Natalie Maines, Ben Harper
FILE - In this Wednesday, March 13, 2013 file photo, Natalie Maines performs with Ben Harper during the SXSW Music Festival, in Austin, Texas. Maines doesn’t know if the Dixie Chicks will ever write new music again. But a decade since her putdown of then-President George W. Bush altered the fate and fortunes of the Grammy-winning band that Maines now calls “tainted,” she tells The Associated Press she likes being a housewife and is still somewhat surprised to play to empty seats.
