All of our local good 'ol boy patriotic country radio stations stopped playing any Dixie Chicks music as soon as Natalie Maines made her comment about being embarrassed that GWB was from her home state of Texas, and they still don't play their music almost 10 years later. But there hasn't been so much as a murmur from them about what Hank Jr. had to say even though (at least in my mind) it was considerably more derogatory. Actually, i believe their career went in the toilet with regard to country music fans when they decided to get into it with Toby Keith, and the Dixie Chicks came to realize that you can insult the president but you don't fuck with Toby Keith. Just say'in. That is when they really started to get pulled, which i am SOOO glad lol. But i think part of the initial issue was WHERE they said it and to whom. I bet if they had said it at home to Americans, they wouldn't have had such a backlash. And didn't they apologize? I think that irritated a lot of people also. angel Keith fucked himself forever when he snitched out Willie Nelson for pot. Most Nelson fans I know haven`t forgotten he`s a little twit for that. Actually, DC and TK were having it out almost a full year before the comment about Bush. What started it? Whether you love it or hate it, Toby Keith definitely struck a nerve with his 2002 chart-topping single, "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)." When Natalie Maines expressed her opinion during an Aug. 8, 2002, interview with L.A. Daily News writer Fred Shuster, it began a series of public exchanges between the Dixie Chicks' lead vocalist and Keith. "She said that anyone could write a song with lyrics like 'let's go kick some Iraqi ass,'" Shuster said in an interview for the CMT News special, Natalie vs. Toby: Both Sides of the War. "She said it made everyone look stupid -- the singer, the audience, country music radio ... anyone who would play a song so blatantly jingoistic." He stayed at #1, they were at #4
