Attention only garnered because it's anti-American.
Add x42 to that mix, OldFriend. There's something sick about adults who crave attention that much.
Yep. The Dixie Chicklets were liking the attention they got last year w their comments in the UK until they got home. One would think that they'd learn to keep their mouths shut after that but, oh noooo, just when they thought it was save to bloviate again they did. The media may love them, but clearly some of the red states in the south and midwest don't (neener neener neener). I read another article last week that they'd be cancelling and changing some venues because of the low ticket sales.

Industry watchers say some radio stations are extending their boycott of the group's recordings to include advertising bans for Dixie Chicks concerts.
"Obviously there are political overtones to this as well," says Gary Bongiovanni, editor of Pollstar, the concert industry trade publication. "It personally bothers me when I hear that two country stations in Atlanta have refused to accept advertising for the show at Philips Arena, which at this point is not selling well. These shows are in September, so I think it's a little early to be panicking."
