Maines: No Need To Love Our Country

It is understood that questioning someone's patriotism can raise the ire of one so accused.

But, Natalie Maines is not afraid to challenge anyone's love of country. Her own, in particular.

"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

Had Maines been born in Russia she would today be just another dirty blonde common laborer. In America, however, Maines has been able to ride her marginal voice to levels of superstardom and great wealth.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!

A message that would carry a lot more weight if it were spoken over cold rice and beans rather than asparagus tempura with tuna sashimi.
