Not Ready to Make Nice is the first single off the new CD and it is an in your face type of song. Natalie, Martie and Emily have put their hurt and anger out there for the world to see. Sometimes it seems that the term Freedom of Speech has been forgotten by both sides of the controversy. The Chicks and their fans on one side and the people that dont agree on the other side. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether on the US soil or abroad, should it really affect their ability to perform or sell CDs? Not in a perfect world, but we dont live in a perfect world and it doesnt look like the controversy is going to die down anytime soon with the Chicks making appearances on 60 Minutes and other places to promote the newest offering. No one can deny their talent, but can the conservative, patriotic crowd of country music move on from the statements made and take the Dixie Chicks back into the fold, well have to wait and see.
