Hey Gents:
You have perhaps managed to tear yourselves away from coverage of Anna Nicole Smith's timely, yes timely demise to note that the Dixie Chicks won five, count 'em FIVE Grammy Awards for their latest album which includes the powerful anthem, "Not Ready To Make Nice."
Natalie Maines is a class act. She has shown that patriotism, used as a cudgel becomes just another brutish tool in the hands of a despot when it's used to stifle dissent. She is the true patriot. She stands at the head of a long line of celebrities who've risked their careers in turning their notoriety to a higher purpose. Jane Fonda, Neil Young and others...........heady company.
