That sucks. Strokes really really suck. My dad was stroking out near the end.

Sounds like it was pretty quick.

RIP Charlie Daniels, play that golden fiddle with the Lord’s angels.

He lived about 40 miles from me.

RIP

I’m not sure. My sister said he had one the day before he was found unresponsive in his hospital bed. A CAT scan of his heart showed that there was a tumor in there, probably releasing little bits causing him mini-strokes. He was on a vent for a week, then taken off of it and passed about a day and a half later.

Saw his concerts here in 2011 and 2012... a true icon of American entertainment. Very sad to hear of this... RIP, Charlie.

“Funniest damned thing I ever heard !”

Ain’t it though.
I still love hearing that song.

I finally got here to catch up a bit and... damn. Charlie was a good one.

I don’t think the lyrics to “Simple Man” have been posted yet?

- - - - - - - -

I ain’t nothin’ but a simple man
They call me a redneck I reckon that I am
But there’s things going on
That make me mad down to the core.

I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
There’s crooked politicians and crime in the street
And I’m madder’n hell and I ain’t gonna take it no more.

We tell our kids to just say no
Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go
Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town.

Now if I had my way with people sellin’ dope
I’d take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
I’d hang ‘em up high and let ‘em swing ‘til the sun goes down

Well, you know what’s wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bible’s away
They’re living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
The good book says it so I know it’s the truth
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
That’s the way I see it I’m a Simple Man.

Now I’m the kinda man that’d not harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breakin in my house
I’ve got twelve gauge shotgun waiting on the other side

So don’t go pushing me against my will
I don’t want to have to fight you but I dern sure will
So if you don’t want trouble then you’d better just pass me on by

As far as I’m concerned there ain’t no excuse
For the raping and the killing and the child abuse
And I’ve got a way to put an end to all that mess

Just take them rascals out in the swamp
Put ‘em on their knees and tie ‘em to a stump
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest

You know what’s wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bible’s away
They’re living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
The Good Book says it so I know it’s the truth
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
That’s the way I see it I’m a simple man
