That Wasn't Skynyrd You Heard

Note to Shelby Harwood: I hate to break it to ya, kid, but "Lynyrd Skynyrd" effectively died in a plane crash in 1977! No offense,

Note to Shelby Harwood: I hate to break it to ya, kid, but "Lynyrd Skynyrd" effectively died in a plane crash in 1977! No offense, but I suspect you hadn't even arrived on the planet yet. I was a mere 16 when I saw them at the Long Beach Arena (in Long Beach, CA) earlier that year and I happened to have been walking down by the Deschutes river this evening. Unfortunately, I can assure you that the sounds coming out of the amphitheater tonight bore little resemblance to the group I heard back in the old days...
