Charlie Daniels suffers mild stroke in Colorado
Fiddler-guitarist Charlie Daniels is recovering after suffering a mild stroke while snowmobiling in Colorado, his spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Daniels, 73, suffered the stroke Friday and was treated at a hospital in Durango, 230 miles southwest of Denver, spokeswoman Paula Szeigis said. He then was airlifted to a Denver hospital and released on Sunday.

"It was a scary moment there but he's doing great," Szeigis said.

Daniels lives in Mount Juliet, Tenn., but has a home in the Durango area where he takes an extended vacation every year around Christmas.

2. I think I know them. Did one of 'em have green teeth?
I guess I wonder what position that RW whore Daniels is in to call someone else a red neck or white trash.

4. The Devil Went To Colorado
Edited on Wed Jan-20-10 04:41 PM by Zomby Woof
The Devil went to Colorado
He was lookin' to snowmobile
But he had a stroke
So when he spoke
His drool it did congeal

He came across this doctor
Who said "Chuck, lemme tell ya what
I'll help you out
If you denounce
All that right-wing squat."

"Now doctor, don't you know it
I used to be a Democrat
But I drank too much corn liquor
And my brain it turned to scat

The doctor said, "Charlie, for all I know
Everything you say is true
But you're far gone, and so damn wrong
There's not much hope for you."

Charlie, rosin up that bow
And whore for Geico hard
'Cause you stroked out in Colorado
But at least you've got a Blue Shield card

If you denounce your fascist
Ignorant right-wing crap
I may yet give you credit
For not being a total sap

So the doctor opened up Charlie's head
And said where did it go?
He used to have something there
Besides a giant lump of dough
Now it ain't nothin' but a steaming pool of piss
And when Charlie tries to speak now,
It's just an evil hiss.
When the doctor finished and said "Well, I guess I'm done
But no more snowmobilin', and no more redneck fun."

Charlie, your music used to be fun
But now you're crazier than Charles Manson
Chickenhawk horseshit from your hole
Hannity's a Nazi
You're a Fox News ho'

Charlie bowed his head
And fired off another Tweet
Unrepentant fascist bullshit
That Glenn Beck would think was sweet
The doctor said: "Charlie, you're a hack, with a big ol' stupid grin
You were great once, you sonofabitch, now you're just a sad has-been."

And he played Charlie, your music used to be fun
But now you're crazier than Charles Manson
Chickenhawk horseshit from your hole
Hannity's a Nazi
You're a Fox News ho'

13. I don't know what happened to Charlie...
I used to jam with him back when his one hit was Uneasy Rider. Did a lot of illegal shit with him as well.

I was takin a trip out to L.A.
Toolin along in my cheverolet
Tokin on a number and diggin on the radio

Just as I crossed the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to blow

Well the spare was flat and I got uptight
Cause there wasn't a filling station in sight
So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim

I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of a red-neck lookin joint called the Dew Drop Inn

I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And ywould he be kind enough to give me change for a one

There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasn't a soul in the place except for him and me
He just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone

I called up the station down the road a ways
He said he wasn't very busy today
And he could have somone out there in just about 10 minutes or so

He said," Now, you just stay right where yer at!"
And I didn't bother to tell the darn fool
That I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go

So I ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in and said, "Who owns this car
With the peace sign, the mag wheels and the four on the floor?"

He looked at me and I damn near died
And I decided that I'd just wait outside
So I laid a dollar on the bar and headed for the door

Just when I wthought I'd get outta there with my skin
These 3 big dudes come strollin in
With one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth

Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
In Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night
Especially when there was three of them and only one of me

I was almost to the door when the biggest one
Said, "You tip your hat to this lady, son!"
And when I did, all that hair fell out from underneath

They all started laughin and I felt kinda sick
And I knew I better think of something pretty quick
So I just reached out and kicked old green teeth right in the knee

Now he let out a yell that'd curl yer hair
But before he could move I grabbed me a chair
And said "Now watch him Folks cause he's a fairly dangerous man!"

"You may not know it but this man is a spy.
He's a undercover agent for the FBI
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!"

He was still bent over holdin on to his knee
But everybody else was looking and listening to me
And I laid it on thicker hand heavier as I went

"He's a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags!
I betchya he's even got a commie flag
tacked up on the wall inside of his garage."

"He's a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys.
He may look dumb but that's just a disguise,
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage"

"Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars.
And he voted for George McGovern for President."

They started lookin real suspicious at him
He jumped up and said "Now just wait a minute Jim!
You know he's lying I been living here all of my life!"

"I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church.
And I aint even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife!"

Then he started saying somethin bout the way I was dressed
But I didn't wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy moving and hoping I didn't run outta luck

When I hit the door I was making tracks
And they were just taking my car down off the jacks
So I threw the man a twenty and jumped in and fired that mother up

Mario Andretti wouldda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin when I passed that crowd
Coming out the door and headed toward me at a trott

Now I guess I should of gone ahead and run
But somehow I just couldn't resist the fun
Of chasing them all just once around the parking lot

I had them all out there steppin and fetchin
Like their heads was on fire and their asses was catchin
then I figgered I had better go ahead and split before the cops got there

When I hit the road I was really wheelin
Had gravel flyin and rubber squeelin
And I didn't slow down till I was almost to Arkansas

I think I'm gonna reroute my trip
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
If I went to L.A., via Omaha

I don't like his politics but I wish him well.
