Charlie Daniels / PHOTO: AP ( Pamela Cosel, Headline USA ) Vandals have once again desecrated the grave in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee , of music legend Charlie Daniels, whose chart-topping songs were hailed by many as conservative art at its finest and hated by others for the same reason.
The southern rock band leader died at age 83 on July 6, 2020. One of his most famous songs was The Devil Went Down to Georgia . Apparently, the devil made someone vandalize his grave, stealing a new dogwood tree that was planted last year by his family, according to the Daily Wire.
This is at least the third time vandals have hit the gravesite. Another incident involved someone who glued a spouse’s military ID to the marble marker. While the family allows people to leave mementos at the grave, they are not allowed to glue anything there, according to a Team Charlie Daniels Band post .
Band members tweeted that the Mt. Juliet Police Department will increase patrols at the Daniels’ gravesite and install video surveillance.
Daniels was inducted in 2016 into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1976, his band played at the inauguration ball for President Jimmy Carter . Daniels was an advocate for military veterans, founding the nonprofit organization, The Journey Home Project in 2014.
Daniels was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Oct. 28, 1936. He first played with the Misty Mountain Boys and moved to Nashville in 1967. He later played with Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, George Harrison and others.
Daniels received his one and only Grammy award for “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” a song in which is amazing violin playing is a foundation of the recording. He also played guitar and bass. He also received a Dove award and was honored after his death by CMA.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
