Natalie Maines on tour with the Eagles.

The Eagles sure know how to keep things fresh and interesting on the road.
For the veteran rockers' new stadium tour, the band, which often performs without supporting acts, recruited none other than the Dixie Chicks and Keith Urban to open shows. (Warning to Urban fans: He's not on the bill for the show at Busch Stadium.)
"We're giving people something for their money — not to say they weren't getting their money's worth when they see us by ourselves," Eagles bassist Timothy B. Schmit says. "Normally, we're on a show of our own, but on this one we decided to have a little bit of a summer fest."
Booking the Dixie Chicks was somewhat of a controversial move. Many have yet to move past lead singer Natalie Maines' comments against the war in Iraq and then-President George W. Bush at a 2003 concert in London.

I’m watching the Cardinal’s-Oakland A’s game, and the announcers were just now AGAIN trying to “sell” the concert.
Many have yet to move past lead singer Natalie Maines’ comments against the war in Iraq and then-President George W. Bush at a 2003 concert in London.
Rewriting history again, Maines’ dissed her fans.
“That didn’t sit well with country music fans then, and now Maines says she’s finished with the genre and is none too pleased with the fans, basically labeling them as redneck hicks.”
Maines said, “And I guess I was ignorant to the fact that the stereotypes behind country music were true — and it was disappointing.”
Ouch. She wasn’t finished trashing the fans of country music.
“So I’m pretty much done. They’ve shown their true colors. I like lots of country music, but as far as the industry and everything that happened... I couldn’t want to be farther away from that,” Maines told EW.

Eagles-— Most repellent of the baby boomer nostalgia bands
Oh, those eagles. I was mistaken, I thought Philly was showing off their “new” stadium to some “friends”. Joe Walsh should have stayed with the James Gang.
That’s where I saw it. Pujols just tied it up with a run scoring single.
Looks like Natalie should join the Indigo Girls.
The are liberals.
Next line in the article: “’We have nothing but respect for them because of the fact they stand by their convictions,’ Schmit says.”
That’s something to consider if anyone’s thinking of snapping up some bargain-basement Dixie Eagles tickets.
Did Natalie go lesbo?
...Larry the Cable Guy said Maines was flat out nuts...says he “You don’t go out of your way to piss off your fan base like that!”
Did their career tank? I have not heard much from them.
Looks like that wacky little bilge pump doesn’t think she’s getting enough attention. Is she pulling a Chastity Bono or something?
Thanks!!!!( They’ve stranded at least 4-5 so far and at least one DP. I’m recording it!!!!!!!)
Even Beergoggles wouldn’t cure that!
Look-a-like guitarist ping!
