I haven't heard this song since I don't listen to country radio; the only country radio we have around here is the typical Clear Channel crap. It's an interesting story, though.

I don't plaster my political views on my car, for the same reason that I don't play my music loud enough for others to hear it - it is just obnoxious. But, this is over the top. A Marine sticker is offensive? I don't know if I could have resisted the urge to drive that nutcase off of the road.

Here's the last paragraph of the story. Chely says she has "questions" about the situation in Iraq, but can ask them because we are free. Then she says:

"Nobody is pro-war," she continues. "Good God, what kind of an idiot is for war? But as long as we've got men and women on the ground risking life and limb to protect my freedom and to protect that lady's freedom to flip me the bird, I feel an obligation to take 10 days out of my busy life pretending to be a country music singer" and go perform for the troops.

I heard this song a couple of weeks ago. Haven't listened to my country station since, for fear of hearing it again.

Chely is a great singer, i would kiss each of her butt-cheeks in succession if only she would ask!

[PleaseNoMore]

It's a good song.

Hopefully Ms. Wright has nothing to do with her fan club's immoral activities in regards to where this song is at on the chart. It appears she is upset that some of her fan club members were calling/emailing radio stations and posing as members of the military or their families in some kind of misguided quest to drive the song up the charts.

Campaign of deception used to push patriotic song up charts


By JEANNE ANNE NAUJECK

Country singer Chely Wright said yesterday she was dismissing the head of her fan club and shutting down a team of volunteers after The Tennessean learned that some of them posed as members of the military or their families to promote her latest song.

Seventeen members of a handpicked team of fans contacted radio stations around the country asking for more airplay for Wright's pro-military ballad, The Bumper of My SUV. It was all part of an organized campaign by leaders of the fan club who encouraged the team to do such things as ''tell 'em your husband is a marine — whatever it takes.''
