Lynyrd Skynyrd...to be honest, this version 2.0 of the band hasn’t had a 4-star hit since the original band was in the aircraft accident. They do a decent show, but there’s not much worth talking about.

Sweet Home Alabama
Play that dead band’s song
Turn the speakers up real loud
Play it all night long—Warren Zevon

[a fool in paradise]

I heard the fans protested at a nearby Stucky’s.

[Bullish]

Great bands only live forever if they hang it up BEFORE they jump the shark and are just playing fairgrounds.

[max americana]

They’ll probably display the fag flag.

[Reaganite Republican]

They’re ‘Lynyrd Skynyrd’ like I’m Kieth Richards, please

Never saw the real deal but caught Rossington-Collins Band in 79, they did Free Bird instrumental with a lone spotlight on an emptly microphone stand... very moving

[shibumi]

That’s OK.

Southern Man don’t need them around, anyhow.

[Republican1795.]

When you see this you wonder if the political correctness agenda has won.

[Lancey Howard]

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Spectrum in Philly not long before the plane crash. That was a great band. These new guys are a bunch of leeches profiting off the name. It’s a shame.

[The Cajun]

He said the band will no longer display the flag.

The band ain't Lynyrd Skynyrd from back in the day and never will be.

Nuff said.

[golux]

Absolute must read, if you will permit me, on the subject of the abandoning of the flag:

[Alberta's Child]

I hope Gary Rossington will remember
Alberta's Child don't need him around, anyhow.

[PapaBear3625]

They betray their base, for the benefit of people who will never like them no matter what they do.

The operating basis of the GOPe for decades.

[relictele]

Well done to Skynyrd’s management.

This was the last hurdle to getting urban audiences to abandon hip hop and R&B and head out to Skynyrd shows.

[Rebelbase]

“Sweet Home Alabama, praises former Governor and presidential candidate George Wallace. “

In Birmingham they love the guvnor’
Boo, boo, boo..

They were not praising Wallace.

[bmwcyle]

Who was complaining before they issued the statement?

[Kartographer]

Maybe they can get the Dixie Chicks to open for them and call it

"The Politically Corrected Suicide Tour"

[McGruff]

This is outrageous!

[yldstrk]

I despise that stupid “Free Bird” song — all about how to be fleshly and irresponsible

This band is over

[VeniVidiVici]

For anyone who hasn't seen it, you have to check-out the Leningrad Cowboys do Sweet Home Alabama on Youtube. Hilarious!
