In the Beginning Ronnie van Zant was the oldest of 3 and hailed from the tough west side of Jacksonville, Florida, in an area where fighting was a normal pastime. He first started singing in a Gospel Church Women's Choir, but there was another type of music that Ronnie Van Zant wanted. One he pieced together from various musical influences in his life: Shorty Medlocke (Father of Rick Medlocke of the band Blackfoot) was a former sharecropper who played a scrappy style of "Swamp Music" that Ronnie Van Zant became familiar with. At the age of 16, Ronnie Van Zant was approached by the Band called Us. They needed a lead singer for their Rhythm and Blues Band. "US" was a local favorite that had competed in "Battle of the Bands" Contests. Another such band was calle More...

Tuesday is when she left. However, she's not leaving permanently, because she's "still at home". He doesn't seem to be leaving permanently either, as he says "when this train ends I'll try again." He needs time to think. He needs to be alone. He's stuck in between continuing to try to stay with her and just leaving it all behind. However, the reference to the specific day she left might point to a hidden reference of the fact that he's not gone permanently, but just for the "blues day". He's pretty much taking the day off and this song was written right in the middle of the apex of his polar emotions. That's why it seems like a dichotomy exists in the song. Neither his staying or his going is finalized. It's a song of the moment. Dear Savannah, | Reviewer: Valhalla ------ About the song Sweet Home Alabama performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd I also love classic rock and think you are spot on about pop music today. To me it's crap. It's not even real music anymore. It's just noises produced by a computer. The Who's song: long live rock said "long live rock... Be it dead or alive." I agree, long live rock but, I'm afraid it's dead. The last great bands were #1 nirvana. Then the foo fighters, STP, Alice in chains, etc. I think alternative was rocks last hoorah. Lynard Skynard kicks ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Matthew Andrews ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd I personaly think Lynard is ausome and I also feel that if you don't feel this way then you can go to hell. I mean iook at Free Bird how can you not love that song it's got what's in the movies these days action,Heartbreak, a love story gone wrong. And on the other hand you have Sweet Home Alabama" Also one of the greatest songs of all time." How Can't you love songs about love heartbreak, and also this song is a song you can party to all night long. classic skynyrd | Reviewer: bladeofdf ------ About the song Things Goin' On performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd i love skynyrd. theremy favorite band. I love this song cause i like the way ronnie wrote the song. Theres a lot of things goin on and the goverment is wasteing time in space and waging war when there is plenty of things they need to be taken care of here. The best will always be forever | Reviewer: Teresa Simmons ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd I loved Skynard every since I was 14. I am 51. I have all the origianl albums and in my car is every CD. Tuesday's Gone with the wind is off the chain. But to truly listen to the real skynard, listen to Am I Losing......The music they play will be in my soul till I leave this world and Freebird will be played at my funeral. Still to this day no one can play like Allen Collins, truly one of the greatest. Ever Fly free friend. | Reviewer: Gabriela ------ About the song Freebird performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd The first time I really heard this song was when my best friend and other guys played it, I felt it. But now I can't hear it without cry, my best friend was killed 4 months ago and, and for some reason, the song that most remind me of him is Freebird. Lynyrd Skynyrd ROCKS!! | Reviewer: Cheyane ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd I love Lynyrd Skynyrd. I have listend to their awsome music ever since I can remember. I can't remember a time when I thought that Lynyrd Skynyrd wasn't the best Band. They are the best band ever. This one band, gave us all a favore of music. and I will continue listening to their wonderful music and I will love them forever. Thank you... You have done so much for us. again, Thank you. What it's all about. | Reviewer: Confederate Boy ------ About the song Saturday Night Special performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd Look guys we can bicker and fight all decade about wether handguns need to be banned. But that is not what we are bloging about (correct me if I'm wrong). This is about the song and how good it is and what it means. I personally believe that this song is not that simple. It's rather accusing people's evil ways and how the handgun is used to acomplish it. It is probably more a lesson on how we as the human race should be more careful and more considerate of our lives and the lives of those around us. But it is not necesarily anti guns. Simple man explains my life with freebird being last thing | Reviewer: Danny Goodman ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd Southern