Where I live in the middle of the USA the country music radio stations very very very seldom play any of the Dixie Chicks songs. I liked some of their early recordings (Earl's Gotta Die). Have they been completed bansished from the country music scene?

Sorry for the typo. I meant "completely banished" not "completed."

Yes they still do, I think they are great and got a bad rap for speaking their minds. I know they spoke bad about our president, but look what the rest of the nation has done when talking about Bush. They apparently knew something we didn't. And it wasn't like they threatened him...So I think radio stations should start playing their music. It's a new year, quit holding grudges.

I don't think they're necessarily hated for it anymore, but I haven't heard them on the radio, so I'm guessing that boycott is still in place. They took a big hit because when Natalie Maines said that, they were promoting their album "Home", more specifically the song "Travelin' Soldier." That song was on top of the charts until she made a comment about Bush, and radio stations stopped playing it and obviously, the song plummeted. I think they are a wonderful talent, but Natalie Maines needs to learn to keep her mouth closed sometimes.

I am up in Canada and We love them, they still play their songs and when all the controversy was happening, they played the hell out of "Travelling Soldier" The only thing I didnt like was when they went on tour, they did so well in Canada that they overcharged for tickets, they were really expensive. I wanted to go see them but I was due with my son within a week of the concert. I love the chicks and we would be ashamed of Bush too, I am actually ashamed of our current PM for being so up Bushes ***.

They would if someone requested them - but they're pretty much out of the loop right now.

I haven't heard too much of them lately on the radio. I think you're on to something.

Yes, the station I listen to never stopped playing them. In fact, after the controversy (which was simply absurd) they played more of them. I will always stand by the Chicks.
Note to your_unc...: The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech. I lived in Tx when Bush was Gov....yeesh, what an idiot he is/was/and will always be. I don't care if he is president, he is not my president and I believe the Chicks had every right to say what they did. This does not make me a myrtr. I have ALWAYS loved the Chicks music and always will. I don't agree with Toby Keith's politics, but I like his music anyway.
Learn some tolerance and acceptance.
