VANITY: "Not Ready To Make Nice" (Lyrics to New Dixie Chick Song)

Q Country 92.7 ^

[RabidBartender]

You know, if the Chicks had done a regular song, you know, a ballad like "Without You" or a catchy ditty like "Long Time Gone", they MIGHT have been able to ease back into the country mainstream. But NO. They have to come right out and stick it in the fans' faces.

Note the "Shut up and Sing" comment - someone ping Laura Ingraham.

Don't get me wrong, the music sounds great (likely due to the great Rick Rubin producing the entire album). But Natalie seems to be whining a lot and playing the victim here.

Our local St. Joseph radio station is having a poll - I am hoping the Dixie Chicks remain absent from the airwaves here and in Kansas City.

Dixie Chicks Ping

[Andonius_99]

I still will never understand why they didn't have the intestinal fortitude to say what they said (or was it just her??) over here, in our country, and not overseas...

[aynrandfreak]

I'm not ready to back down

Neither are we, you traitor!

[newconhere]

I am not ready to make nice with them. Yuck. She is from my home town. Lubbock, I believe, still will not play their music.

[bboop]

Just hold onto that grudge, be a victim, and build your career based on that? Won't be really attractive to those of us who are into self-responsibility.

[cripplecreek]

Not ready to make music

not ready to make money

not ready to make sense

[AngryJawa]

I don't think they're even trying to get any airplay on country stations anymore. They're going for a crossover to the "indie-rock" format.

Screw 'em. They're done.

[Darkwolf377]

And you know in their next interview they'll say people who won't stop talking about that incident "need to get a life."

Yo, chicks, nobody cares.

[NRA1995]

I think I'll just stick with R & B and jazz.....never cared much for the Dixie Caterwaulers before they went political....

[WV Mountain Mama]

I second that!

[lormand]

I have fond memories of when my wife and I thru away our last Dixie Chicks CD.

I'm ashamed that the Dixie Chicks are from my state of Texas.

They should be from France.

[TUX]

Sometimes I wonder about free speech when unqualified morons run their mouth about our country's policy.

To them its all about media print and face time. The more controversial and outrageous the better.

[sgtbono2002]

They act like they are the victims. They started this crap themselves and they arent ready to make nice? Screw them.

Go sing for Bin-Laden butt wipes.

[OKIEDOC]

Dixie chickens are past doo chicken feces in my small book.

What they have to say or sing has no relevance in things that go round in my world.

Just a bunch of misguided ignorant liberals who were embraced by the good country folk who got burned big time.

[HamiltonJay]

I thought they swore off country and were going to go pop/top 40....

Lord knows, while they have incredible talent, they like many other "entertainers" before them shot themselves in their foot with their big mouths.

The only recent entertainer with an ounce of intellect I've seen lately, at least in terms of understanding what an entertainer is, was Lindsey Lohan, when they tried to press her on politics, she said (paraphrasing) quite wisely, not going to talk about it, no matter what I say, I'll alienate part of my fan base... and how smart would that be? I'm an entertainer, that's it.

[cubreporter]

And THAT Dixie Chicks is what DEFINITELY makes President Bush different from you three losers. He forgives. Which by the way, they (DC's) should ask the President and the American public for THEIR forgiveness. The Dixie Chicks paid the price cause they chose to say what they did on foreign soil. The American public ALSO CHOSE to not buy their albums. Plain and Simple. I guess the DC's wanted to spout off their mouths to be popular. Guess they found out the President was MORE popular.

Don't ya just love the word CHOICE???? I do!

[conservativebabe]

Hey Dixie Chicks, go sell stupid somewhere else, because most of us ain't buying your records any more!

[OB1kNOb]

Wow! You mean the Ditzy Hicks still around?
