The interview started out with with a rather ackward Nat saying "Apoligize for what?" She looked like she had never heard the the question before. She didn't even get her own quote correct- the interviewer had to correct her. I like the Dixie Chicks and was hoping Nat would say something like, "I have to be who I am but I should probably have not have been so offensive" There was a whole lot more defiance and no apology of any kind. The girls even went one step farther and insulted country music in general- one of the Chicks saying, she cannot listen to country radio anymore. When the question about fans was brought up- the clear message, although not spoken directly, was, 'we are not going to compromise anything just to please fans.' I think they blew an oportunity to take advantage of the fact that their opinion of the war has been autheniticated by the opinion polls. They could have offered support for the troops and held proudly to their opinion on the war but they just looked like some clueless self obsorbed rich chicks. I was disipointed that these gals, who are so good a expressing themselves in music, are so poor at expressing themselves in an interview-but who knows what was left out. I work in the television industry and I would love to see what 60 minutes DIDN'T edit into the story. They may have gotten a bad rap if someone in the edit room was out to get them.
