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.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
