I really hate what the survivors of Lynyrd Skynyrd have done. I was the biggest Skynyrd fan you’ll ever meet. My first concert was Rossington Collins Band. They were great. Then I saw the 91 tribute tour, which was a good way to do it. It wasn’t Skynyrd—it was a Skynyrd tribute. Ed King came back. They should video of the original band. It was cool. I’ve never gone to see the joke masquarading as Skynyrd now. Never will. I feel for the survivors (there are only two left that play in the band—Billy on piano and Gary on guitar—but I think they sullied the memory of the band. Without Ronnie, there is no Skynyrd. Without Ronnie and Allen, there REALLY is no skynyrd. But they make money, so that’s that.
Sorry FRiend, Billy had a heart attack several years ago just after I saw them at Mohegan Sun. Another one gone.
