There has already been an amazingly fast and large (I cut the survey off at 250 folks) response to my survey, Keith Urban, Politics And Music, posted yesterday.
So, here's the final tally. The orange (yes, that is 0%) is the percent of respondents who think radio should ease up on play of Keith Urban.

Let's move on folks...it's all about the music!
At the time this happened, I was programming an A/C station in New England. Landslide was a crossover hit at the time. Our country station was told by corporate to stop playing their songs. I remember my OM coming to me and say "You need to stop playing Landslide too." I told him "No, Natalie's comments aren't an issue with my audience."