Fried Rock is almost over no new stuff except with Johnny Vanzant and Donnie keeping it alive i am 51yrs. Still have Blackfoot,ARS.Marshall Tucker, But if any one could take the ball and run with it Johnny Vanzant did as long Johnny is alive Ronnie will never die. God be with the Vanzant always. ask my son Jason hes 28yrs. He already knows simple man an freebird will be played at my funeral.you can,t keep a GOODMAN Down and Skynyrd will always be in americans hearts forever.I am from Kingsport Tn, thats our National Anthem.Free Bird and Simple God Speed to all of you. Gimme Three Steps | Reviewer: Ashley ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd Seriously people spell it right its not Lynard Skynard its LYNYRD SKYNYRD! I'm 16 and Lynyrd Skynyrd is my favorite band. I saw them this past summer with two original members Billy Powell who died yesterday on piano and guitarist Gary Rossington and they were amazing. And whoever said Lynyrd Skynyrd sucks;sucks wiener. Other than that keep on rocking! Free. | Reviewer: Semsu ------ About the song Freebird performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd It´s hard to finally write something like: "This song is so awesome that it´s stupid to try and put into words what you can feel while listening to it" and most will read it as a default comment, without much thought put into it. But I mean each and every word to the fullest. This song touches your soul. Lynyrd Skynyrd is awsome | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the best bands or the best band i have been a big fan of them my dad and some friends use to play their songs all the time when i was very young i just fell in love with all of their songs that band had a gift and i am happy they shared their gift with the world Handguns, Ten Commandments, and more | Reviewer: Billy ------ About the song Saturday Night Special performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd The commandment (of the 10 commandments) you're referring to uses the term 'murder' - not 'kill'. You shall not 'murder'. That is different than killing - murder is an evil type of killing. If someone breaks into my house and I kill them in self-defense, it is not murder, it is justice. Handguns are very useful for self-defense - against criminals. The only handguns used to murder are those used by criminals, who, if they didn't have access to a handgun, would find another 'tool' for their murderous intent. People murdered before there were handguns, and they will still murder if handguns are banned. People murder people - not guns, guns are just a tool, which, if in the wrong hands, can be used for murder - but no more than a bat, a knife, or any other 'tool' one can think of to use. one of the best songs ever!! | Reviewer: Elias Rangel ------ About the song Freebird performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd well ive herd many rock songs in my days and the way this song drags u into it is amazing i thought that this song had one of the best guitar solos ever andthe lyrics make u love it even more R.I.P lynyrd skynyrd and fly high free bird!! wednesday | Reviewer: Sammy ------ About the song Tuesday's Gone performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd Whoever said it's about him having to let the girl go is way off track. He's the one on the train, miles from his home and he's leaving her behind. "i'm leavin my woman at home". He doesn't even state why he's leaving her, he just is. "She had to be free" is about all you get. Great song though Ban All Guns! | Reviewer: Greg ------ About the song Saturday Night Special performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd Guns were made for killing. Thou Shalt Not Kill! Therefore, guns were made to violate one of God's Ten Commandments. This means that guns are godless, evil tools made by man for the purpose of killing; they are not of God. BAN ALL GUNS! Lynyrd Skynyrd Rocks! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd Lynyrd Skynyrd does NOT SUCK -- YOU DO for saying such a thing!!! Obviously you haven't listened to the words of "That Smell". It's about what substance abuse can do to you, and "that smell" means you're killing yourself. Maybe you should go back and listen to it again, or maybe you are a drug user and just don't want to hear the truth?!?!?!?!?!? Great Song | Reviewer: Corey ------ About the song Sweet Home Alabama performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd really, one of the better songs out there. two bad it was sort of shadowed by the verse about the govener. i never really got that... were they being racist or did Brigamham not like what he said about them? Good Band | Reviewer: Pierre ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd Other than Free Bird, the band sucked and continues to suck. Don't believe me? Just listen to That Smell or whatever that song is called. People should listen to Led Zeppelin. Now that's a real band. The One And Only | Reviewer: annmarie ------ About artist/band Lynyrd Skynyrd I have been listening to this band for the 30 years they have been around. As far as im concerned they are the best in the world they are a truly blessed band. I cant believe they believe in angels that is awesome.when ever there is a concert close to me i go.
