KILT radio, Freedom of Speech, Hank Williams Jr., and the Dixie Chicks
Greetings KILT et al in Houston Texas, Mr. Purdy Sir,
what say you at KILT radio ???
IS KILT going to now ban Bocephus aka Hank Williams Jr. from the radio like they did the Dixie Chicks ???
IF NOT, why not, and if not, can you kindly explain then why the Dixie Chicks music was banned and not Hank Williams Jr. (and i have loved Hank Jr.s music ever since he started playing).
WHAT the producer of KILT said to my wife was, "This will all be forgotten soon, the war will be over quick", and my wife said, "I will never forget what you have done, and that every radio in our house that was tuned to kilt for decades, will never play KILT radio again".
I believe that KILT failed the public terribly with their blatant act of disregard for freedom of speech when they banned the Dixie Chicks, i believed it back in 2003, and i still believe it today in 2011.
we say, either ban Hank Jr. from KILT, or, start playing the Dixie Chicks Music again, and to make up for the past years that their music has not been played, you should play a song every 4 hours by the Dixie Chicks for 6 years, to make up for KILT blatant disregard for free speech, or KILT hypocrisy, take your pick..."

Greetings KILT et al in Houston Texas, Mr. Purdy Sir, and Ms. Kathleen Parker (re clumsy hitler analogy, no firing offense outlook houston chronicle)
My how we miss listening to your radio station. Sadly, the war is not over yet, as we were told by the manager at KILT in 2003 it would soon be, and that every thing would be forgotten. Well, sadly, myself and others have not forgotten. So, since our beloved Hank Williams Jr., so kindly stuck his foot in his mouth, and is now banned from 'ARE YOU READY FOR SOME MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL' show. His racist, ugly, just plain stupid remarks about the President in 2011, topped the Dixie Chicks by a long shot.

YOU remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks, they were just about tar ball and feathered. radio stations were pushing to burn their cd's in the streets. we went to their Top of the World Tour in Houston, Texas just to show our support, and it was packed to the top, and it was great. But, what happened to them by the Bush team et al, and then what the public, and especially the radio stations did, like KILT in Houston (we still don't listen to them today, they violated one of the very rights our Soldiers are dying at that very time), should have been criminal, compared to what the people of the USA are doing and saying about their President today. I remember Bonnie was so mad, she called the producer of KILT and he said that the advertisers were going to pull their adds because people were pissed, and that the war would be over quick, and everybody would forget about it.
WHAT the producer of KILT said to my wife was, "This will all be forgotten soon, the war will be over quick", and my wife said, "I will never forget what you have done, and that every radio in our house that was tuned to kilt for decades, will never play KILT radio again".
what goes around, comes around. the people spoke ;
Natalie Louise Maines Pasdar (born October 14, 1974) is an American singer-songwriter who achieved success as the lead vocalist for the female alternative country band, the Dixie Chicks. Born in Lubbock, Texas, Maines considers herself a rebel who "loved not thinking in the way I knew the majority of people thought."[1]
In 1995, after leaving the Berklee College of Music, Maines was recruited by the Dixie Chicks to replace their lead singer, Laura Lynch. With Maines as lead vocalist, the band earned 10 Country Music Association Awards and 13 Grammy Awards for their work between 1998 and 2007.
On the eve of the Iraq invasion, while in concert in London for the 2003 Top of the World Tour, Maines commented that the Dixie Chicks were "...ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas."[2] Negative public reaction in the United States to this comment resulted in boycotts by country music radio stations and death threats.[citation needed]
In 2006, with Maines still acting as lead singer, the Dixie Chicks released Taking the Long Way. The album subsequently won five Grammy Awards (including Album of the Year).

Worst of all, bomb-sniffing dogs and metal detectors were deployed at Dixie Chicks concerts. Under heavy security, the Texas trio confronted a 2003 death threat at a Dallas performance, after a letter threatened to shoot Maines in the same city where John F. Kennedy had been gunned down 40 years earlier. For his part, President Bush appeared to egg on the Chicks' persecutors, saying: "They shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records."

WE were at the top of the Top of the World tour in Houston Tx., and what a show it was, fantastic, sold out too.
I believe that KILT failed the public terribly with their blatant act of disregard for freedom of speech when they banned the Dixie Chicks, i believed it back in 2003, and i still believe it today in 2011. it's sad when our Nation has turned against each other, and the media corporations are fuming the flames. KILT is guilty of just that. now we have these gd super-pacs where the vote of a single voter just does not matter much anymore. oh well, i have said my piece.
we say, either ban Hank Jr. from KILT, or, start playing the Dixie Chicks Music again, and to make up for the past years that their music has not been played, you should play a song every 4 hours by the Dixie Chicks for 6 years, to make up for KILT blatant disregard for free speech, or KILT hypocrisy, take your pick...

Hank Williams Jr. out on Monday Night Football
Are you ready for some football? Hank Williams Jr. isn't anymore.
The country singer and ESPN each took credit for the decision Thursday morning to ax his classic intro to "Monday Night Football."
The network had pulled the song from the game earlier this week after Williams made an analogy to Adolf Hitler while discussing President Barack Obama on Fox News on Monday morning....snip...end
