Didn’t expect to see Skynard on there. Though my wife pointed out that while I have a mental tableau of their music the lyrics don’t reflect it
He makes music that appeals to the people who don't understand the lyrics in music. Same story with people think Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen is some patriotic song about how great the US of A is when it is the opposite.
Also it sounds like their music is more anti coastal elitism, which is certainly an orange flag, but Sweet Home Alabama certainly looks to be a song of “quit blaming Alabama democrats for the actions of an Orange County republican president”.
? That song came put in the mid seventies. It was a response to a Neil Young song called southern man that trashed rednecks.
Yeah the only President we’ve had from Orange County was Nixon
You know Lynyrd Skynyrd is a band named after a gym coach and not an individual person like Bruce Springsteen rigbt?
I always forget it's not A Guy
I mean there was a man named that but he didn’t create Free Bird
