Wow. I'm having dejvu from a conversation earlier today.
Leo - Once again I thank you for bringing intelligent arguments to the discussion instead of just getting all huffy. And there have been added shows in more liberal markets such as Chicago, Phildelphia and Toronto.

Katie, I think the blackball by the country world is almost amusing. But considering the country music foundation lays, I'm not suprised. The pop world has been welcoming and they may have found a new market.
It makes me so happy that a group who received death threats over comments they made (al-beit in another country) has stood their ground and has come back, regardless of what people think of them. I'd be so disappointed if they just "shut up" because another group of people with different views then them said so. And it makes me happy that their album sales are strong, they are adding shows and have risen to the #1 spot on music stations. The "liberal voice" is gaining steam. I have hope.
And on that note, I just got home from a wonderful, exhausting day at the park with a great group of people and I am going to bed.
Good night!
