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.
Did their career tank? I have not heard much from them.
