NEW RELEASE: Dixie Chicks "Not Ready To Make Nice"

Dixie Chicks
"Not Ready To Make Nice" (Open Wide/Columbia)
Sophie Muller, director/editor | Grant Jue, producer | Oil Factory, production co | Pascal Lebegue, DP | Description: Forgive? Forget? Not a chance. Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines is still damn angry about being vilified by the media and the mainstream country audience all because she chose to voice an opinion. This heavily stylized set piece finds Maines and her bandmates still bearing the stain and the hurt. Pools, swirls and smears of viscous black ink appear throughout the clip, while attempts are made to rehabilitate Maines by making her write "to talk without thinking is to shoot without aiming" (hello, Mr. Cheney) on a blackboard like she's an unruly student and trying to medicate her into conformity and submission. -- watch "Not Ready To Make Nice"
