...and his original version of one of the best written anti-war songs of the last several decades -- "Still in Saigon."
Back in my Village days, Dan and his crack roots-rock/country band were regulars at Kenny's Castaways, where yours truly and the rest of the nascent Floor Models saw him on numerous occasions. If truth be told, we were all a little intimidated by said band, given that they were all stone professionals, rather than snot-nosed dilettante New Wave poseurs like us. Dan is a very nice guy, however, and obviously extremely talented; he was doing "Saigon" for quite a while, as I recall, and it was obviously a great song. So it was not exactly a surprise to me when Charlie Daniels took it into the Top 10 in 1982.
Of course, I'll bet you dollars to donuts that Daniels voted for Trump, so fuck him. Oh well, at least "Saigon" presumably made Dan some serious coin.
Have a great weekend, everybody.
