Actually, I think Springsteen is wrong to say the criticism the Dixie Chicks are getting is un-American.If anything it is completely American since the last I checked the U.S is a democracy.If you open your mouth and take a stand,especially if your a public figure,you deserve to get what ever is thrown back at you.If Microsoft says everyone who buys their software are idiots,or if Ford says people who drive their trunks are assholes then they deserve whatever shortcomings that come there way.It doesn't mean people can't have an opinion,but more often then not people shoot their mouths off and then regret it.If the Dixie Chicks still stand by what they say so be it.The other people who disagree with them have every right to not support them or their music if they don't want to.

That's right.. by that same token then Trent Lott should still be in office, Sinead O'Connor would have had more albums... but because people don't like what you had to say...
It's quite american. People don't just vote with their ballots but with their eyeballs and wallets.
