weezy Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Well... the USA has always hailed itself as a "free" country. Baaaa ha ha!! How can it be free when you're persecuted for critisizing your government? To me, that's the most important freedom there is... What's to stop a horrible, bloodthirsty despot from taking over America and it's MANY MANY MANY weapons of mass destruction and destroying the world....... oh wait a minute..... These links all terrify me... send back the statue of liberty news clip this one is crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 bbc.com Radio shuns Dixies for Bush remark Country superstars the Dixie Chicks have been dropped from many US radio playlists after one of the singers criticised President Bush's stance on Iraq. Airplay for the group's songs is down 29% on country stations, and 20% on general music stations around the country, a monitoring group has said. The Texas female trio's CDs have been burned and smashed - and even run over by a tractor in one event organised by a Louisiana country station. It follows a remark by singer Natalie Maines in London that the group was "ashamed" that Mr Bush was from Texas. Radio stations reported receiving a flood of protests from listeners angered by the comment. Radio monitoring service Mediabase 24/7 said that airplay for the group had dropped on all US radio stations by about a fifth in a seven-day period. Mediabase president Rich Meyer said: "Radio generally reflects the mood of the country. "If radio perceives that its listeners are upset with the Dixie Chicks, they will respond accordingly." Mr Meyer said the group may have repaired some of the damage after Maines issued a public apology for her remark. In a statement she said: "As a concerned American citizen, I apologise to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. "I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect. "I just want to see every possible alternative exhausted before children and American soldiers' lives are lost. I love my country. I am a proud American." Despite the furore, the Grammy-winning group's album Home did not budge from the top spot in the country charts. Their single Travelin' Soldier fell briefly from the number one spot, but climbed back to the top again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
