Hard to believe, but in recent years I had forgotten all about the big Dixie Chicks controversy back in 2003. But a couple of recent articles by writer Phyllis Stark--one about Chicks music finding its way back onto the country airwaves, the other about programmers still quite wary of playing it--stirred some memories and opened a line of thinking.

Last night was the final concert at Roberts Stadium in Evansville, Indiana with Kenny Chesney & Uncle Kracker. Roberts Stadium has been a landmark in Evansville since 1956 with visits from Presidents, Elvis Presley, WWE, monster trucks, baskeball games, rodeos, The Harlem Globetrotters, boxing, superstars like Garth Brooks was there in the 90's & WBKR played a major part Garth being there,

I often wonder about the political philosophies of country musicians.
