Interesting Stuff
In the early days, the Chicks took care of all their own business. Natalie was the band accountant/office manager.
Aside from all her chick tattoos, Natalie has another tattoo on her right ankle. It's the world with the Latin word for peace on it.
Nat claims to know every word to the movie Grease, and the title of the song Sin Wagon comes from one of Olivia Newton-John's lines in the film.
Martie and Emily say Natalie is the most outgoing of the group and the one most open to doing bizarre things. (Now doesn't that really go without saying?)
Natalie has never had a cavity. (Wow!)
She "melted" two microphones with that powerful voice during the recording of the Fly album.
Martie once wrote Natalie's home phone number on a photo she autographed for a fan!
