Lynyrd Skynard. Fuck their anti gun bullshit. Fuck their groveling over the Confederate Flag, and fuck their shitty corn fed music.

That is so not rock n' roll.
Most musicians use the flag as a rebellious middle finger against authority and social norms, rather than as a statement on politics and race. 
eta- wow, just noticed Dime's dogtag here looked familiar. It's a dogtag in BF3 as well. Never put that together til now.

I cannot find a reason to give a fuck.
It astounds me that in 2012, people are still clinging to the Confederate Flag |

The anti-gun band with a kiddie-toucher behind the drum kit? Hell with them. What's up with that? About 20 years ago I knew of a guy in his 40s who was messed up in the head, still wore Underoos and lived with his elderly mother who took care of him. He maintained that he went to a Skynyrd concert when he was 13 and was invited backstage where he was molested by the band members. I dismissed it as just crazy talk but when you said that I remembered him. |

I'm pretty sure that if you got David Allan Coe liquored up enough, he'd gladly beat Gary Rossington's ass. You probably wouldn't even have to get him liquored up.

The band always struck me as Fuddish on guns in a particularly Southern way (Duck guns are the birthright of all real men/Handguns bad) , so it was nice to see the change. And "Sweet Home Alabama" doesn't praise George Wallace. If Wikipedia cites can be trusted, it was meant as a poke at Wallace. |

Quoted:
The most famous song by the band, Sweet Home Alabama, praises former Governor and presidential candidate George Wallace. 
In 1975, Van Zant said: "The lyrics about the governor of Alabama were misunderstood. The general public didn't notice the words 'Boo! Boo! Boo!' after that particular line, and the media picked up only on the reference to the people loving the governor."[4] "The line 'We all did what we could do' is sort of ambiguous," Al Kooper notes. "'We tried to get Wallace out of there' is how I always thought of it."[4] Journalist Al Swenson argues that the song is more complex than it is sometimes given credit for, suggesting that it only looks like an endorsement of Wallace.[4] "Wallace and I have very little in common," Van Zant himself said, "I don't like what he says about colored people."[4]
Wiki citation - however, I thought this was common knowledge... please stop using facts. GR |

I saw them open for Kid Rock a few years back. They sounded like the bad cover band they are. Pretty sad really. We saw a LS cover band that summer at a local festival, and they sounded better than the so called real thing.
