Terri Clark is tired of people asking her why she's not going to be on the upcoming Lilith Fair tour. To avoid answering each person individually, Terri posted a message on Facebook saying, "Friends . . . It was by no choice of mine that I did not join the Lilith fair lineup . . . We did everything short of stalking the talent booker and (tour founder) Sarah (McLachlan) herself. We were too late with our pitch and they had already booked their country acts, so unfortunately I missed out this time around. It's killing me to not be a part of this. Just wanted to respond as I have been asked this question daily lately-sigh."
