Alright, so I'm sure everyone remembers a certain comment a certain Dixie Chick made a few years ago in England -- that whole ashamed of George Bush thing. And ok, Natalie really should have spoken her mind at home rather than in some other country, but she didn't say anything that 70+% of the country isn't thinking. Besides, as Americans its our right and responsibility to question our government, so really, Nat and the girls were just doing their duty.
ANYWAY, fast forward to today. I break the cellophane on the new Chicks CD and pop it in the stereo for jam time with my boy and after two really lovely ballads a song called "Not Ready to Make Nice" comes on. Now, I've heard the chorus all over TV and in Target, etc. But its really the second verse you should pay attention to:
I know you said
Can't you you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it
I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets I don't mind sayin'
It's a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Sayin' that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over
I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down....
And you know what? I agree with her -- don't back down Natalie!
If you think she makes a good point, too, call your local pop and country radio stations and request this song. Everyone was keen to hear what the Dixie Chicks had to say 3 years ago, they should hear what the Chicks have to say now.
