I listen to both R. Kelly and the Dixie Chicks and if you can remember when the R.Kelly thing first went down, people were boycotting his cd, and banning his music from some radio stations. You have to keep in mind that the R.Kelly fan base and the Dixie Chicks fan base is pretty different and if the majority of people who listen to Dixie Chicks are conservatives, then of course they would be more offended by Natalie's comment. I personally did not stop listening to either R. Kelly or Dixie Chics throughout either of their fiascos. I like their music and I could care less about their political views or what they do in their spare time. Its entertainment so enjoy it.
If anything...I did go out and buy the Dixie Chics cd soon after I heard about the drama because I do believe people are blowing this whole thing
WAY out of proportion . Its really not that big a deal. BTW, the new Dixie Chicks CD is great.
