I’d boycott, but they’d never know it. It is like me boycotting Bruce Springsteen, Barbara Striesand, or the Dixie Chicks. How would they know?

Even if its only 10 % loss on sales it will have a big impact enough to make a dent.

They would know the same way the Dixie Chicks knew after they trashed president Bush while they were on tour in Europe.

They all but disappeared from the music scene as a result of their actions. They were a C&W group which of course made their popularity dependent on people from the South buying their music. Being so conservative, Southerners almost totally turned their backs on the group and many stations refused to play their music.

How would anyone know that anyone were boycotting the Dixie Chicks?

Oh they know. Was talking to someone who went into a Target last week that’s in a major close by city. She is usually oblivious about what’s going on and she said she realized that there were only TWO customers in the store, one of them being her. They only had two lines open and the cashier said it had been like that all week.
