I doubt I'd hold a grude for 35 years, but I certainly would have been pissed. Still, I wouldn't have spit inher face.

Don't get me started on that one. Natalie Maines was completly idiotic to say what she said, from a PR standpoint. For being so dumb, she deserves the drop in populatlirty the Chicks have received. Still, why ANYONE would choose what music they buy based on the political views of the artist is beyond me. If I'm buying music, I'm buying it based on one thing: how good the music is. I couldn't care less about an artist's political beliefs. A musician is only good to me for one thing: music.
Similarly, wheter you agree with Tim Robbins' political beliefs or not, I should think that your opinion on him would be based on his ability to act, since that is what he is. He's an actor, and I couldn't really give a damn what he thinks about politics. I'll look to politicans for political takes. An actor is only good to me for one thing: acting.
For the record, I completly stand by your right to boycott the Chicks or Tim Robbins -- I just think it's kinda of silly, and I wouldn't do it myself. But if you want to, more power to ya.
