Dixie Chicks Boycott Starts
Controversial Comment Starts Phones Ringing"I think you should boycott them," said a caller to Cat Country 106.7
A poll taken by Cat Country said nearly 75 percent of its listeners were offended by Maines' remark.
Even though the Dixie Chicks have the No. 1 song and album in the country right now, many patriotic people in the Susquehanna Valley don't want to hear them.
"Central Pennsylvania is one of the largest areas for deployment in this country and there's a lot of military families out there who feel very strong for President Bush, and for her to come out and bash President Bush and say that she's embarrassed that he lives in Texas, it really hit some hot buttons with a lot of our listeners," said Dennis Mitchell, with Cat Country.
The station labeled Friday, "Dixie Chick Free Friday," and it is leaving it up to the listeners to decide how long that will last.

That's actually a pretty mild one.
