they must have gouged their eyes out when the reese witherspoon movie came out......
Before the election, I was waiting at the car repair shop and Ellen DeGeneres’s show came on with Hillary as her guest. I asked the receptionist if she would change the channel and she did. I would not have made that request if Neil Young’s “Southern Man” had come on the radio. Him I could tune out.
Why does this read as totally made up?
Freaky out over Lynyrd LoL.
Never been a fan of “Sweet Home Alabama”. It’s not one of their best tunes.
But that’s just a personal taste thing. As far as being offended by it, it is a jab at much of the leftist culture of 1974, and more specifically a jab at Neil Young.
There was a time starting with “I dig rock-n-roll music” by Peter, Paul, and Mary which took jabs at much of the 1960’s counter-culture as capitalist sellouts (The Mommas & Pappas, The Beatles, and Donovan). Then a whole group of songs that followed that theme like Charlie Daniels’ Uneasy Rider( 1972), South’s Gonna Do It Again (1973), to Green Grass and High Tides (1976), and Gator Country (1976). Sort of went with the times. It was almost obligatory to write a song like those if you intended to sell records.
People need to let this stuff go. Take it for what it was, and for the times in which it was created.
LOL
They must have been in A NY state of mind
This cannot possibly be real.... can it? Has this been confirmed? I cannot wrap my mind around the idea that somewhere in America this actually happened.
Would they rather have heard “Play that funky music” by Wild Cherry?
