I'm bored with the Dixie Chicks. I don't care for country music to begin with, so they never had any musical appeal for me. But most of the attention they get now is because they don't like President Bush. So they are on the cover of Time as far as I can tell because they are so mad at the President they don't care about their careers and they're gratuitously insulting other country music people: "I'd rather have a small following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith," Maguire said. "We don't want those kinds of fans. They limit what you can do." OK, like companies that want better customers, the Chicks want better fans. Don't worry, my five-disc changer won't contaminate your CDs with Reba's or Toby's, and that's because I want those kinds of musicians because I don't want to limit myself to their kind of crappy music.

Are you saying that the only reason the Dixie Chicks are being featured on NPR is because they hate Bush? Well, if you aren't, then I am.
How many country artists are ever on the cover of Time? And if they are featured on NPR, do they get the star treatment or the curiosity treatment? So yes, it has everything to do with their politics and nothing to do with their music.
Ms. Maguire doesn't want fans, she wants her mother - people who will love her no matter what.
