I was on here the other night saying these comments wouldn't affect the Dixie Chicks' status one bit. After reading about all the station boycotts and hearing Imus slam them this morning, I have to admit I was way off. There's certainly a backlash here that I didn't see coming.

The DCs got started here in Dallas, and they're getting skewered on talk radio around here. Mark Davis, one of their biggest fans, says they've cooked their goose by dragging Texas into their anti-war remarks.

This was truly an Alec Baldwin moment that may ring the necsk of the Chicks.

Country Music Fans do not abound in the blue states like they do in the red states. My wife and I go to a lot of country shows at the Indian Ranch in Thompson, Ct and the people sitting in the stands are more likely to have an Army, Navy or Marine Corps tatoo than they are likely to be sipping wine and munching on bris.

When your main demographic is people that actually have a few values left and happen to be mostly consevative it's really not a good idea to illustrate your abject stupidity and hatred for President Bush. This shows how out of touch these people get once they aren't "one of the little people" anymore. I would say I hope they like playing at County Fairs, but I don't think they'll be much demand for them their either. Alas though, the public has a short memory and most don't really care.

Tempest in a teapot.

No one will remember it in about two weeks.
