I absolutely loved his music.

That's unfortunate. RIP, Charley.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I can't grasp that he was 86 years old.  But then I'm approaching 78 and I can hardly grasp that either.

When I was a kid he carried my sister and I around the Villa Inn in Amarillo, TX while he talked with my parents. Dad always mentioned how humble and good-natured Charlie was.

Now he really can kiss an angel good morning. RIP.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Another long time favorite gone.

One of my favorite songs by any country singer. I had the album on 8-track.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Another of the true greats.

R.I.P., Mr. Daniels. You may be gone, but your music will live on.

Charlie Daniels died earlier this year. Now it's Charlie Pride.

His voice and George Strait's voices, and how they approach a song, are very similar.

Charlie Pride used to headline at the Colorado State Fair here in Pueblo quite a bit.  Very popular and by all accounts, a true gentleman.
