I love the Dixie Chicks and Natalie Maines most of all. CNN has a story how their honesty and opinions of Bush are hurting their current album promotion. From the CNN article, discussing Natalie...

Now that she's truly notorious, having told a London audience in 2003, on the eve of the Iraq war, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas," Maines has one regret: the apology she offered George W. Bush at the onset of her infamy. "I apologized for disrespecting the office of the president," says Maines. "But I don't feel that way anymore. I don't feel he is owed any respect whatsoever."

They have a new album coming out - "Taking the Long Way" (May 23rd). The first single is "Not Ready to Make Nice" and fits with the sentiment from her quote above.

You can pre-order the album on iTunes for $9.99. Let's show Natalie support for really speaking truth to power or put your money where her mouth is! :-)
