In memoriam - RIP simple man - Charlie Daniels

I was able to meet him a couple of times, he was truly generous with his time and attention. He was also one of the few who never even considered allowing public pressure to sway him. RIP.
 
He is waiting down in Georgia. May God find, bless, and keep him.
 
I dislike his devisive politics, but I have always liked his music. Wolley Swamp was always my favorite
 
I first saw him perform at the Cow Palace in San Francisco New Years Eve 1973. He played before the Marshal Tucker Band and the Allman Bros. Band. That was one wild and crazy night. After midnight they all came out and played together along with some of the Greatful Dead.
 
SCI Bids Farewell to Country Music Legend and Hunting Supporter Charlie Daniels

Safari Club International (SCI) mourns the passing of country music icon and hunting supporter Charlie Daniels. Perhaps best known for his song “The Devil went Down to Georgia”, Daniels was an American patriot who enjoyed hunting, fishing, sport shooting and other outdoor activities. He demonstrated his support of SCI and sustainable use conservation this past February when he agreed to perform at the SCI Annual Convention with little notice, replacing another band that had buckled under public pressure from animal-rightists and anti-hunting groups seeking to disrupt SCI fundraising events for wildlife conservation.

“Charlie Daniels embodied many of the values we stand for at SCI as the leader in defending the freedom to hunt and in promoting wildlife conservation,” says W. Laird Hamberlin, Chief Executive Officer of SCI and Safari Club International Foundation (SCIF). “He loved the outdoor way of life and understood how hunting contributes to wildlife conservation. That belief shone brightest when he refused to be bullied by the ignorant and misinformed groups targeting our convention. We will miss him and his enthusiastic support.”

Daniels was a staunch advocate of American bedrock values, including the right to keep and bear arms and to hunt for sport and food. He produced public service announcements for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s Hunters for the Hungry program, encouraging Tennessee deer hunters to donate game meat for the hungry. An all-round humanitarian, he also gave his time and assistance to organizations for teen suicide prevention, a home for abused and neglected children, a school for the handicapped, cancer research and American veterans.

An inductee to the Grand Ole Opry and the Musicians Hall of Fame, and a recipient of the Academy of Country Music’s Pioneer Award, Charlie Daniels was 83 when he died of a hemorrhagic stroke on July 6, 2020 at the Summit Medical Center in Hermitage, Tennessee.

Let's see - he loved his country, was proud to tell anyone that he did, and believed in the importance of the second amendment and the need to treat hunting as a right not a privilege. If that is divisive, then you will find plenty of like minded friends among the ANTIFA and left wing of the Democrat party.
 
RIP Brother. See you on the other side.

By "divisive" I assume you mean Pro-American?
 
My wife and I got to see him live in Vegas last December. It was amazing to see how much energy he brought to the stage and how good he still sounded at his age. We lost a great musician and an even greater patriot! RIP Mr. Daniels.
 
Saw him about five years ago for the last time. He was a Great american patriot and told it like he saw it. I always respected him for that!
Country music has lost a legend and our country has lost an Ardent Patriot! RIP will sure miss CDB!
