Cho exactly is calling Daniels a "chickenhawk"? We should have a citation for a charge like this. TDC 22:51, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
I believe people should know about Charlie Daniels' benefit concert for Camp Laughing Child. Im not sure if should be a new section or be a continuous under his religion.Cajoiner (talk) 19:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
I think people should take issue with this passage, although I'm not going to change it because I'm not totally sure if I'm misunderstanding it the right way! Anyway, here goes: "In contrast, "Still in Saigon" (written by Dan Daley) was an effective portrayal of the plight of the American Vietnam veteran ten years after the war; it was part of an early 1980s wave of attention to the subject, in contrast to treatments such as Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." and "Shut Out the Light", Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon", and somewhat later Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road"."
In particular, the statment "effective portrayal...in contrast to treatments such as Bruce Springsteen's 'Born in the U.S.A. and 'Shut Out the Light'...seems calculated and partisan. Does that mean that there songs were any less accurate? Is there something such as a source that could back that up? It seems like a highly personal and opinionated assessment of Mr. Daniel's music and perhaps unfairly denigrates that of Mssrs. Springsteen, Joel and Earle. Can you show that their songs are less effective in portraying the plight of Vietnam veterans? I think that should be reworded.
Here's why: Acknowleged, written in that context means that he's accepted something to be known as fact such as to acknowlege that the temperature of the earth has risen in recent years or to acknowlege that the New York Mets have seven starting pitchers on their spring training roster. There is, however, nothing factual about not criticizing veterans. It is a personal choice on behalf of some people. You can think it's in poor taste--which to me makes no sense because service in the military gives no one a free pass, nor is a requisite for citizenship. Instead, using the word 'said' better reflects Mr. Daniels' sentiments--which of course are generally speaking very simplistic and (editorializing here)and ignorant. So unless he uses that word just use 'said'.

I agree with TDC on this, I don't think the chickenhawk citations are worthy – they come from obviously slanted, poorly put-together, low-visibility partisan web sites. I made several additions to this article recently about Daniels' political works and views, that show the apparent evolution of his views, but more could probably be added. Also Volunteer Jam needs a lot of work. Wasted Time R 29 June 2005 17:01 (UTC)
Err...maybe I'm wrong, but I don't exactly see the part about Saviano belonging in this article. Daniels is not directly involved in the incident. His publicist? Yeah. But him? No. So...I'm gonna remove it. If someone thinks I'm wrong, let's talk here.

This whole section is extremely POV. Kirt Webster has said that he didn't call to complain but to find out if they had cancelled a special on Daniel's set to run in a few days since he had received a letter from Saviano claiming she was starting a boycot against Daniels. Saviano was fired for sending out an email calling for a boycott of Daniels which the email said was being sent to 2000 people, and for not making it clear that she was speaking only for herself and not as a reprentative of the company. Saviano didn't state in her emails that she was using her personal account and not speaking for the company until after she'd been told by her boss not to send anymore emails to Webster. She sent another one anyway, but finally made it clear that it was not a company message. Saviano sent a total of 6 emails to Webster all to complain. I doubt I'm the only person who isn't outraged that a TV producer would be fired for getting into a flame war with a member of the entertainment industry that continued even after she was ordered to stop. Other people are entitled to feel differently of course, but the article needs to give all the facts so people can decide for themselvse. She hired a lawyer, but in the end did not sue which is pretty good sign she had no case. Furthermore, Daniel's has said that he knew nothing about her e-mail or the fact that his publicist his contacted GAC until it bacame a news story.--Heathcliff 07:15, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
Where is it? Or did he just skip it and go straight to Volunteer Jam III?
I noticed someone wrote "He is now dead as a doornail" At the bottom of the page. It has now been removed but be on guard for more vandalism. 12:30 5 April 2006
I hate vandalism but reading this actually made me chuckle...
Is Charlie Daniels in the Country Music Hall of Fame? - Alakey2010 29 May 2006 09:11 pm.
Charlie Daniels is almost a geezer. —Mariusz Zielinski 23:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I really think this sentence is POV:
The quotes themselves obviously can't be POV (since they're source material), but the descriptions of the quotes are editorializing. I could argue that his statement to/about Harry Reid was not a personal attack on Mr. Reid but rather a simple statement about Reid's beliefs, and I could say that saying he's "denying" the science of global warming is a loaded term and that it would be more neutral to say that he "disputes" the science of global warming.
I think the best way to do this is to let his statements stand for themselves and just rewrite the sentence as:

For some reason this talk page had the ((Jazz-music-project)) banner. (Similarly, I've seen pictures of Charlie Daniels on Wiki Commons in the "Jazz musicians" category.) I've never known Daniels to have any association with jazz, but just to make sure it wasn't a simple matter of my own ignorance, I took a look through the article itself: the word "jazz" does not appear at all. I'm removing this from WP:JAZZ. Thanks. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

The reference for AllMusic shows most of the genres in the infobox as "styles", are styles and genres the same ? Apparently it's OK to list a "style" as a "genre" in the infobox. Mlpearc (open channel) 02:53, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

This article should probably have such a section. From google I found:
1998
Country Music Association Award for Song of the Year 1980 · In America
2012 · Country Boy
2003 · Urban Cowboy
2006 · I'll Fly Away
1997, 1994 · Long Haired Country Boy, The Devil Comes Back to Georgia
2004
1982, 1981
Article also mentions 6 BMI songwriting awards but only the name of one of the songs.
Sources would need to be found and added of course. Rmhermen (talk) 18:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
