Yeah, there's a new wind, alright. It's blowing through the tunnel between Natalie Maines's ears! Honestly, regardless on which side of 'the controversy'(whatever the eff THAT is)you may reside she couldn't have embarrassed herself(not to mention her bandmates)any further. Yet w/each subsequent award the phrase, "better to be silent and have them THINK you're a fool..." Character and success are measured separately. The increasingly pained expressions of the other two whenever she approached the mic were VERY telling. The sisters are VERY savvy and gifted women. Poised, gracious, erudite, humble, appreciative...all in stark contrast to Ms. Maines. She came off as, in the words of my gf, "the MUFF hangin' out w/t hot 'chicks' at the club". Martie and Emily have made tough decisions before re personell and career direction. Look for them to gracefully suggest to Natalie she may be better off pursuing a solo career after this tour.
