Naturally, we have a landslide of feelings about it.
Cowboy, take us away!
Madison Malone Kircher:The Dixie Chicks are back!
In fact, I did.
I cannot believe our erstwhile president nearly ruined music forever.
I, too, shed a tear for my long-lost Chicks.
First of all, one can only do Goodbye Earl so many times at karaoke from 19992020.
MMK:I, too, am ashamed that George W. Bush is from Texas, Natalie Maines.
RH:I would like to take a moment to thank our ancestors for inventing divorce.
MMK:She finally got thenerve to file fordee-vorce, you might say.
RH:What do we think her husband did, exactly, to deserve such a ceremonious fuck-off song?
Outside of, you know, trying tosteal her unreleased musicand apparently setting his own bed on fire?
And is this song just about him or is it about the curse of heterosexuality in general?
MMK:A brief pause to shoot my shot and just say … Natalie.
I am literally begging you and I promise I will never attempt to steal your music.
I will also say I was worried when I first saw the title of the track.
That word gets tossed around too much these days.
It really felt like it could easily fall into the trap of the Yass, queen.
This pussy grabs backfeminism of the Trump era that doesnt actually say anything.
I, obviously, never should have doubted the Chicks.
Im rooting for you (but also myself).
MMK:I really dig the Americana vibe.
The paramilitary Girl Scouts thing is really working for me, too.
Feels exactly right for all the fights this group has quite literally survived in the last nearly two decades.
Plus, allow me to reiterate, its gay!!!
I also really enjoy the implication that her ex-husband is a potato.
The Chicks are not messing around here.
Does he have some sort of hotline it’s possible for you to call when a man isnt shit?
RH:Im just really happy about how angry this song is.
When shes like, Acting all above it when our friends divorced.
What a lie, lie, lie, lie lie.
But I really prefer the Chicks in righteously pissed-off mode.
More Dixie Chicks songs about burying men alive, figuratively and/or literally!
Earls dead when they bury him.
They dont really specify …
MMK:Dark.
Dont think Im going to let you get away with referring to Taylors Soon Youll Get Better as nice.
Its way better than nice.
RH:I just like everybody including Taylor better whentheyre a little bit mad.
MMK:Okay, fair.
But this isnt a shtick.
Its the way the Dixie Chicks have always been.
RH:Its true!
They have always beennon-ready to make nice.
Still slaps, though.
