The stations here in Savannah have done that this morning, too. After they played "Have You Forgotten", the DJ came on and said that he had "bumped" a Dixie Chicks song so that he could play that one. Then he and his co-host went on a rant against the Chicks.

in addition, to worley --Play Clint Blacks "Iraq and Roll" and toby's "courtesy of the red, white and blue" and lee greenwood's "god bless the u.s.a." and merle haggard's "fightin side of me" aaraon tippin's "where the stars and stripes and the eagles fly."

Just heard about "Iraq and Roll" yesterday. I'm waiting patiently for a copy to show up in the mail. Have been playing a song by a local guy named Pat Garrett called "The Saddam Stomp" though.

[dixierose]

I haven't gotten to see him sing it...and I haven't seen the video yet either. I bet the video of that song is great.

Someone just called up the local station and actually agreed with the Dixie Hicks. This lady said that she thinks the direction that country music is headed concerning the war is wrong. All I can tell her is turn the station. She was definately a minority though (thank goodness)

Actually, Ithaca makes Berkley look like, I dunno, Peoria,IL.

In any event, I was basing the airplay comment on several articles I read, at FR and elsewhere, that said a number of programmers nationwide were refusing to play Daryl's song.
