Imagine you're Southern
And you see someone wearing a t-shirt that says:

" Lynard Skynard was a Nerd, and this Nerd you cannot change. "

How would you feel? Would it make you want to find a big granite monument shaped like a washing machine and give it a big wet kiss?

2. Well...
Now I've GOT to hear Lynyrd Skynyrd's version of I am Womyn!

Anyway, no one would believe Santa was a nerd.

3. A scary sight:
My band once played Summerfest in Milwaukee a few years back. We were on the Harley Davidson stage. The band that went on just before us was a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band, entirely made up of Harley employees. Whoa, nelly, you've never seen so much black leather! Now, I'm no Skynyrd fan, but these boys were actually pretty good--I certainly wouldn't say anything disparaging to their faces, that is.

5. If Your Want Modern Southern Rock
You can do no better than the Drive By Truckers.

I heard them first at the Bonnaroo Festival this year and just heard them in Dallas last weekend. Great stuff! The dark rebel heart of Southern rock beats strong!

6. The existence of Southerners who do not admire Lynrd Skynrd

is often the subject of lively debate by those whose previous history of exposure to Southerners is non-existent to negative.

However, some very credible field studies have been done with findings of a total of 0 instances of the string "Lynrd Skynrd" in a surprising number of conversations where one or more of the participants is Southern.
