I see it as a perfect comparison. Explain why you don't.
Artists are a form of business. If a business says something that their customers don't like, their customers will not purchase their goods. This puts less money in the pockets of the business, and reduces their opportunity to spread their message.
The Dixie Chicks made a statement that many fans didn't agree with, now the fans have begun a boycott. In my example, Pepsi made a statement that their consumers didn't agree with, so the consumers began a boycott. I fail to see how this is an invalid comparison.
