  • Charlie Daniels RIP

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to Lee Lofaso on Tue Jul 7 01:23:04 2020
    Charlie Daniels, dead at 83. May he RIP.

    Sorry, but that seems a wee bit too US specific to be of any interest to the 96% of the non USAians in the world.

    Considering how many of your 4% that take part of the discussions here, maybe you should try to make your postings a little bit more interesting to a global readership, no?

    Hello Ward,

    Charlie Daniels, dead at 83. May he RIP.

    Sorry, but that seems a wee bit too US specific to be of any interest
    to the 96% of the non USAians in the world.

    Considering how many of your 4% that take part of the discussions
    here, maybe you should try to make your postings a little bit more
    interesting to a global readership, no?

    Charlie Daniels and his hit "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" is a classic.

    An expert at good music such as yourself, knows that.

    Written in 1979. Daniels had very few big hits. None of them recent. Politically, he liked Carter and called him a straight shooter. From
    there his views moved further and further to the right, to the point
    of being extremist. He was very active on Twitter, and had a section
    on his web site called the "soap box" where he posted his rants. He
    hated Obama with a passion, and absolutely adored Trump.

    "Lord, give us the courage to speak our mind, to be honest, and
    bold about our feelings, no matter who, or how many we go against."
    ~ Charlie Daniels, last tweet hours before his death

    classic.

    Most definitely. Well known outside the USA.

    MvdV> You forget the third possibility: those that have never heard of him.

    Hands up. Not my kind of music.

    I didn't either, but then there's Youtube, so now I know.

    Did the devil care about his fiddle?

    As with the god, the devil is a figment of the imagination. If one imagines s/he cared about a fiddle then s/he did.
