There would be backlash if she made that kind of comment about rap but not for smearing "ignorant barefoot and pregnant hillbillies".
And not an original thought in sight.
Nothing new. I read some of the hardcore fan sites. They have about 300+ memmbers to them and not all are fans... anyway, this article isnt going over well with the diehards. ROFLMAO~ Of course you have the mindless minions who would buy their toenail clippings if they could, but its looking pretty dismal for the chicks! I LOVE IT!
I like what you're saying. Of course, as N pointed out, they are financially "set" so they're just doing their thing to please themselves.
I hear Chavez is a big fan.
The problem wasn't that they said what they said, so much as they did it behind their country's back. If they were in Dallas, and made that statement, and took how th3e audience reacted, at least they had the courage of what they believed in. But they said it in a foreign country wher ethey knew they'd get applause. Apparently, Natalie Maines was the girl in high school who went up to the girl who hated her sister and told her all the bad things about her sister she knew. Just for a few seconds of approval...
I wish she'd leave the country.
The Eagles were rock? Puhhhleeeez.
On the way UP the ladder, the chicks claimed to be "personal friends" of the then owner for the Texas Rangers. Who was the owner then? George W Bush. They would have the announcer introduce them as "presonal friends" to gain favor with HIS fan base. They would sit and watch ball games and eat hot dogs and chat it up with Geroge W Bush & Co. in HIS box seats. They even sang for one of his innagurations. Despite their short term memory loss, they kissed his butt so the people that liked him, would like them.
They played the same game in London but sat on the other side of the table this time.
Natalie Maines has always looked down her nose country music. She would say things like "Country music has no soul, I would rather be rock n roll." Well Daddy didnt have any ties in Rock N Roll and the only job he could get her was country. Since waitressing was becoming a real drag for her, she took it. And dont you think for a second she didnt kiss every REDneck conservative ass that came her way. She did indeed.
She is a liar and fraud and will say and do anything for cheap applause, including sellling out a "personal friend" that kept her ass from being an overweight waitress the rest of her life.
So instead of being an overweight waitress, she's an overweight bigmouth like Rosie O'Donnell or Roseanne Barr...
But how does she feel about "Western?"
What passes for country music today is pretty much a rehash of 70s mellow rock.
What is interesting about the whole thing is that the "tolerance" "forgiveness" and "understanding" that she so vehemently demanded from everyone, she has none to give in return.
NATALIE MAINES IS A FRAUD!
Bob Wills is still the king!
Never had any of her music, never will; I'll just remain a Tower Of Power/Motown fan...
You really ought to look again...
Unless you think Uncle Tupelo and Wilco are country bands.
Even Joe Ely is a lot closer to rock-n-roll than he is to Nashville country.
Did this conjur up images of the T-Mobile cheerleader for anyone else? "You're not concieted. Your just honest. I was going to wear the white bathing suit and then she had it too!"
Apparantly "country rednecks" arnt the only one who cant stand fatalie maines!
