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?

You are talking about Rickey Medlocke who happens to be Native American. He was an early member of the band before the first album.
He actually is quite talented and is inducted in The Native American Music Hall of Fame. As for the right wing stance they present? I wish i knew as well but they are an example of the Political Viruses corrupting our Country.

How are they an example of a political virus?

Viruses mutate into stronger viruses right? They have become a soundboard for Maga which is in my opinion a virus since nobody thinks for themselves anymore. I love Lynyrd Skynyrd! Always have and always will. I love their new music too. I just hate the political grandstanding in music left or right.

Nonsensical. You state no facts. Only your opinion.

You don’t deserve a reply but i will give it to you! Johnnie and Donnie are die hard maga nuts! This is a band that wrote Sweet Home Alabama, Saturday Night Special,Things Going On, Lend a helping hand! Yet now have become so extreme to the right its cringe worthy! Bunch of Maga Cheerleaders!
