I met the Dixie Chicks
in New York on the Today Show and got interviewed by Al R oker. I
also met Natalies sister Kim, son Slade, makeup artist, Martie,
Emily,and Emilys friend and Natalies aunt. It was awesome and they
are soo sweet.

Back in Feb. of 2000
Steve(my husband) & I were starting our own stock car racing team, but
we were having a hard time finding a name for our team. Steve was on leave one week and we got to spend extra time together. Everywhere
we went I had a pen and notebook playing with names. One day it hit me. Everytime we had gotten in the truck that week the song Ready To Run
was on the radio.We came up with Ready To Run Racing, R.T.R. Racing for
short. It was a big hit at the local track where my husband & 16yr.old
son Raymond race.The announcer always plays Ready To Run when they
come out on the track.The fans go wild. We live about 20 minutes from
Corpus Christi ,that's where we race at.We have four children and we have
been married for 12 years. Steve has been in the U.S Navy for 15 years
and planning to retire in 5yrs. at the age of 39. My wish is to someday
share our story with the Dixie Chicks. -Michelle
The
very first time I found out about the Dixie
Chicks was when I saw the video Wide Open Spaces
on CMT. Now all of my friends are like totally
into the Dixie Chicks cause of me. They like
totally rock!!! I've been to their concert twice.

About
a year ago, a few months before the Chicks shut
down their e-mail address, I wrote to them about
how Wide Open Spaces had moved me, and I got a
response within a few days. It was obvious that
they had actually read the message, because the
response was very personal. It was signed
Natalie, Emily and Martie. It made me really
happy. -Katie
I
had heard of The Dixie Chicks when they first
came out with "Wide Open Spaces". I got
more invovled when I was deciding to divorce and
Wide Open Spaces really hit home. Then I bought
the "Fly" CD and I dreamed of getting
on my "Sin Wagon" and finding me a
"Cowboy to Take Me Away". Knowing that
the Chicks had familiar situations with divorce I
felt like they were my crutch. They made it and
with the help of that and the songs, I made it
too. I am happy to say I rode that sin wagon for
a little while but now I have settled back down
with that special cowboy. I have become such a
great fan. I clean, workout, sing, karaoke, and
just relax with their music. It has really made
me a different person and I can't wait to see
them Oct 21 in Charleston, WVA. -Missy, 25
After a relationship of 2
years, I was heart broken to find out I was being
cheated on and then left for the other woman. You
Were Mine touched my
heart. I've cried to this song, I've vented anger
to this song. I've
laughed at how lame I felt to this song. This
song has definately moved my
life and helped me to move on with my life. Thank
you Dixie Chicks for
singing this song...to what it seems is..Me.
