He points out that Grammy wins aren’t a reflection of popular opinion. “A lot of listeners believe these awards are a function of the mass population and not just a small amount of individuals with ballots that could easily sway momentum a certain direction to make a statement. At this point it will not affect our position on airplay.” “The Grammys are hardly a mandate for the return of the Chicks,” says WGKX/Memphis PD Lance Tidwell. “I don’t read much into this with regard to P1s and the Country life group.” Overall, the Grammy process continues to raise questions. “There’s a general consensus among those in the industry that the Grammys have never really accurately reflected what was going on in mainstream country music,” says WKIS/Miami PD Bob Barnett. “I get the whole liberal-artsy-fartsy non-mainstream Grammy mindset, but over the years the nominees and the winners have been so off it’s been almost laughable.” As for the future of the Dixie Chicks and Country radio, KEEY/Minneapolis PD Gregg Swedberg says, “Almost everyone -- except perhaps the most politically driven -- wants this [Chicks controversy] to be done. But this whole CD has never really been about just the music. It’s about the argument, which is a shame. I don’t know when the right wing gets over what Natalie said, and I don’t know when the left wing gets tired of vilifying anyone who chose not to play the record.”
