July 28th, 2003: Layne Staley announces his frustration with the mounting political tension in the United States and explains that Chains in Shackles will be mostly apolitical in nature. "Initially, I really felt passionate about backing all these ideas, but it's gotten old, ya know? I want to escape from it and sing about other stuff. I don't like Bush and nothing else I say is going to change this situation, so why should we bother to continue pushing this?"
 
September 16th, 2003: Dixie Dope, the sixth studio album by Nirvana, is released nationwide. Immediately, the album becomes a roaring critical and commercial success, with many claiming the album is even better then its successor Pickled Intuition. The album spawns five very hugely successful singles, including the title track "Dixie Dope", "The Horrifying Husb", "Redneck Resettler", "The Warlock Fight" and "Descension". It immediately sells out on its day of release and by November, it is certified Gold. However, conservatives accuse the band of lampooning their beliefs in the album and several abstain from buying it. Cobain's daughter Frances is credited for writing two of the album's songs; "Climbing Up the Cliff" and "Sad Hussy".
