"The campaign worked, and the Chicks' current tour for their new album is being booked at venues half the size of their previous tour"

I think it was in Minneapolis they suffered a 75% hit in their concert attendance from their prior vist a year or two before.

...they (Dixie Chicks) suffered a 75% hit in their concert attendance from their prior vist a year or two before.

The other thing that made me smile was the fact, as mentioned in another article, that the Chicks CHOSE to take a PERCENTAGE of the concert tour rather than the generous GUARANTEED $$ AMOUNT which was offered by the record company.

The Chicks, at the time, told their promoters that they were certain their anti-Bush rants would make them ever more popular with the music listening public.

According to industry experts, however, the Chicks lost millions of $$$ due to their self centered decision.

BwAaaaaaHaaaaa!
