Charlie Daniels Look At the Empty Seats

I was hesitant to read this book yet I was curious to know about him. 
First: Charlie Daniels wrote for and hung out with Elvis Presley, Allman Brothers, Lynrd Skynrd and The Grateful Dead. He played on George Harrison and Ringo Starr solo albums. I wish he went more into details on these experiences. Legend says there were a lot of drugs around the Dead, but he doesn't talk about that. To his credit he does talk about what music everyone liked. I enjoyed those stories. 

There's this break in the story for a chapter of Bible passages that seems out of place. 

Second: the book has recommend blurbs from Wayne LaPierre and Sean Hannity. How does a guy that wrote a song used in the Elvis 68 Comeback Special sink to hanging around those two dickheads? Does that mean Daniels is that big a dickhead? From the way it's written, Daniels isn't. He applauds the civil rights movement. He comes to terms with the life he knew as a child versus what it meant to be black at the time. Ironically, he doesn't see the issues of civil right when it comes to modern day Muslims. 

There are a few points where I disagree with him politically, but he isn't a Sean Hannity dickhead. 
Overall it's a book that I wish was bigger. I loved the music and friends and band stories.
