Welcome to IWETHEY!

New What?
I thought this subthread was about the corp inspired "boycott" of the Dixie Chicks. I bring up the fact that they have lost virtually no sales since the infamous "remark" and you say Bush is from Texas. Huh?
The world is only a simple place to the simple.
New Re: What?
As such, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the response in Texas(to the statement) was different than other parts of the country.

New this is exactly what I was saying
that because Bush is from Texas, what I was seeing could be different than what you were seeing:

[link|http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/ae/music/jump/1902341|Dixie Chicks still ruffling feathers in Houston]
More than 8,500 votes were cast in the unscientific poll, with 56 percent voting against bringing the Chicks' music back. So for now, they remain banned from Houston's two leading country stations.
...
Around the nation, the Chicks are making it back onto country radio. Consultant Rusty Walker estimates that 75 of the 100 country stations he advises have begun playing their music again.

But Houston remains down on the Chicks, because there is a "more traditional country audience" in Houston and strong support for Texas politician Bush, Walker said.

The results of The Chronicle's survey(time of this post)
Is it time to put the Dixie Chicks back on the radio?

Yes, I really miss them: - 26%
No, I'll stop listening if they do: - 45%
Who cares, this whole thing has gotten old: - 25%
My radio gets bad reception: - 4%
