I don't care about people's politics.  That's what most radio programmers will tell you to your face.  But in the case of the Dixie Chicks, this is a lie.  The fact is, programmers do care about politics ... to the extent that if the people don't like what an artist says lyrically in person or in song, the pd won't play the record.  That sucks.  The new chicks cd stands out heads and tails over nearly everything else in the Adult Pop/Rock/Folk/Country vein right now ... but some people are so narrow minded they'll never get it.  Too bad.
