Lynyrd Skynyrd Sells Out

"Not what you think, sure they’re selling out casinos and at one time were selling out stadiums but now they are selling out to corporate and political interest groups by headlining a FOX news/T-bagger dog and pony show called……wait for it.

“Sean Hannity’s Freedom Concert”

Also playing is Charlie Daniels. I Love Charlie as well, seen him like 6 times but I know he dips into the right side of the pool sometimes…but this is in the deep end for him as well.

This Skynyrd tour with Hannity is on the heels of a new recording called “God and Guns” where many of the lyrics were written FOR Lynyrd Skynyrd. That’s the first time LS has accept other’s lyrics for any LS tune.

I am sure everyone recalls Lynyrd Skynyrd’s powerful southern rock…they have a unique sound. “Free Bird is often called the best rock song of all time…and with song‘s like Cutris Lowe, That Smell….Tuesday’s Gone“…oh man…they have so many great songs and are an incredible band, but while once their music was written by and for the common man now the band has been bought…by the common industry. This isn’t trade marking logo’s BJ’ing…no this is phucking with reality. FOX? Really? Hannity? Really?

They bought my band!!"

...turn it up...

Those albums aren't worth as much as one might think. It was such a great seller that there's zillions of them around. I bought one a few years ago on Ebay for like $25 in nice shape.

I don't care about the $$ value of it -- I think I only paid $15 for it at the time- but it's still priceless to ME... I'll always be a diehard SKYNYRD fan!
