New music from the Dixie Chicks... kt and i think it's a powerful, rockin' tune. (Strings bring in the crescendo- SNAP!) It also seems the perfect response to the death threats and censorship they faced for speaking out against the president. I'm not sure i get the imagery of the video, but i love Not Ready to Make Nice on so many levels.
Then there's Pink. She's getting a lot of press lately- saw her on Oprah, the Today Show, etc. Dear Mr President is simple and fluffy in both lyric and melody if you ask me, but there's no denying this chick has pipes and EGGS.* There's nothing soft, cuddly, or demure about Pink; and it's kind of sweet of her to reclaim a color that has been thrust by society on my gender as a way of emphasizing our supposed pretty-sweetness over our strength and intellect.

* For those of you who don't know, TT learned from Bitch and Animal that the female genitalia shouldn't be used as an insult. When you think about it, doing something courageous could just as easily take "eggs" as it could take "balls."

just as an addendum. the word "juevos" is often used in slang spanish (i think mexican spanish really) in the same vein as "balls" is in english. literally translated, it's "eggs." very interesting.
