I've listened to some of their music and liked it, but have never bought any of their CDs, so my not buying any now isn't really a boycott. However I DO buy about $100 worth of tea each year. From now on, none of it will be Lipton tea.
In response to "Little Miss Softball's" question, "Why did you say it? Maines responded, "At that moment, on the eve of war, I had a lot of questions that I felt were unanswered."

I guess I'm just a dumb fan because I missed what question Natalie Maines was asking when she said that she was ashamed that Bush was from Texas. {from NYCVirago...post #124}

Best overall summation of ceb libs? Jim Scott:
A Natalie Maines gets to trumpet her political views to the world with a fame megaphone while the rest of us, the non-famous folks that support these actors & singers, cannot have the same opportunity & then, when we are angered by a Dixie Chicks remark, we are said to be 'mean' & other self-serving nonsense by the same pampered people who seem to believe they have some special right to pontificate that no one can disagree with. Sorry, not in the real world, Natalie.
