Oh, Alabama
Banjos playing through the broken glass
Windows, down in Alabama
See the old folks
Tied in white robes
Hear the banjo
Don't it take you down home?
He was undoubtedly a racist. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

He'd had congestive heart failure for a good while - clear on back to '96 when he had to leave the reunion tour. It's weird - he was from California, and probably had more of an influence on Skynyrd's "sound" than any of the other members... He actually played bass on the entire first album as well. Helluva musician...
Sorry to hear that. Showtime is promoting the hell out of a Skynyrd documentary that looks interesting.

Wait, what? How does that make sense? He helped write "Sweet Home Alabama", one of the greatest songs in rock history. Which by the way, is anti-racist, as it was a blast at Neil Young's sweeping condemnation of the South as being ALL racist.
Strawberry Alarm Clock is/was at best, just okay.

My guess is none since he said he was talking about people he listened to.
