Had David Crosby of the political '70s folk-rock act Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young made the same statement about then President Nixon, that he was ashamed the president came from his home state of California, as the Vietnam War raged with body bags by the dozens coming home day after day, the media and public would have chalked up the incident as hippie talk and nothing more.

I see that the Dixie Chicks, who are being "so warmly received everywhere," had their album fall on the Billboard charts this past week from 31 to 46. Tours are supposed to help album sales, not hurt them.

I reckon Ms. Maines' exercise of her free speech has cost the group at least several million dollars in the short term, and maybe much more long term. But, then, this is about principles, not cash, right? So what are they complaining about? LOL
