Of course, one would have to find the energy to flog the *******s once in a while, but you’d wait until the sun had gone down.
Yes, it has been my dubious pleasure to experience the humidity of Florida, and once the extreme heat of Nevada and Arizona. I suppose I'm really thinking of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, that sort of area, aren't I? Must get out there and take a peek sometime. I wonder if there's a Lynyrd Skynyrd memorial route one might follow.
Surely the Lynrd Sknyrd Memorial Route would involve plummeting to earth from 20,000 ft?
Poor Ronnie.
I was reading just last evening that LS are heading out on what will be a farewell tour.
It's just not the same now. Johnny is no Ronnie, for starters.
Funnily enough, Skynyrd werent from Alabama. They were from Florida.
Similarly, I think only one member of the The Band was from the South.
We have had a lot of talk of the Confederacy today, including Herb quoting Nathan Bedford Forrest...most encouraging.
By the way, the most underrated band by you is The Stones.
Jacksonville, yes. For some reason I'm thinking of Steve Gaines being from Oklahoma... could be wrong.
Surely Robbie and Levon are Canadian?
Maybe I've just got a blind spot when it comes to the Stones; I'm 53 now, nothing's going to change until, following the blessed release of sweet, sweet death, my flesh is turned to corruption and I pass beyond this suffering. Then you'll see a change.
Levon is from Arkansas- a southern boy.
I always though Dead Flowers could have been by The Band. A homage, perhaps?
Skynyrd were good but....... there is something missing there, somewhere. Something short of greatness.
