Absolutely stunning!!!!

Natalie Maines tweeted last night that she is recording a solo album of covers and original songs. Let's hope that this makes the final cut :)

Hope this means that a Dixie Chicks album is not too far off <3

Still doing cover tunes. What a stupid bitch.

[Therealmensa]

She didn't know anything more than that if she pandered to the anti-war crowd in Europe, they'd make more money. She changed what she meant twice, depending on the political wind of the time and place. To say she knew anything more than that is simple ignorance. Nobody ever paid her for her opinion, they paid the DC's for their music. She shit in their rice bowl and they got tossed for it. Nothing more. She ruined the career of two very talented ladies. Ladies who didn't know when to let go.

[Therealmensa]

Actually, she hasn't. SHE was never CMA country music of the entertainer of the year. Toby was though.

In fact, the measure of the Dixie Chicks fall walks in lockstep with her every comment. She talked them off the stage. Oh, she'll get a pot head lesbian mentality crowd to buy a few CD's. But she took a full gainer into the gutter, and no haircut is going to wash away the multi-year bashing she handed out. She said it herself. "The lame asses of rock".

You a funny guy...you blasting me for my right of free speech.

Canada, the land of the free speech has 4 concert dates for them in 2013.

[VjM531]

still so bitter. she sings from her heart, never has lip synced, and yet you want to be better than her. I doubt it ever happens.

[VjM531]

if you could sing like any of these wonderful singers who have sold millions and millions of records, then you'd be there, instead of being a bitterbitch. Natalie has sold over 30,000.000 million herself, with 8 grammy's and the title of cma country music entertainer of the year.

[VjM531]

I bet you want to control the whole world to just what you want to say don't you dumbby? she has every right in front of large audience or not to say what she feels, and at least she knew the idiot in the white house before anyone since she also had him as a representative of her state. The way you want the system, is just one person to run for president?? Obviously, since you don't want differences of opinions, nor public forum. You are a communist in America. wake up. then shut up.

[VjM531]

She spoke the truth, she spoke what she felt, and so many people felt the same way about that ignorant dimwit in the white house. He has been proven to be stupid until this day as well. I wish he'd move to Saudi Arabia, and get out of the usa. anyone who vetoed the girls because of that violated her first rights. You really should ask God to forgive you for you hatred and prejudice, and your lack of knowledge of the constitution and bill of rights.
