Not really...can't hear em here    Local Country Stations threw their stuff out.  Maybe they can tour France tho?

[Dingbat]

I love the comment about them being anti american, I didn't see and anti american comment.  I saw an anti bush comment

[Lizard3]

At this time and at that place(overseas) to play to a crowd and express shame at the Commander and Chief of thousands of fellas about to go off to war is, IMO, anti-american. Obviously there are a number of Americans who feel as I do.

Freedom of speak ?

Fatty shoulda just kept using her mouth for eating hostess cupcakes.

Cool now dont feel so bad about downloading all those songs.

its interesting and scary that in a nation founded on dissent, and holds the freedom to say what you feel in supposedly high regard, that this would cause such a big fuss. Its also a shame that they felt they had to apologise for their comments. The message here is that unless you jackboot the party line, you are un American.  its so ridiculous.


so much for the 'land of the free'

Ooooops....

How dare they assume that country music fans would be understanding of dissent!!

A few fans suggested the group change its name to "Terrorist Chicks."

"Dump that anti-America group. Obviously, this group intends to give aid and comfort to a known killer of the innocent,"

Let them go give a concert in Baghdad

In Bossier City, La., KRMD organized a"Dixie Chicks Destruction," running over CDs with a tractor

midnight Target, those are really frightening quotes,


they aren't really that much different than the Islamic fundamentalists' mindset are they?

Someday, entertainers will learn that when people see a concert or watch a show, that we don't give a crap about their political opinions.  It's bad enough that we have to shell out US$50 to see/hear you perform a song on a CD that we paid US$15 for.  We didn't pay to hear you talk politics.

Freedom goes both ways, she has the freedom to say what she wants.

But you seem to think the fans do not have the freedom to be pissed about it? No one is saying she can't say it, and I am sure she only apoligised cause she was worried about money. I would bet no one made her do it.

The fans have the freedom to toss their CDs, and to dislike the band for making a statement they don't like.

That's the American way...

Exactly what I was going to say.  You beat me to it. Freedom at its best.
