The Country stations are boycotting them because of that comment Natalie made. As Imus said they made it in a foreign country, and should have made it in Texas. Imus loves their music, but they have to realize that they will lose much of their country audience (biggots) when they yack on politics. Hopefully their talent and crossover fans will help them.
