<p>Any fans of the band <strong><font size="3"><a href="http://www.drivebytruckers.com/" target="_self">Drive By Truckers</a></font></strong>?</p><p>Alternative Southern Rock & Roll is the best way I can describe them. They write really good/clever songs and at times write some silly stuff. They are a great band to see in a bar or listen to while drinking.</p><p>Good stuff in my opinion. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.perrynoid.com/mp3/dbt.mp3" target="_self">Here</a> is a song called Ronnie & Neil</p><p><font size="1">guitarist Patterson Hood explains:. "I wrote this song to tell of the misunderstood friendship between <strong>Ronnie</strong> VanZant and <strong>Neil </strong>Young:</font></p><p><font size="1">Church blew up in Birmingham<br />Four little black girls killed for no goddamn good reason<br />All this hate and violence can't come to no good end<br />A stain on the good name.<br />A whole lot of good people dragged threw the blood and glass<br />Blood stains on their good names and all of us take the blame<br /><br />Meanwhile in North Alabama, Wilson Pickett comes to town<br />To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound<br /><br />Meanwhile in North Alabama, Aretha Franklin comes to town<br />To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound<br /><br />And out in California, a rock star from Canada writes a couple of great songs about the<br />Bad shit that went down<br />"Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly told some truth<br />But there were a lot of good folks down here and Neil Young wasn't around<br /><br />Meanwhile in North Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd came to town<br />To record with Jimmy Johnson at Muscle Shoals Sound<br />And they met some real good people, not racist pieces of shit<br />And they wrote a song about it and that song became a hit<br /><br />Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil<br />Rock stars today ain't half as real<br />Speaking there minds on how they feel<br />Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil<br /><br />Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song<br />Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song<br />So He wrote "Powderfinger" for Skynyrd to record<br />But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet Home Alabama" to the lord<br /><br />And Neil helped carry Ronnie in his casket to the ground<br />And to my way of thinking, us southern men need both of them around<br /><br />Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil Rock stars today ain't half as real<br />Speaking their minds on how they feel<br />Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil<br /></font></p><a href="http://www.thecosmiccircus.com/"><img src="http://www.thecosmiccircus.com/sigpics/wiz.jpg" border="0" /></a> <p><a href="http://www.perrynoid.com/" target="blank">Perrynoid</a></p>
