I am responding to the first few posts, where someone said it wasn't a big deal....I think it is on both parts. I am an R Kelly fan and I hate country music period but I think what both artists were wrong. Even though one broke a law and one didn't but the important thing is the image they put out. Do we really want to support an artist who turns their back on their country...I am a military brat and I find it very insulting when people bash anything about America especially when Americans are dying for their right to say S*** like that.
As for the R.kelly thing- its really hard to compare that situation to the dixie chicks because one appears to be about patriotism and one is straight up child abuse. However, I didn't stop listening to rkelly but i did stop buying his cds, instead I burn. My philosophy is if I don't respect you I am going to burn your cd versus buying it. I love hard core rap that is repetitive and full of swearing but I don't respect what some artists stand for so I don't buy, I burn.
Sorry so long but I get opinionated.
