The infamous Dixie Chicks remark from 2003 is still making news. That's some publicity mileage!
"The fallout from Natalie Maines' now infamous remarks in 2003 bashing George Bush is well documented: radio boycott, CDs publicly destroyed, a sharp decline in sales, death threats, and ridicule from the country-music industry. But what bothers Maines the most, she says, is that the American RedCross refused a $1 million donation from the Dixie Chicks in 2003."
