Country radio nixes Dixie Chicks

NASHVILLLE, Tenn., May 22 (UPI) -- It appears the war U.S. country radio stations mounted against the politically outspoken Dixie Chicks has not abated in the least.

The band is promoting "Taking the Long Way," its first album since Natalie Maines told a London audience in 2003 she was ashamed to be from the same state as U.S. President George Bush. The comment sparked a radio boycott of the group's music.

Although the album hits stores Tuesday, the first two singles from the album are not getting widespread airplay, Billboard.com reported Monday.

The first single, "Not Ready to Make Nice," only peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and the second single, "Everybody Knows," is moving downward after its peak at No. 48.

I thought these 'bimbos' went back to slinging hash in some 'Texas Roadhouse', apparently that's not the case. While I have many issues with Bush & Co entertainers should just STFU and entertain because 'no one cares about their political opinions.' Of course you have be be real entertainers in the first place and not 'Roadhouse Bimbos' to entertain anyone who isn't drunk on 'Longhorn Beer'.
