The depressing part is he's given every indication of being tired of supressing his liberalism and this, his first self-produced album, plays like a lib coming-out statement that is more defensive and hectoring than we expect from this dude. He's too damn late -- most people in Nashvile his age are cool with gays and uh Starbucks. I don't know who the fuck this is FOR cept ILM.

I don't want to derail this thread, but when Skynyrd's last album came out, you could pre-order a bundle that included a T-shirt depicting a wolf wearing a Confederate flag do-rag (yes, the ears poked out) and I am very sorry I didn't claim one while I had the chance (I work for their label).

Whoop, never mind - I misremembered. It was an American flag. I know there was some discussion of making it a Confederate flag at some point, though.
