There are plenty of bands that are screaming out everything they feel like they're little hearts wanna say, and you often hear dissent on the rock stations.
The deal with the Dixie Chicks is they are a band that plays for the Good ol' Boys and middle America. They pissed off their audience, who is a bunch of flag waving yokels. So now they're all upset at who they see as their cousin's kin-folk as talkin' naughty about the beloved president.
If the Dixie Chicks were a rock band or sounded like Rage Against the Machine and played to that crowd, no one would have ever noticed.
It's like when Pat Boone came out wearing the heavy metal outfit and all the X'ians went apeshit and disowned him.
