If you don't like the Dixie Chicks, then you have the power to change stations rather than the station making that decision for you.<br /><br /> With regard to Gary Glitter what he did was reprehensible and he was punished for it - more severely than some - but again, ref media outlets, I resent other's second guessing the courts and making decisions for me. I can separate the 'artist' from the 'villain.' The time before, and the time after. <br /><br />Soapbox away :)Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-32598055063590528412011-07-15T10:54:57.548-07:002011-07-15T10:54:57.548-07:00You need to put a warning before you post a pictur...You need to put a warning before you post a picture like that. <br /><br />My retinas! They burn.<br /><br />As for justice, I only feel sorry for his band.<br /><br />Gary Glitter didn't make it to the states--I'm sure I would've remembered the shiny suit.<br /><br />The last flare up we had was with the Dixie Chicks. After they started running their mouths off about President Bush at a concert in the UK, they came home to a less than welcome reception. Radio stations all over Texas started banning their songs. Even I turned the channel if a rogue station defied the majority and played them anyway.<br /><br />It was totally disrespectful and arrogant on their part. No country station (that I'm aware of) plays them anymore. I think they crossed over to other genres. But since I never hear them, they're invisble.<br /><br />It's a shame because they're talented. And stupid for thinking fans are going to follow them blindly.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.com
