"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln
This young lady is very stupid and like the man says "you can't fix stupid".
I agree. I know money is a motivation for some people, but I think Maines is from a connected and privileged background and is not motivated by money. She wants what she conceives of as intellectual or artistic "respect" or cachet.
There are different types of "money" or currency. Some people want egotistical or artistic or intellectual respect, cachet or "currency" or validity to their way of thinking.
Maines is looking for what she imagines to be "intellectual" respect. She's trying to overcome a poor body and self image. She doesn't want to be "country" anymore.
She's like all the Hollywood "stars" and celebrities trying to look "smart" by wearing little eyeglasses. It's not enough for these people to be "stars" anymore, they want to think they're really smart, intellectual and important.
Good luck.
LOL!
I think you need to stay away from the bottle.
That's a good analysis. I think much of that, also, comes from actors and singers feeling they are intellectual underachievers, either not doing well in college or not having gone at all. So they seek the applause of those they think are "in the know" on the REAL truths. Which is why the conspiracy-crammed left is so appealing to them--see, they don't buy the line that "average" people get from reading newspapers and thinking about facts--they leapfrog over them and get the skinny from the ones who aren't FOOLED by all that BS from The Man.
Not only does she continue to ply her trade against the tide of country music fans' attitudes, she continues to complain and play the victim when consumers choose not to purchase their product. She needs an education in how the free market works.
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans
But don't you dare question their patriotism. < /barf >
"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."
She reminds me of Mildred Gillars. An America who found acceptance in Hitler's Germany and a broadcasting career as "Axis Sally" where she criticized the US.
The recent pics I see lately show Natalie wearing all black. The Stevie Nick's trick. It doesn't fool anyone.
The face has changed, though. No more chipmunk cheeks. Her face isn't the problem, though; it's more the mouth that's in it. ;)
Of course you don't. (Bless her heart)
Bill and Hillary
How many more tour dates will be scratched because of this latest utterance?
yShe needs to change the name of her band to the Nowhere Chicks then.
I kinda like Dyxie Chycks, i.e. womyn etc.
"I kinda like Dyxie Chycks, i.e. womyn etc."
Yeah it has a good ring to it:
Duh Dyxie Chycks
Sounds like the U.S.A. needs to reacquaint many of it's residents with the history of their own country. Poland is not the only country in need of Patriotism...
Finally. She's finally right. The entire country disagree with her...( well, except for a few skanky liberals)
