I also know people who never bought a Dixie Chicks CD until they made those comments, and now they're fans because of their political beliefs. Both actions are dumb -- listen to music for its artistry, who cares about their personal political beliefs. That being said, it's a shame to see a band cancel a show before they even put tickets on sale. Why not downsize and have the show at a smaller (but still respectable) venue, like Verizon Wireless? It has to be greed.</p>
