Do tell. I saw him a few years back, and he was typical DAC.

Ebony and ivory

Why is it I know the lyrics to all the "bad" songs?

Definate mulligan material
Amen to that! Nothing worse than hearing "I told you once you son of a gun..." during the encore
I've seen some upset rednecks leaving a Charlie Daniels concert for that! And if you think that's bad, you should see what David Allan Coe does now.

What does DAC do now? It's been years since I've seen him but at least one of those performances was quite good. I do understand he can be rather erratic at best. One report from a couple of years ago said he didn't take the stage until 12:00 and then the show was over at 12:30. Apparently he was too drunk to play or sing so another band member took over those duties for him while DAC sat in the corner propped up in a chair.

Both of those qualify as Mulligans. But you forgot "Stand".

AND ANYTHING ELSE FROM THOSE FREAKS

I didn't realize it was a fight at all. I was under the impression that you and I agreed that we're all not going to like the same thing. I am thrown off a bit by the definition of R.E.M. as "freaks" though. I have been here long enough to notice that some people at this site seem to have very limited tastes when it comes to music so I find it very refreshing when I encounter those that don't share that view. To me, R.E.M. (and many other bands like them) have always stood for artistic integrity as far as how they have conducted themselves in the public spotlight throughout their career. You may not like the aforementioned songs (though I am a bit bewildered by the inclusion of "End of the World") but to my ears all of their albums stand the test of time and they're still making some of the most vital music out there these days. As I said before, we can't all like the same things and I'm personally very glad that we don't. It would sure be a pretty boring world if we did.

I HAVE A VERY WIDE RANGE OF MUSICAL INTERESTS.FROM CLASSICAL TO 80'S HEAVY METAL AND ALMOST EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.THE MUSIC ALONE IS NOT WHY I CANT STAND REM,SOME OF THEIR PUBLIC APPEARANCES AND STATEMENTS ARE WHAT CAUSED MY EXTREME DISLIKE OF THEM.

I can definitely understand that because that sort of political grandstanding (if indeed, that's what you're referring to) are the sorts of things that turned me off to Sting and the "Sting of Texas" Don Henley (not to mention the whole Eagles' neverending "farewell" tour and high ticket prices thing) and a few other artists over the years. I really try to separate an artist from their personal beliefs but it's not always possible. R.E.M. did tone down their political stance there for awhile and actually do a lot of things these days on the sly that don't draw any of the media attention that they used to garner. One thing they've done as of late is donate large sums of money to their local historical preservation society in Athens, GA. This was not reported by them or their web site, I heard of it through the Athens newspaper. Early reports say their next album will be their most political in years which is fine by me because I love their past albums they did in this vein (Life's Rich Pageant and Document for instance) just so long they don't try to hit the public over the head with it and just let the music speak for itself. I know Bono also rubs a lot of people the wrong way but I do admire him for at least trying to change things. John Lennon and others have taken similar paths over the years and it may not of made them any more popular with a certain faction of their fans, but at least they tried.

YES THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HATE.I CAN SEPARATE A MUSICIAN AND HIS POLITICAL BELIEFS,IT'S JUST THAT THEY USUALLY CANT.I LIKE THE OLDER U2 MUSIC,BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM AGAIN BECAUSE BONO IS SUCH AN ASS,AND HIS MUSIC SUKS NOW BECAUSE HE'S TOO BUSY TRYING TO MAKE A STATEMENT INSTEAD OF WRITING GOOD MUSIC.AND WHEN THEY WIN AN AWARD,HOW ABOUT JUST A THANK YOU SPEECH?I DONT WANT TO SEE A POLITICIAN UP THERE

Oooh. How about this one?

Anything done by the Beatles that was written by Ringo???

Billy Corrigan's voice grates on me, so anything by the Smashing Pumpkins or Zwan could be mulliganed in my opinion.

And it still p*** me off that Fox aired him singing Take Me Out To the Ballgame at the Cubs Playoff game last fall, when they had cut to commercial on Jimmy's night.

A friend of mine drove three hours to see him two or three years ago and came back p***. He said DAC was on a reborn Christian kick and changed a bunch of his lyrics to the songs and wouldn't even do a few of them (Tennessee Whiskey and If That Ain't Country come to mind), DAC even adressed these and said, looking back he finds their content too offensive. He did a few gospel songs in their place. But from what a few others have said here, it sounds like he might be back to his old ways.

Thanks for the lowdown. I may not be fond of either Charlie Daniels or DAC's lyric changes but those songs belong to them so there's really not much any of us can do, nor would I want to actually. The strange thing about DAC are the overtly racist records that he made back in the 70s which he now apparently disowns just happen to be for sale (along with his "country p***" albums) on his web site.
