I think what Steve (and others who have made similar comments) were trying to
say is that Clear Channel - or any company representative -never was quoted on
the record as saying such a ban was in place.

And, if that's what Steve, et al, are saying, I'd tend to agree.

The accurate statement in this case is: "Clear Channel, nor any of its
representatives, never acknowledged on the record to a ban of the Dixie
Chicks."

Whether or not they did in more clandestine channels remains up for debate.
