If the Dixie Chicks can't stand the heat, then they better get out of the kitchen. Bruce just assumes that it's corporate censorship...but then after he made this comment it was shown that this was the view of the listening public.
hmmm.. By banning their music, the radio stations are telling people what they should be thinking... if the radio stations were just treating it as music, and projecting that message, most people would accept it. It's only because there's so much made out of it that people are so again'st them... Same as the press over here. There are people who don't like Tony Blair, doesn't matter what he does. But the majority will read a few newspaper headlines that critisise him, and they'll decide they don't like him, or he's doing a bad job. Same with this, of cource there are going to be people against, but the people who are listening, and hearing how it's anitamerican, they're not going to play them e.t.c accept this line...
