Their newest CD appeals to just about everyone. Their old stuff doesn't. It's just as sickening to me too, but that's how it is. I could never blame the Chicks for embracing their fame and running with it. I'm in a group myself though and things have changed from time to time and anytime any person leaves a group, it is never the same.
Some groups change their name when a person leaves.
Whether or not they do or not, they are not the same group as they once were. Different people sing and different sounds come from them. Their history as the Chicks now doesn't include the past founders of the Chicks. Their history began when Natalie joined the group. The Chick group that we all know as the original no longer exists.
