I'm not a big fan of country music because of the way it sounds, not because of anyone's politics on either side. I think Tim McGraw is "one of the guys who wears a cowboy hat", but that doesn't narrow it down much, does it?
If one were a fan of his singing (can anyone tell me a song title of his, to help me place him?), this announcement of his wouldn't affect whether I liked his music or not. The furore over the Dixie Chicks was so intense it actually MADE me buy one of their albums, to see what the fuss was about.
(And what good does it do to throw away CDs you've already bought?)
Just asking. Maybe someone can fill me in. I've just never "boycotted" entertainers based on their political announcements; I let them all slide by since they don't affect my politics at all.

How'd that work out for you?
