But … I can’t remember what I was talking about. I say that now and people think, “Ooh, she’s mad at country,” and I never listened to country. (Laughs) I wouldn’t have even thought of Toby Keith if he hadn’t put out a picture of me and Saddam Hussein cuddling.
Q.He could’ve at least had you cuddling with Rachel Maddow. But everyone jumped on board.

To quote a Dixie Chicks song, fearless frontwoman Natalie Maines has “been a longtime gone.”
Seven years after one of the most successful country music acts released Taking the Long Way, and its unapologetic single “Not Ready to Make Nice” in response to the singer’s political dig at then-President George W.
Bush, Maines goes her own way for her first-ever solo album, Mother. I don’t keep up with her press so I don’t want to assume these people haven’t spoken out.
Q.Will there ever be another Dixie Chicks album?
A. Well, with the Chicks, I definitely felt like I was playing dress up a bit — but I liked it!
Are you conscious of your look and how it represents the music? With two kids, there’s not enough time in the day to spend on what I look like; this is a much easier look.
How could I let anyone think anything else?! I wouldn’t expect Martie and Emily to leave their families and come here to do that, either. (Laughs)
Q.About the lack of country artists advocating for equal rights.
A. With her emotive and powerful voice, she has helped the band achieve widespread recognition and acclaim, earning numerous awards and accolades throughout their career.
Her musical journey has seen her explore various genres, from bluegrass and country to pop rock and country pop.
And we would get lots of emails, and a lot of the community would come right up and say, “I love that you did this. Throughout her career as a talented American singer and musician, Maines has left a significant impact on the music industry, particularly as the lead vocalist for the renowned country band, The Chicks (formerly known as the Dixie Chicks).
Since joining The Chicks in 1995 as the replacement for their previous lead singer, Natalie Maines has been a driving force behind the band’s success.
They decided to postpone their concerts so that the affected member could prioritize their wellness and get enough time to recover. Yeah, this is definitely a lesbianish haircut I’ve got going on. Apparently, that’s not good in some people’s eyes. However, one year later, in 1995, before even completing her studies there, Natalie dropped out of Berklee, and joined the famous all-girls country band called “Dixie Chicks“.
Shoot.
We were fun to hate.
That’s because you were ahead of your time. Exactly. Just for being us. I don’t know that she is, but I’ve spoken to her some and I know that she’s a pretty liberal person.
