Skynyrd did the gun-grabber anthem "Saturday Night Special"
I disagree. They weren't advocating for gun control, if you really pay attention to the lyrics...
It’s risky to assume any song lyrics mean so-and-so is “conservative,” or even “liberal.”
In 2012 I co-authored a rock and roll history with Mark Stein, lead singer/keyboardist of Vanilla Fudge. His connections allowed me to interview a bunch of rockers, such as Billy Joel, Alice Cooper, Robby Krieger, David Paich, Dave Mason, and others.
I’d say my conversations with them, some of which got pretty intimate, lead me to know for sure that Vinny Martel and Mark Stein of Fudge are definite conservatives and both were Trump voters. Alice Cooper (Vince) is a Bible believing Republican here in AZ. Rudy Sarzo of Quiet Riot was a guest on a panel we had in LA about how rock helped combat communism. I’d say he’s moderate-to-conservative.
