This is from USAToday:
"...Natalie Maines' comments about President Bush cost the Dixie Chicks the top spot on the Billboard country singles chart this week. Airplay for Travelin' Soldier, which had hit No. 1 the previous week, dropped 15% last week. Nearly all the decline came late in the week after reports that Maines told a London concert audience, "We're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas..."
She was so stupid!
I mean, people like us can express our dislike toward Bush because we know our words holds not much importance since we all know what this forum is about and we are joking in most case. But they are famous singers on a tour! Their words can be easily heard by many people, and the words spread quickly! Now they just totally wasted themselves.
Remember that 1 million dollars bail for that dude because he burned an American flag? I'm fine with all these shit but this is all about symbolism. All you have to do is to add some flavor on that symbol then you can piss off the entire bee hive. If she doesn't like Bush, she can say it to herself. She simply forget how much publicity her group has now, and forget how much their words weighs.
