this parody album and video  project is a Nel Harrison production.
Nel : You can check out all my work on google video - - - visit the site and do a search for Nel Harrison at www.video.google.com I'm producing it, Aaron with Music Green House is doing the music side production and I'm doing the lyrics and performance production.

Phil : How many Brokeass Jokers are there?
Nel : Well, I created Brokeass Jokers in 2005. In 2004 I had the Standup Six comedy tour. I'll have a west coast tour from July 7th through Aug 11th, 2006. Hopefully before that we will have some of these parodies done. Get the album ready to go. We're looking to do the Vegas thing - - start doing performances with the parodies and put a whole show together. It will be a Brokeass Jokers production featuring Nel Harrison and Krisha. We'll be out there blasting out parodies.

Phil : Do you like the Dixie Chicks?
Nel : I've always loved them. I always thought they were a great band. It isn't a matter of being a fan or a non fan. It's just a matter of waiting for three years to hear the next work and the first thing they do is release an album that says they're pissed off at the world. Its so parody perfect. I could do rock but country is a natural parody - - - country is funny.
