Dixie Chick runs her mouth off...again
Natalie Maines: âPeople were misledâ"Bush Lied, People DiedTM". How original... Dixie Chicks singer I must digress there. To paraphrase that great Klingon philosopher Lt. Worf, "She talks much, but says little". "I think people were misled and I think people are fighting a war that they didnât know they were going to be fighting," Maines said Friday on NBCâs "Today" show. "And I think they were misled by people who should have been asking questions and werenât." Is it me, or is that incoherent? I mean, the Hussein regime was our enemy for, what 12 years but she claims âthey didnât know they were going to be fighting,â? And how were the masses misled? Anything worth hanging your hat on there, Natalie? The country stars faced criticism and even death threats after Maines said she and her bandmates were ashamed that President Bush was from Texas. She made the remark in London shortly before the war began. Repeat bullshit early and often enough and some people will buy it eventually. Though Maines apologized for the phrasing of her remark, some radio stations banned the groupâs music. The group also received death threats in the wake of Mainesâ comments. The lesson of cause and effect still hasnât been learned. Maines said Friday she did not feel vindicated by how the war has unfolded: "I would have liked to have been proven wrong." Memo to Natalie: you were. The bandâs recent concert tour was one of the yearâs most successful, but Maines said it is too early to predict the long-term fallout. As for the backlash, she said, "We like making music and weâll continue to do that whether people buy it or not." Prediction: Theyâll be playing places like the Club Casino in Hampton, NH (seating: about 500) in five years. The Dixie Chicks on Friday released, "Top Of The World Tour Live," their double CD set and DVD. Iâll buy a Vanilla Ice CD before even thinking about buying that b.s. Posted by: Raj 2003-11-24 |
