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.

I envy those of you who are able to be clever about this. I can't get past the fact that these are some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard.

nobody in that studio has any idea how to mix rap vocals

― relentless technosexuality (DJP), Monday, 8 April 2013 21:39 (eleven years ago) link
when LL finishes his rap and then they bring in paisley back, sliders all the way up, and when LL gets cut back in it sounds like he's rapping from across the mason dixon

that mix could use some fixin

and as bad as LL's lines are, and they are terrible, that tempo is doing nothing for him either

New York City was all for slavery. They actually voted 60 percent against — or maybe 70 against — Abraham Lincoln because they didn’t like the idea of slavery going away because there goes cotton and there goes tobacco trade, you know what I mean? It’s very hypocritical to feel like it’s just the South’s fault.

“I’m with my audience 100 percent in the Southern pride thing
Man, be proud of being from Alabama, or Florida, or hell, West Virginia. But "Southern pride" writ large only means one thing. That's why there's no "Northern pride." Because the fucking north didn't secede from the country as a whole in service of a morally reprehensible movement.
