description: "Clifford Joseph Trahan, better known by the stage names Johnny Rebel, Pee Wee Trahan, Filthy McNasty, Jericho Jones, and many other pseudonyms, was an American singer-songwriter known for his openly racist songs. He used the Johnny Rebel name to voice sympathy for racial segregation, the KKK, and the Confederacy, and frequently used the racial slur \"nigger\". He used Pee Wee Trahan for more mainstream, family-friendly country music that focused on themes such as love, dancing, and rural life, and Filthy McNasty for sexually explicit lyrics. The Johnny Rebel name, inspired by Johnny Reb, the national personification of the common soldier of the Confederate States Army, was used for J. D. \"Jay\" Miller's Reb Rebel label in the 1960s in response to the civil rights movement."
