The Blitzy Bombshells sing about "not ready to make nice," although they spun a different drum hence their tearful and outloud crying [really] interview a shortwhile on a national news show following Big-Mouth's outspoken shortcomings.  That did cause a national outcry against them, which still haunts them as a band.  Maines now says that she takes back her apology for her remarks; trying to sound tough-enough after everyone now voices their opinions more and more about Bush, the war, blah, blah, blah.  Uh, Natalie: "grow up; either stick to your guns or don't.  Don't ride the fence."  Now, Ms. Maguire, I believe, states that she doesn't want the entire country music crowd, but only her dedictaed fan-base anyways; you know, those being the only ones left that adore them.  'Cause remember, country music doesn't want you anyways.  Oh yes, I almost forgot with that last sentence having been stated.  It brings me to the point that it's obviously noticeable and mentioned that they are steering vastly further from the country edge on this latest Rubin- produced recording and edging towards the pop- sound.  That's a good move considering country music doesn't want you back.  So, you might as well be like th eother pop, rock and hip-hop artists that Bush-bash [Young...West...yawn...] and head on over to the pop- side of things where you can get by with more of that 'schtuff.
