1. kick

[tulsakatz]

2. I've never been a fan of country music.........

....but I have to say this is a great song!!!!

In fact, if it hadn't been for the statement Natalie made in '03, I wouldn't have even known much about the Dixie Chicks. Now, I think they are truly patriots for having the courage to tell the truth at a time when few people had that same courage to go against the administration and popular opinion.

Keep going Dixie Chicks!! Great song!!

[warrior1]

3. I know I will buy this album

This ought to be their anthem.

[benevolent dictator]

4. Ha. I always knew I liked them for a reason.

And that was all before Natalie Maines's comments about a fellow Texan, President George W. Bush, during a London appearance in March, 2003 really put the Dixie Chicks in the headlines. The resultant uproar - complete with boycotts and death threats - is the focus of TAKING THE LONG WAY's defiant first track, "Not Ready to Make Nice." "The stakes were definitely higher on that song," says Robison. "We knew it was special because it was so autobiographical, and we had to get it right. And once we had that song done, it freed us up to do the rest of the album without that burden."

Lyrics

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


I not really a fan of country music either...But I'll buy this one!:thumbsup:

10. Wow! Fabulous song!

Dixie Chicks rock!

[Bhaisahab]

11. MSNBC asks - Will they be embraced?

SNIP

Not all big cities are playing it, though. WIL-FM in St. Louis, which hasn’t had the Chicks in rotation since 2003, gave “Not Ready to Make Nice” a trial run and decided against adding it to the playlist after listeners complained with calls and e-mails.

“With the hard feelings out there, especially here in the heartland, combined with the in-your-face lyrics, I don’t think that boded well for them,” program director Greg Mozingo said.

In Denver, KYGO program director Joel Burke also was bothered by the lyrics. KYGO tested the song, and while Burke said listeners reacted favorably, he isn’t ready to add it to the playlist.

“The ticked-off factor is beginning to subside,” Burke said. “There is an appetite that I’m beginning to see for the first time in nearly three years that people are interested in the Dixie Chicks again.

“But what concerns me about this song is it’s backward thinking,” he added. “I’d rather wait until the CD comes out and pick a song we can embrace and that doesn’t have any negative connection to it.”

12. Dear RW assholes; YOU MFers are the "negative connection".

YOU MFers were the cheerleading squads who cheered on the INVASION (supreme crime war of aggression) against a people who had done NOTHING WHATSOEVER to us.

YOU MFers are the "NEGATIVE CONNECTION".

[Bhaisahab]

[Cats Against Frist]

21. You're goddamn right

They didn't mind "in your face" when they were sounding the "Iraq and I Roll," war cry. Just like a winger to not be able to get back what they give.

16. Told like it is.

Three great ladies refusing to be cowed by small minds. I love it.

20. When will they apologize for telling the truth?

How come people think that being right means that they should get away with something? Huh?
