At the risk of stereotyping, if I'm a Country music artist, what political
bent will the clear majority of my fans have? Conservative! Whether the
Dixie Chick that spoke up feels the need to vent or not, the fact remains
that of all the musical genres, taking the (at least perceived) anti
Conserviative, anti Patriotic view is bad marketing.

That's exactly why I respect what Ms Maines did.  She could have kept quiet and gone along and now she is paying with the Cumulus decision.  I fault Cumulus for what I consider nothing short of McCarthyism and blacklisting
