Radio is still upset with the band's loose-lipped members — singer Natalie Maines, fiddler Martie Maguire and banjoist Emily Robison — who publicly requested a divorce from the country format earlier this year. The trouble started in London in 2003 when Maines made critical remarks about President Bush during a show.
The group's music was banned from several mainstream country playlists, including local country stations KILT (100.3 FM) and KKBQ (92.9 FM). And the shoulder got colder this summer.
A country station making a rule not to play something OTHER than country. Imagine that.

Why does the media act like this is new? They've been insulting country music fans since their first non apology apology. They've been slamming Toby Keith for years.
