Charlie Daniels, Master of the silver tongue
Yahoo News did a piece on how Charlie Daniels angered the Arab community with his song, "It Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag."

You can see where this one's going.

Some of the song:

"This ain't no rag, it's a flag and we don't wear it on our heads. It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live. Are you listening to what I said?"

Charlie Daniels is all puzzled over the big hub-bub over it.

"It's not anti-Arab or anti-anything," he said Wednesday by phone from Tennessee, where he lives. "The only thing it's `anti' is the people who bombed us on 9/11. I have people who say you're putting down people who wear turbans. I'm not."

He's like that character in "A Mighty Wind": wha- happened??
