"Rabble-rousing songs by Toby Keith and Darryl Worley"

Rabble rousing?????

"The environment, she says, may be leading to self-censorship"

Didn't that used to be called using good judgement or self-discipline or just a sense of propriety? Good grief these idiots are touchy!

"...the Dixie Chicks' right to be on the radio"

That's a right now??? I don't remember that one. I guess I must have been absent from civics' class that day.

"I think that tolerance is evaporating in society at large"

I think the author is being overly optimistic. < /sarcasm > But even if that were true, that would be a step in the right direction in my opinion. We have for far too long tolerated much more than we ever ought to have.

" Tim McGraw added video of troops being deployed to Iraq to his performance of The Cowboy In Me. Lonestar made a new video of the 2-year-old hit I'm Already There into yet another tribute to the troops"

Is it just me, or is there a venomous contempt for the troops seeping out of this whine?

"'When those albums diminished, there wasn't another swell of females behind them to fill that void.''

I'm so glad the NOW nazi quarter has been heard from. Sheesh. How about the natural ebb and flow of the industry, moron?

"That could be remedied to a large degree, he notes, by getting past the Dixie Chicks controversy and getting them back on the air."

That's all fine and good, but what is the good of putting them back on the air if the listeners don't want to hear them? Oh, I guess it must be that right to be on the radio thing again.
