Country radio won't forgive Dixie Chicks

NASHVILLE, Tenn.  — Country radio still isn’t ready to make nice with the Dixie Chicks.
With a haul of Grammys Sunday, the Texas trio topped their comeback from their 2003 Bush-bashing comment that turned them from superstars to pariahs — but Music Row isn’t welcoming them back into the country-music fold.
“Most country stations aren’t playing the Chicks, and they aren’t going to start now,” said Jim Jacobs, owner of WTDR-FM, a country radio station in Talladega, Ala.
The awards might have the opposite effect, sparking another radio backlash against the group. Country broadcasters said Monday that the group’s five Grammys show how out of touch the Recording Academy is from the average country fan.

1. You should change your headline.

And taunt the Dixie Chicks into a new album and new tour, they would rise back to the top where they left off. This is so hypocritical that it's disgusting.

2. No. Country radio doesn't give a shit about Obama.

3. The Dixie Chicks made their comment in London at the beginning of the Iraq war

I think that's what royally pissed off so many Country fans. They considered it some kind of treason. I didn't realize they were still banned; but that's probably because I don't listen to Country music.

Now Western I can with. Chet Atkins anyone?

4. They never did quit playing the Dixie Chicks here.
