Sunday Morning Song of the Moment

Here's the deal. I try not to "recycle" artists'. But it's tough. I mean, I've heard some songs lately that I have been so blown away by. But it's hard when I have one day and oh, so many songs.

I know that many people feel the Dixie Chicks should "shut up and sing". Which is, in my opinion, absolutely ridiculous.

I loved the Dixie Chicks before. But I love them even more now - after what they said, their conduct since. They are strong women. Women who are not afraid to say what they think. If they see something they think is wrong, they say it. They are women who know what it means to be strong women. I'd be happy to take a page out of their book any old day.

And more than I care to admit, I can relate to where they have found themselves. Stupid accusations, stupid misunderstandings. And I'm sorry, but I can't help but feel if they weren't women - strong women, opinionated women - this thing wouldn't have blown up the way it did. But nothing scares small people more than a strong woman/women.

I will forever lean on their example and their music.

Not Ready To Make Nice

By: The Dixie Chicks.

Forgive, sounds good

Forget, I’m not sure I could

They say time heals everything

But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt

There’s nothing left for me to figure out

I’ve paid a price

And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down

I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round

It’s too late to make it right

I probably wouldn’t if I could

‘Cause I’m mad as hell

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said

Can’t you just get over it

It turned my whole world around

And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby

With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’

It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her

Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger

And how in the world can the words that I said

Send somebody so over the edge

That they’d write me a letter

Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing

Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down

I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round

It’s too late to make it right

I probably wouldn’t if I could

‘Cause I’m mad as hell

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down

I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round

It’s too late to make it right

I probably wouldn’t if I could

Cause I’m mad as hell

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good

Forget, I’m not sure I could

They say time heals everything

But I’m still waiting
