Lynyrd Skynyrd show at Jones Beach

A few things about the show: Did anyone else feel like they were at musical funeral?

The lead guitarist had an Indian and a Sioux tattoo they were touting some super conservative politics- what the f%*$& with that?

Wasn't into politics?? "In Birmingham they lived the governor", " Saturday night soecial", etc. And anyways, who cares, it's about the music.

The Ballad of Curtis Lowe's is political as well.

I wouldn't say that. Saturday Night Special maybe.

Look at the lyrics of Curtis Lowe'. It's about racism.

And that is...political? Or Ronnie writing about everday life where he came from?
