Charlie Daniels died this morning.I didn't agree much with his politics but man the guy could fiddle.One of my long gone Vietnam vet buddies always said that "Still in Saigon" was his favorite 'Nam song.....RIP Charlie

My favorite CDB song:

Original "Long Haired Country Boy" not the later "sanitized" version

Loved his music, hated his politics. Another life fukced up by "christianity".

Don't know that this is completely intertwined with his politics, but I liked his "take no s h i t" attitude more than his music...which is saying something, because I liked his music, too.

Wow! I'd hate to think that Christianity may have affected his creativity (tongue in cheek)and work ethic. Right now I'm thinking you were abused by someone of supposed faith? Sorry to hear that if that's the case. Used this site as a search recently to find out when Charlie played at the mud pit in Miles City a few years back (84?)Was it Buddy Pauley Ride of Champions?

Meh. There's plenty of people making music that aren't garbage people on the side.
