Wonderful guy , I met Danny Shirley in West Virginia years ago and he told his sons he says hey there's a guy with one of my old Confederate railroad shirts on....we talked for a minute and he went on his way .....super good man and what a wonderful statement by Shirley saying he will never apologize for being southern .

Well actually the history of it is the confederacy were traitors to the United States of America and removed all U.S flags from their government buildings but because after the war the United States of America granted the traitors leniency they were were allowed to remain unlike in other countries where their rebels were driven out as refugees of war but yes this situation was a little crazy over the name of a band.

This country girl sure is proud of mine. Just call me a white nationalist and a proud rebel ... a resident alien on my own soil. But it is our soil, so kick ass, Danny! We, true Americans, love you. We love your music. And we especially love the fact that you are standing by your name! It is time we all stood up for our heritage, before our history gets erased and rainbow flags replace the Stars and Bars that represent our Southern Heritage.
