I was cutting the rug at a place called the jug with a girl named Lindy Lou.

When in walked a guy with a gun at his side and he was looking for you know who

He says hey fat fellow with your hair colored yellow whatchu trying to do

I remember that by memory.

I love that line,money fat fellow with your hair colored yellow.

I had a conversation with my 32 year old unemployed son today. He lost his job due to business slowdown from Covid-19. He was wondering what direction he should go with his experience and education. I didn’t think about it when we were talking, but I gave him the same advice as the Momma in this song.

It is one (of many) of my favorite LS songs.

Simple Man

[Tell It Right]

Well I hope Neil Young will remember.

This southern man don’t need him around anyhow.

In my home state the song Sweet Home Alabama is practically our state anthem.

Gimme Three Steps. Saw them in Cincinnati, winter of ‘76, I think. Fantastic live band. Al Kooper discovered and produced them. Pretty good interview about it here.

Love Street Survivors album Stevie Gaines was a great guitarist and just joined them on that album.
Would have been great to hear what would have come after.

A couple off that album are my faves...

Call Me the Breeze

[packrat35]

They call me the Breeze. Was my theme song and handle when I was a DJ in the late 70’s radio.

[Hardastarboard]

“On the Hunt” is one of my all time favorites, and it isn’t played nearly enough, IMO. I LOVE the guitar in that song, and the kind of general badass attitude of the lyrics.

This is an excellent documentary about the crash as told by rescuers and others.

Call Me the Breeze

Lynyrd Skynyrd
Call me the breeze
I keep blowin’ down the road
Well now, they call me the breeze
I keep blowin’ down the road
I ain’t got me nobody
I don’t carry me no load
Ain’t no change in the weather
Ain’t no changes in me
Well, there ain’t no change in the weather
Ain’t no changes in me
And I ain’t hidin’ from nobody
Nobody’s hidin’ from me
Oh, that’s the way its supposed to be
Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin’ on
Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin’ on
Well, I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia, I don’t know
Well, I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
Well now, I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
But I don’t love me no one woman
So I can’t stay in Georgia long
Well now, they call me the breeze
I keep blowin’ down the road
Well now, they call me the breeze
I keep blowin’ down the road
I ain’t got me nobody
I don’t carry me no load
Ooh, Mr. Breeze
