David Allan Coe on Nashville Now

[@rodbelding9523]

You have to admire David Allan Coe, he is one man who just absolutely does not care what people think.

[@genericyoutubeuser1700]

He only cares about what other people think. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be on a talk show, and he wouldn’t have asked Ralph Emery whether he knew another convict who had been as successful as him.

Maybe you should have worked for him a couple years. You would think and know otherwise. From 1986-1989 I can verify that DAC is a Chrome Plated Asshole.

[@wyattearp5229]

@@curtekstrom6600 I was hired by his road manager to take photos for his web page, got some good pictures of DSC and Tyler in 2006. Switched cameras and accidentally flashed him, nearly got smashed on the head with DAC's rebel flag guitar, then escorted out of the venue by his security. A longtime friend of mine opened shows for two years, he would throw tantrums firing everyone. Still a very talented song writer and performer, but yes an asshole.
