The following is from CNN.com

In a March 10 concert in London, England, Maines told the crowd: "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." The group also hails from the Lone Star State. Maines apologized for her comments later that week, but the damage was done: A number of country music radio stations stopped playing the group's songs, and some organizations sponsored bonfires in which the group's CDs were destroyed

I just wondered what you guys all thought about this. Alot of radio stations across the country and particularly in the south are refusing to play any of thier music now. In a way I think its wrong for people who were once fans of thier music to turn on them just because they spoke out about how they feel in regurds to president Bush.

I mean it is our right to express our feelings about our governement verbally. But then again we must also take responsibilty for what we say. It would have been different had she simply stated she were against what president Bush was doing...what she said was more like a personal attack on his character. I think she made her bed and now they have to lie in it. If people who were once fans of thiers want to boycot them thats fine but I know for sure thet I would NEVER turn on any of my favorite bands just because they said something I didnt agree with . What do you all think ?
