The Dixie Chicks

We saw them live just after the initial blow up. Personally I could care less who they like/dislike politically. It was a fun show.

But although I agree with them, and they do have the right to say whatever they want. I also agree that fans who disagree and don't buy their product have the right to do that as well. What kind of bothers me is the apparent "blackball" by country radio. Now honestly I can't say if that's a management dicision based on politics or lack of fan demand but considering how many albums have sold with apparently little or no country airplay it seems a bit odd.

Personally I think it's fine if celebrities want to show their political affiliations but there is some consequence for doing so. And I guess that's the price you pay for going public with your opinions if you are a public persona. In my opinion the controversy around their initial statments was way overblown and silly, I mean death threats? Just don't buy their product.
