"I wanted none of Skynyrd's talk of down-home values. It sounded like Moral Majority code speak, and this teenaged member of Greenpeace and fan of musical minimalists such as the Ramones and Devo was having none of this Confederate-flag-waving, axe-wielding mob of rednecks in bell-bottoms." So she has nothing to say about the music, just the implied politics behind it? I tend to lend more credence to the critic who can enjoy the Ramones and Skynyrd. Or Black Sabbath and Hank Williams Jr.
I would think the surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd would wear her scorn as a badge of honor, the little twit.

Gotta love Sammy Hagar. Hard rockin conservative, right along with the great Ted Nugent. Now there's a good guitarist!

I like the Ramones, Sabbath, AND Hank . . . but Skynyrd is better off never played around me, IMHO.
