See, what I meant was.. um... I don't know, I'm just stooooopid.

The other day I was causing trouble over on Juicy's blog and today I found another gem, so I just couldn't resist the urge to write a little diddy about it.

Natalie Maines, recording selling genius, part time political activist.

Most think I don't like this Chick because of her politics, but in reality its because her game is weak. It's one thing if you disagree with a person or policy and are smart enough to come up with a counter-arguement. It's another ballgame all together when all you can come up with is a glorified "I know you are, but what am I?.." retort. Look, I got off the Bush bandwagon a while back, so I can relate with people's frustrations, but at least come up with a good reason why you hate the man.

This CNN.com article illustrates the frustration people have with this lunatic.

The first single, "Not Ready to Make Nice," peaked at No. 36 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, beginning its descent after just seven weeks. The second single, "Everybody Knows," is now at No. 50, down two places in its fourth week.

Well, that's okay because Natalie doesn't care what the "Country Industry" thinks about her music.

"Not Ready to Make Nice" performed only slightly better at adult contemporary radio, peaking at No. 32 on the AC chart and falling off after six weeks.

Well, crap.. looks like the non-Country folks don't give a shit either.

I wonder how long this whole thing becomes a centerpiece for a VH1 "Where are they now?" episode?

Maines was quoted in late January on EW.com, before the single went to country radio, saying: "For me to be in country music to begin with was not who I was ... I would be cheating myself ... to go back to something that I don't wholeheartedly believe in. So I'm pretty much done. They've shown their true colors. I like lots of country music, but as far as the industry and everything that happened ... I couldn't want to be farther away from that."
Maines also said, "I don't want people to think that me not wanting to be part of country music is any sort of revenge. It is not. It is totally me being who I am, and not wanting to compromise myself and hate my life."

Judging by the comments by Mark Evans, my guess is sooner than later.

"When an artist says that they don't want to be a part of that industry, it made our decision a no-brainer," program director Mark Evans says. "There are too many talented new artists dying to have a song played on country radio, so I'd rather give one of them a shot."

I wonder if a sex tape will surface soon, because someone has jumped way beyond the shark.
