On my way back from getting groceries at the dollar store, I saw a picture of Natalie Maynes in a window. Because she is shorter than the other two Chicks, she seems somehow attainable. A lot of my buddies don't listen to her music and are totally unaware that she was ashamed the President was from Texas. But to me she represents the height of Lougan achievement and should be applauded as such. Evidently she was shut out by her fans and even dropped from their record label maybe. More significantly, she has been accepted by a new audience who would never have listened to her music. She has developed a style and substance which transends class boundaries. So go buy her album buttwad.
