I saw that man in real life. Since the crash, I didn't give up on them and have seen them at least 10 times. I've been to the crash site on a type of personal pilgrimage (less than 3 hours from where I lived).
Skynyrd lives still.

Good band.
They made good music.

Nice live shows to watch all over you-tube.

F**k Yeah - Saw them at the Music Hall in Boston 6/6/75 - I am quite sure their tune "Mr. Banker" had nothing to do with the plane crash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRJMMQnB9vU. Therefore, the fact the "Street Survivors" cover showed the band going down in flames was just a coincidence.

I was eight years old in 75 lol. I would probably have enjoyed the show nonetheless.

Ronnie would let his band mates do their thing while he hung back. Such a class act devoid of ego.

im 53 this year, this was before me, boomer music, my music taste is surprising me still, but in my mind im stuck in early 30s. But maybe im stuck in parts too, some of my band are now in the 60s like Skinny Puppy and Frontline Assembly.

That was my generation and we absolutely dominated...everywhere! Just look at that crowd, how many shades of brown do you see, and that was typical, even in present day Commiefornia.

Btw, no one sabotaged the plane, the idiot pilots ran out of gas.

zapoper said...

True about Whites. As to the plane my conspiracy mind automatically goes there. lol

The pilot didn't want to fly the plane I heard areosmith previously owned it "we got gas in it I thought he said 'grass''''

Free Bird was about dumping a girl to fuck around.
