Savannah Radio "Not Ready to Play Nice" With Dixie Chicks
Not Ready to Play
You won’t be hearing The Dixie Chicks new songs on Gator 106.9. Program Director Laura Anderson says they tried playing the single "Not Ready to Play Nice" in light rotation for a couple of weeks but response from listeners was overwhelmingly negative. One Clear Channel regional vice president Steve Gramzay, described the song as showing "arrogance and disrespect." Clear Channel owns Savannah country station Kix 96.

Home girls! So ther are some really cool people in Savannah. Just not the Bush fans. We are seeing lots of no W signs in Bush country.
To be fair what passes for 99% of all pop music you will hear on the radio is crap.
The hip-hop crap they play nowadays is laughably lame. I could do a typical music track in a day - they are ALL THE SAME.
"Pop" music, a la American Idol, is pointless pap. "Alternative rock" is no alternative, 90% of it sounds exactly alike with all the vocalists copying each others's style. Like movies, many bands opt to do a poor imitation of what has come before.
Thank god for the internet, where a person can seek out real music. You are not going to hear anything but shit on the radio, people with record deals are businessmen/businesswomen, not artists.
It wasn't WKHX "Kicks 101" was it?
I remember back in the 1980s, WKHX used to run TV ads featuring a really good-looking woman, trying (I thought) to make listening to country music a hip and sexy thing to do (I left the States in 1986 so I don't have any more recent memories of any country music stations). Seeing those ads always made me think, first, that the "adult contemporary" market the ads were obviously aimed at were not people who would switch to country music simply because a hot woman on TV invited them to and, second, that die-hard traditional country fans probably wouldn't like the watered-down country format offered by WKHX either.
I have no idea if I was right about either of my theories though.
Last night on Letterman
I watched and listened to the Dixie Chicks sing Not Ready to Play Nice. It is a beautiful tune.
The last part of the song, sung by Ms. Maines gave me chills. Although I am not a country music fan, I would buy the cd, just for that song.
I ordered their cd
I don't normally listen to popular country music, but in light of the way they have been treated just because Natalie Maines expressed herself, I have ordered not only the new one, but two of their other cd's as well. I am sick of these women being treated as outcasts and traitors for exercising their right to speak their mind. I urge everyone to help this new cd and the Dixie Chicks by buying the new one, even if you don't like this kind of music. You could always give it as a gift.
They could have at least gotten the name of the song right...
they tried playing the single "Not Ready to Play Nice"...
Umm. It's called 'Not Ready To Make Nice.'
These guys are in radio??
Turn on VH1
They play the video over and over!
Ooh... "arrogance and disrespect"
And country radio just couldn't have any of that, now could it? What a stupid pronouncement on the part of this radio dude. Does he even consider the amount of "arrogance and disrespect" in the average Toby Keith song? He's had a number that are rude, mean, downright stupid, etc. I just wish these guys would cut the bullshit. When you come right down to it, it has nothing to do with the song and its tone. And I don't think it's necessarily about business; I haven't heard the goobers attempt to claim that there's no market in country music for a song by a country group from an album that is likely to be the top-selling album in the country when the next charts come out. The truth is that the assholes at country radio are still injecting their politics into their playlists and that's the bottom line here.
