What could most rankle American rock audiences is the Chicks' rejection of the notions that 1) good rock music is either soulful, finely wrought craftsmanship (Radiohead) or cathartic guitar bombast (Nirvana) and 2) letting producers help compose your songs is only for teenyboppers like Britney Spears.

The organizers have billed it as one of the largest concerts in history, with five stages, more than 150 acts scheduled and more than one million attendees expected. One report boasted that the megaconcert...
