This report comes courtesy of my comrades at Free Radio Asheville:

The black-listed Dixie Chicks sold out the Bi-Lo Center in Greensboro, NC in their first US show since Natalie Maines' anti-Bush comments. Maines told the 15,000 fans they were alloted 15 seconds to boo the band, and then began a countdown "...three, two, one!" that ended with the audience erupting into cheers and seat-banging instead of boos. The Chicks then launched into the CSN&Y classic 'Long Time Gone'. About 15-20 anti-Chicks picketers gathered outside the Center. Country music radio has black-listed the DCs and encouraged fans to destroy DC recordings. Right-wing radio has encouraged hostility towards the group and all three vocalists have had their lives and the lives of their families threatened. GO CHICKS!! compiled from wire reports. Ed
