Skynyrd Forever

Lynyrd Skynyrd is the greatest Southern Rock band ever, and they're one of my all time favorite bands. We're heading out to see them in Hershey, Pa. this weekend. We thought there would be a party bus taking all the Hill-Billies out there (and J tried his best to find it)but alas, there was none to be found. So we're just going to drive and have to put a cap on our "poison whiskey" comsumption.

It's going to be awsome. I will be listening to nothing but Skynyrd till the concert tomorrow which will annoy my co-workers but whatevs. Jarratt and I will be rooting through our closets trying to find our old Skynyrd T-shirts. But in case we can't, I have a back up. Last year I made a "Re-Birth of the South" inspired 4th of July T-shirt. It says ALABAMA on the front and I wrote Roll Tide on the back of it in red sparkles. I also put ribbons on it. It pretty much rules.

This is the bar in Jacksonville that inspited "Gimme Three Steps"
The drummer of this band is named Artimus Pyle. Clearly, that will be the name of my first born son since it's the greatest name ever.

There are alot of people who don't inderstand my love for Skynyrd. The first weekend of my college career, I went to this frat party at the most WASPY rich fraternity in the universe. I was in the basment gettnig a beer when "Sweet Home Alabama" came on the stereo. I was so delighted that I sreamed out SKYNYRD FOREVER! and at that very moment the record screached to a hault and I was cast out of the fancy party. If you want to be cast out of fancy parties and/or get mad respect the next time you're at a honky-tonk bar, I suggest you by the album Gold and Platinum immidiatado. It's the best mix of Skynyrd ever put together.

Skynyrd goes really well with beer. I plan on drinking alot of beer tomorrow night. Here's a list of songs I want them to play:
Gimmie Back my Bullets
I Know a Little
Don't ask Me No Questions
Down South Jukin'
Simple Man
Whiskey Rockin' Roller
Poison Whiskey
Wino
Double Trouble
You Got That A-Right
T for Texas
and clearly Sweet Home and Free Bird.
