AceShowbiz - Country group Dixie Chicks used to have a quite number of supporting fans until lead singer Natalie Maines took a jab at George W. Bush back in 2003. While performing in London, ten days before U.S. and allied forces invade Iraq, the lead singer said to the crowd, "Just so you know, we're on good side y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas."
Once news of her comment reached U.S. citizen, country radio stations promptly stopped playing their music. Fans were also unhappy with the remark, leading to a nationwide boycott of the Dixie Chicks with fans destroying their memorabilia and country radio stations blacklisting them. Several country music artists such as Toby Keith also blasted them over the comment.
