“…cuz the South’s gonna to do it again.”

But man, that song rocks, especially the end. In a, you know, country way.

    I was always surprised that all the biggest Skynyrd fans I knew seemed to know none of the lyrics, because thwy all lived the opposite of them.

    RACISM IS WRONG- The Ballad of Curtis Lowe

    DRUGS AND ALCOHOL ARE BAD- Needle And The Spoon, That Smell

    CAPITALISM SUCKS- Working For MCA

    GUNS ARE BAD - Saturday Night Special

    FIGHTING IS A BAD IDEA- Gimme Three Steps

    Thats all I can remember at the moment, but I should add that Alabama fucking sucks and always has. I know. Trust me.

      I don’t disagree, but I’m saying it’s not that that I like. It’s the musical style, I really like it. I love Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama, Ramblin’ Man by the Allman Brothers, Frankenstein by Edgar Winter, tons of really good songs.

    I irrationally hate the South: its music, its culture, its history, and its people.

    This is tragically unfair of me and I admit that I’m embarrassed that I haven’t quite shaken myself of that, but I will keep trying

    That said, I’ll listen to Johnny Cash all day every day
