I'm not the only one back...

The Dixie Chicks are too. And apparently they can hold a grudge like nobody's business! Their new CD will break out with a single called "Not Ready to Make Nice" which references their hatred of Bush and the whole controversy that caused them to go missing for 5 years. What they seem to *still* not get, is that nobody gives a rat's rear-end what they think about politics. That wasn't the problem. No matter what side of the fence you're on though, you should be angered when someone representing America bashes the current president on foreign soil, to non-Americans, when America is in diplomatic negotiations with that country! I was just about ready to let my kids listen to the Chicks again (I still have a bad taste in my mouth), but this first single has totally changed my mind. I suppose this is going to be their mantra for the rest of their career.....may it be as short lived as possible:

Not Ready to Make Nice
Words and music by Emily Robison,
Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, Dan Wilson

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and
round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if
I could‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I
should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and 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
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and
round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I
should

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and
round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I
should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

Hey chicks....now that you mention it, I'm still mad as hell too! Thanks for reminding me!
