A victory for free speech?

Chicks Tix Going Quick Despite Bush Controversy

I suppose one person's boycott is another's opportunity to score some tickets, eh?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Billboard) - Despite some backlash at radio and retail for negative comments about President Bush, the Dixie Chicks are flying high in preparation for their upcoming arena tour, according to Rob Light, the act's agent.

"To be brutally honest, there has been no effect, other than the odd phone call to a building inquiring about a refund. There's a lot more noise than action," says Light, head of the music division at Creative Artists Agency.

"Actually, the buildings are getting more asking, if there are refunds, can they buy the tickets." Light says there are no refunds.

Perhaps reason and common sense might triumph after all....
