The Dixie Chicks wont be playing OKC in the foreseeable future mainly to their actions on May 21,2003-In which they had their security goons toss fans who wore pro-Bush shirts to the show, Including tossing a couple of 10 yr old girls who were big DC fans but wore shirts in support of their Father who is a member of the US Air Force who was serving overseas (He is stationed at Tinker AFB in Midwest City-An OKC suburb) but the shirts mentioned nothing as being pro-Bush. Those incidents made TV headlines here and that caused me to lose any respect I had towards the D.C.'s
The D.C. actions caused a major backlash here in OKC, making them look very hypocritical in regards to free speech. So much that OKC country stations will not play any of their music - Thus the (supposed) poor ticket sales for their canceled Sept.26,2006 show.
None of the Anti-Bush remarks hurt 'em in OKC, but playing "prima-donnas" and asking the Ford Center to remove any/all ads which featured OKC resident (Ford Motor Company spokesman) Toby Keith or they would refuse to play was somewhat childish....Trust me, Pearl Jam slammed Bush way harder than the DC's EVER did, and PJ did it at the OKC show in 2003 (Which was released as part of the PJ "Official Bootleg" CD series - Funny **** too!!!)
