One of my all-time very favorite songs. I wish I wrote it.
Ronnie and Neil
Church blew up in Birmingham Four little black girls killed for no goddamn good reason All this hate and violence can't come to no good end A stain on the good name. A whole lot of good people dragged threw the blood and glass Blood stains on their good names and all of us take the blame
Meanwhile in North Alabama, Wilson Pickett comes to town To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound
Meanwhile in North Alabama, Aretha Franklin comes to town To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound
And out in California, a rock star from Canada writes a couple of great songs about the Bad shit that went down "Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly told some truth But there were a lot of good folks down here and Neil Young wasn't around
Meanwhile in North Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd came to town To record with Jimmy Johnson at Muscle Shoals Sound And they met some real good people, not racist pieces of shit And they wrote a song about it and that song became a hit
Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil Rock stars today ain't half as real Speaking there minds on how they feel Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil
Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song So He wrote "Powderfinger" for Skynyrd to record But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet Home Alabama" to the lord
And Neil helped carry Ronnie in his casket to the ground And to my way of thinking, us southern men need both of them around
Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil Rock stars today ain't half as real Speaking their minds on how they feel Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil
-- Drive-By Truckers (2002)

3. One of my favorite albums of all time |

"Southern Rock Opera" by the Drive-By Truckers. It's an amazing piece of work from start to finish.

5. I LOVE that album, so much... |

And I love the way that at DU, so reliably, whenever some Skynyrd-bashing happens, this song is never far behind. :thumbsup:

12. Any album with a song about Rick Danko and Richard Manuel |
|
Has to be almost as good as an album with a song about Ronnie Van Zant and Neil Young. :D
Food! I had breakfast today with Teena, at a cool little diner in Long Beach called Heritage. She had the "L.A. Marathon", which increased my waist size just by looking at it, lol. But I have shed 15 since starting my gym routine, and that is not being taken away. :P

13. She called last night. |

I had my phone on vibrate and I missed it. x( After that, I went out to hear some candidates, like our Gubernatorial candidate and some Congressional candidates. I need to call her back.
Hey, sushi and Thai food are healthy. :D Chiliburgers not so much, but hey, everyone needs a splurge now and then.
