Remember when she was all cutting-edge and political and stirring up the pot on Bush’s policies and whatever? Seems like so long ago, doesn’t it? I mean, love her (or him) or hate her (or him), that was kind of a tiny bit of a career suicide, wasn’t it?
So what does one who lost their spot in the limelight do to try and salvage a career before they realize that you have to pay into your own 1099 wages so that they count for Social Security benefits? They rerecord an old song, try to make it their own, and ride the coattails on that for awhile to let a little bit more dough roll in so that they can go back to semi-retirement, and recommence chastising themselves for not knowing when to hold it, fold it, or shut the fuck up.
In this case, Natalie’s gone and redone The Beach Boys’ epic song, ‘God Only Knows,’ for Season 5 of Big Love, and boy do I love Bill Paxton. But regardless, girlfriend can sing, and I really do heart this song.
What do you guys think? Did you forget about Dre Natalie Maines, too?
As much as I enjoyed the song, it would have been nicer to NOT hear it and continue to forget about Natalie Maines
