Natalie Maines and Nelson and AL GORE



I see the resemblance. Nelson, the lonely bully, the unloved jerk, is not ready to make nice either.

Dixie Chicks to Country: Nah-Nah


The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines couldn't resist the rich irony _ or the chance to rub their success in the face of a country-music establishment that turned its back on them.

"That's interesting," Maines said in picking up the band's Grammy Award for best country album on Sunday. Country radio stations have largely ignored the band after Maines' infamous 2003 remarks critical of President Bush on a London stage.

"Well, to quote the great Simpsons: heh-heh," she said.

The Dixie Chicks' "Not Ready to Make Nice," a blistering retort to their critics following the incident, had already won the Grammy for song of the year. They drew several standing ovations from an audience well aware that their victories had a political point attached.

NO CLASS.

I'm writing this post and out comes the man in black -- AL GORE.

Gore presenting the Grammy for Best Rock Album?

He's congratulating the winners, the Red Hot Chili Peppers!

How weird!


It's surreal.

Before presenting Album of the Year, Don Henley gave a shout out to the Dixie Chicks -- definitely a political statement.

What happened? The Dixie Chicks won and were handed the most prestigious honor of the evening.

Natalie Maines said the award was a message in support of free speech.

No hint of an inflated sense of self-importance there.


Right.

I don't believe in Gore's global warming nightmare scenario.


How could I?

Hell is freezing over.
