Guest tinker, you raise a good point about the Dixie Chicks song 'Goodbye Earl'. A good number of country music stations refused to play that song, as it generated a lot of controversy. So one can't help but notice the double standard regarding this song being played as a country anthem. I don't know of any stations that have refused to play the Toby Keith/Willie Nelson song.

'Goodbye Earl' lyrics

But I think discussion of the Dixie Chicks song merits a different thread.
