Your statement about her Daddy's work was just flatly incorrect.
This comment cracked me up, "Their former-fans wouldn't buy their new album now, even if it would resurrect Dale Earnhardt."
I used to really like the Dixie Chicks, too. They did have some great songs, but I change the station if they come on now.
What I did think was odd was right around the time they said they were done with country, Cheryl Crowe moved to Nashville and said she WAS country. It was like, "Fantast- oh, crap."
No, its actually quite accurate. Daddy is the one who got her the gig. Had daddy really had the ties into the rock n roll industry as you claim, he would have used them to get her a gig. He did what he could and her life for the last six years was apparantly hell (her words not mine) because she had to pretend she was "country". On the other had, I guess he could have tried to get her a gig in rock n roll and they just dindt like her. ;)
Whats also interesting is that their new sound is gonna be something close to what Cheryl Crowe put out on her last album. Well there isnt really a "demand" for that format. I dont think it even sold a million.
I agree with you. I don't even think Rick Rubin is going to save this one.
Gee I guess no one believed you were sincere when you said the following Natalie (for good reason) - that's why you are "pretty much done":
"As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect," Maines said in her latest statement."

First it was "we arnt' country anymore, it can no longer be our home"...then it was "we didnt say that, it was taken out of context"...now its "i never liked country, it was never me, its hell"...
wtf? do they think people cant see them for LIARS they are???
Its been a lie from the very start!
You are spouting a bunch of opinion as fact, and you don't know what you are talking about.
Lloyd himself toured with the Clash. You've heard of them, right?
Then why didnt he get his daughter a gig in "rock" instead of making her life "hell" (again, her words not mine) having to sing country??
BUMP
Poor little girl still doest get it. It wasn't what she said it's where she said it. If she said it in New York city I doubt anybody would have cared but she had to open her big fat mouth in London on the eve of war.
She should have a nice long talk with Jane Fonda if she really wants to know what happend.
And what stereotype is that? Patriotic value-loving work ethic get the job doners? That's fine by me.
So much better than the elitest, anti-american, mostly ignorant, always stupid reactionary hollywood crowd that never saw a brutal, repressive dictator they didn't fawn over Natalie has thrown her lot in with.
