| #3 There was no way around it: The room was half-empty. The 2013 edition of South by Southwest was just getting underway as Natalie Maines stood onstage at Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater, sporting a brunette faux-hawk and holding an acoustic guitar. Whole sections of the 2,750-capacity space sat devoid of bodies. Those who were in attendance chattered incessantly, glued to smartphones or loudly ordering drinks from the bar. The venue’s emptiness carried an almost oppressive weight. The music began — gone were the breezy, poppy country songs, replaced by something darker and tougher — and for the next hour, the audience’s indifference to Maines and her bandmates did not subside. This is the price you pay for starting over. |

| #1 ...Listened to this twinkie on NPR the other night. Sounded like she not only doesn't have a brain in her head, but that she refuses to admit that her big mouth might have killed a good band and alienated all her fans. Mike |
