Dixie Chicks pulled from air after bashing Bush


DALLAS, Texas (Reuters) --There are a lot worse things in country music than
your wife leaving you or your dog dying. There's stations not playing your
music because you done gone and said some things against the president.

Music superstars the Dixie Chicks are finding out that criticizing President
Bush's plans for war in Iraq can cost you air play, big time.

One station in Kansas City, Missouri held a Dixie "chicken toss" party
Friday morning, where Chick critics were encouraged to dump the group's
tapes, CDs and concert tickets into trash cans.

[ well at least they did not start burning books]
