While we're on the topic of Dixie Chicks...

just in case anyone was wondering,
this week marks the official changing of the
"song of empowerment sing-a-long while you drive" CD
all over the country women (and secretly some men)
are putting their Natasha Bedingfield CDs back into their jewel cases
and popping in the Dixie Chicks Taking the Long Way

also, some version of the song's lyrics to "The Long Way Around" will be the senior quote for thousands of high school senior girls around the country.
at least i know if i was a senior mine would be:

Well I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I’m gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
Takin’ the long way

ok so i have a weak spot...i've been found out.
