Not bad for a high school band. They all died way too young.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

That group died the day Ronnie did. It's sad to watch it become a 'brand' with <<fill in name here>> Van Zant as the lead singer, guitarist, etc.

Yeah, i never understood the whole 'Sweet Home Alabama' thing anyway, since we're not in Alabama. As an anthem, I always thought that 'You Got That Right' made more sense for Jacksonville. It fits the fanbase better.

What a shame ... Saw him play a couple of years ago! I don't think anyone in the audience, (and probably even Gary) was conning themselves that it was Skynyrd circa 76' ... But I was pleased i saw him at least once all the same. The man wrote some wonderful songs, that have given me a lot of pleasure down the years so I'll certainly spare him a thought tonight!
