True story:

The following happened when they were in the high time of their career, they had a golden or platinum album, I forget which, maybe they had several. Doesn't matter.

Natalie's parents lived around the corner from me in Austin. A friend and co-worker also lived in the the same neighborhood, just a block away. She came home from work one evening with a package on her doorstep. She was always ordering from various outfitters and thought nothing to open this particular package with out checking the addressee or sender. Turns out it was not for her, but was intended to be delivered to Natalie's parents. Inside was their golden or platinum album.

The next day she hand delivered the package to the Maines' residence, and apologized for opening it. They were absolutely irate that she had opened it, and certainly not grateful that she had taken the time to bring it to them. In my opinion, they are the kind of people you just don't want to be around, and their children most likely have those characteristics also instilled in them.

I haven't listened to their stuff since, and it came as no surprise to me hearing they disgraced themselves and America.
