4. They had no choice in the matter. She ambushed them.

And of course they wanted that. And I am sure it was negotiated for the rights
(much like the Beatles were joint productions when Lennon did the important stuff and Paul did the nice stuff).
But Natalie it appears has deserted them, because she is still not ready to make nice, so she ditched them to go solo

she has her cake and eats it too.

But that's the way of the world.
More power to her for this.
It's pretty cool to use the system and reap the rewards
That is America!

(reminds me of Jane and Henry Fonda.
People always forgot how Henry was one of the true liberals of all time, because Jane made him seem conservative with her radical ways.
Henry got lost in the mix so to say.
Yet he was the more liberal of the two, and Jane had her cake and ate it too.

history repeating itself.

And I assume everyone here is a Henry Fonda fan. What's not to like?

I love Dixie Chicks but I gotta make 2 or 3 comments to make graham4anything Apr 2013 #1
