Title: the Last Free Bird has Flown
Post by: Herman on March 06, 2023, 06:58:25 PM
Gary Rossington was the last remaining original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the second last member of the Ronnie Van Zant era. Artimus Pyle is still alive.

And in later years

Ronnie Van Zant wrote this song about Gary Rossington being drunk and stoned and hitting a tree in his brand new car.

That one and Gimme Back My Bullets. Those two were their apex. Fuck Freebird, I only heard it a couple of times and it shat me to tears. Drunks used to request it all the time at venues that I worked at. Along with Rockin' In The Free World... yeah, fuck Neil. A southern man don't need him around anyhow.
