Dixie Chicks Withdraw Bush Apology Steve Marshall Reporting KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO

MEMPHIS, TN (KNX) -- Natalie Maines, the lead singer for The Dixie Chicks, has rescinded an apology offered President Bush in 2003. The ground took a hit to its popularity after opening criticizing Mr. Bush at London concert, in which Maines said she was "ashamed" that President Bush was from her home state of Texas. After Dixie Chicks' CD's were burned across the country and the group was banned from radio station playlists, Maines had offered an apology to the president. Now Maines tells Time magazine she no longer feels sorry about her comment. She says she doesn't feel the president "is owed any respect whatsoever'' because of his actions in Iraq. The groups original remarks led to a series of death threats and feuds with other country acts, including a high-profile spat with Tody Keith.
