1. We need a Dixie Chicks section. :D

[AndyTiedye]

8. I Second the Request for a Dixie Chicks Section

Let's have a Dixie Chicks section on DU,
at least for the duration of their tour.

We might have meetups at some of the shows.

I did go to one of their shows on their previous tour.
It was really good.

The Dixie Chicks are everything that country music should be, but rarely is.

This story:

might be what prompted the poll.

9. False dichotomy.

If fewer than half of respondents say they would attend a DC concert, it will be trumpeted as evidence of their unpopularity. Imagine, though, how much money an act would make if "only" 40% of the adult population saw them on tour!

10. Right and this poll also assumes that ...

people who wouldn't go would be staying away because of the singers' politics, but that isn't true at all. Some people just don't like that kind of music. So, what exactly is this poll supposed to mean?

[Synnical]

17. Right - there's no way I'd attend a Dixie Chicks concert

The lead singer's voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. So, I'm not responding to this poll in silent support of their right to speak out - just so long as I don't have to actually listen! :P

[ComerPerro]

12. No kidding. I wouldn't got to an Aerosmith concert,

but that doesn't indicate how I feel about their politics or them personally

[OregonBlue]

11. Not working for me. Won't let me vote.
