Shedaisy Pleads Innocent To 'Man Bashing'

Yahoo! Music, Jul 19, 2002 5:00 pm PDT
(7/19/02, 5 p.m. ET) -- Shedaisy's first single release from its new Knock On The Sky album was released to radio in the spring and then pulled from radio just weeks later after stations complained that the song was "man-bashing." In response, the trio and its record label stopped pushing the song and released another single from the album called "Mine All Mine," which currently sits at Number 37 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

While they were in agreement to pull the song, all three Osborn sisters contest that the song was not man-bashing in any way. Kristyn, Kelsi, and Kassidy told LAUNCH.

Kelsi explained, "It was inspired by a female actually, an encounter Kristyn had, so it has nothing to do with men, it never mentions a he."

Kristyn adds, "Yeah, it's probably the least man-bashing song we've ever released, but it's perceived as the most."

Kassidy continues, "It was so hard to hear that all the time because, we know."

The girls will be in Canada next week to promote their new album. On July 30, the sisters will hit Hollywood to tape the Fourth Annual Family Television awards on ABC, where they will perform their new single.
