she is selling a solo cd and chooses now to speak out.

Did she ever once think that Dixie Chicks, a group formed WITHOUT Natalie and Natalie later became a part of, were 3 people at the time she opened her mouth
and she blindsighted the other 2 members who had their lives and career upended.
They had no idea and were never asked.

I would be more impressed with Natalie if this were a Dixie Chick production, because the other two did not sign up for what happened.

But I do love Dixie Chicks, and will support Natalie.

But what about the other 2 Emily and Martie?
(and I did buy their duo cd (Courtyard hounds) but it sort of disappeared quickly).

Everybody in 2013 has an angle, and Natalie has hers.
She gets to have her cake and eat it, and now gets 100% of the money, instead of being a later addition to a group the other two started which had a different lead singer and other members.

(and this does nothing to take away what she did or said.)

Because Emily and Martie were the collateral damage she never thought of when she tore it down not thinking of the morning after.

BTW-whatever happened to Laura Lynch the original lead singer?
She was the collateral damage of Emily and Martie and Natalie and the record people
Guess Laura is the Pete Best of the equation, as she was retired through no choice of her own.
So in essence, Natalie is Ringo Starr.
