This song means alot to me in 1998 i was 13 my mom packed our stuff in a dual axle uhaul trailer, she had a 93 swb chevy cheyenne. and she drove us to decatur Alabama. she had a tape with this song on it we rewinded it prolly 150 time and listened to this song over and over. just thought i share my cool story.
@Ian10sc It's a very old signal that "we are under attack" in the us.And by the things that Ronnie had to say at the begining of the song,they werent too tickled to be there...
They probably gave them some smooth/fast talking bullshit and shoved them out there ill prepaired.By the sound of that snare i dont think im too far off. LYNNYRD SKYNNYRD!!
In my opinion the flag stands for southern pride. I love all my friends of all races and if I hear a racist remark of any kind I go ballistic. There is only one race and that is the human race. God Bless America and our melting pot that brings us all together.
@heavymetal92892 it was freaking awesome......i actually got to meet and party with them just 4 short months before the crash...they were awesome, sweet, talented and very down to earth....AMAZING talent, lost way before their time.......
I am a southern man and simple and served my country and was rasied in the south in Alabama, We all need to stick together, I was station at Ft. Sill OK in Field Arty, and in Germany with the 3RD ID durning the coald War time and was with the nuclear program this is what this song mean to me a true american and to keep it simple.
This is LS in their prime. This is an amazing video. I wish I could have been there to see them live when the original members were still alive. Long live LS!
get over yourself ! if you dont like it go listen to NYoung and wave your own flag what is it a rainbow I am so tired of hearing about how the South enslaved millions. Every race in existence was enslaved at one time or another how about get over yourself if you dont like it fine nobody here cares.
in short terms. it was one the of the flags of the confederate states of america. it stands for less government, less taxes and the right of the people to govern them self. it is not a flag of racism. if you want me to explain better i can.
@zerox701 your full of shit, skynyrd has never been racist thats not what they're about. Ronnie would tell you straight up that one of his best friends in the industry was a guy named Jimi Hendrix. Hes black btw ;) quit spreading hate and slandering this great band
Yeah, just like the flag of Nazi Germany stands for nationalized government programs, a stronger foreign policy and a fair tax system. Get the fuck over yourself, both flags are racist symbols. You can't deny the fact that the Nazis instituted policies which a huge amount of innocent people or that the confederacy wanted to explicitly maintain a system which enslaved millions.
Love old Skynyrd, Poor Ronny musta had a cold.
