'Freebird' ultimately unforgettable

Quote:
Lynyrd Skynyrd released the song 35 years ago. Since then, it has been an anthem, a demand, an ode to personal independence and the lamest heckle in the history of rock.
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."
