Dateline: Greensboro, NC
American Idol star Chris Daughtry returned for a coming home celebration in McLeansville, North Carolina. On Saturday, June 3, he performed a few songs at the McLeansville shopping center and then with his band ABSENT ELEMENT at Jamieson Stadium in Greensboro.
But there is a part of the story that you probably didn't read. The show was hosted on stage by CLASSIC ROCK 92, an FM station in Greensboro.
Among the announcements made by the DJs was that they would be giving away tickets to the upcoming concert by the Dixie Chicks. When that announcement was made, there was substantial booing from the crowd. It was a pleasure to be there in person and hear it. Greensboro says no to fifth columnists.
even better sox sweep detroit or oilers get back against canes
Am I the only one that's thoroughly insulted that they use the word 'DIXIE' in their name ? Mr. President, I'm ashamed THEY were ever in Dixie. Their heart sure isn't. Why can't we demand a name change from them ? They along with Streisand and McGraw/Hill are perfect examples that money and fame go straight to your head when there's nothing else in it.

As much as I like newcon's answer (#20), yours is the winner.
Great news! Thanks.
Amen! The DC (and their handlers) need to review Business Lesson 101A:
All right. I was just briefly on Laura Ingraham mentioning the booing. She, of course, loved it.
I believe it was a fellow Freeper on the multitudinous threads back when the "unpleasantness" first happened.
This is just a guess, but I'm thinking the rest of the crowd of new Dixie Chicks fans will be made of butch lesbians who will give you dirty looks.
I make this prediction because that's probably their new fan base.
You're probably right. What I think would be hilarious is if they tried to cross over to rock. They'd have similar results to Air America's tweak in format.
AA had a format-change? What did they step up to, ACTUAL trained monkeys as hosts?
> fifth column n. The Fourth Estate.
So now promoters are sinking to the need to GIVE AWAY tickets for Ditzie Chix concerts?!!!
Local radio stations always have contests to give away a certain number of concert tickets.
