'Freebird' ultimately unforgettable
Great article...
My favorite quote in it comes from Drive-By Truckers frontman Patterson Hood:
Quote:
|
(I) grew up in a small town in Alabama in the 1970s and that song was "deadly serious, and still is. But I feel like I could write you a dissertation in defense of it as being one of the most underrated songs in rock history and I could write about its utter banality, and in both papers I would be sincere. To be truthful, it didn't even occur to me there might be irony in 'Freebird' until I moved from my small town to a city."
