Got to agree with you there. The Tater Salad story is a great bit.

I pretty sure you wouldnt have too much trouble finding people like that in Tennessee. I'm sure Bama fans have pics similar to that who make fun of Tennessee.

Don't know the real story but a few of the lyrics suggest a defense of the south and George Wallace. There are 2 references to the governor - the song is from the 70's and Wallace was the most notable AL governor from that time.

I can't tell if they are Wallace supporters or not but Wallace is most associated with 2 things: 1) defying efforts to integrate - in particular integrate the Univ. of AL. and 2) getting shot and paralyzed. The lines of interest are "in Birmingham they loved the governor, and we all did what we could do" and "and the governor's true".

I believe the VanSant's are from Jacksonville, FL. I know a guy who says he went to high school with them. He claims they were thugs!

yeah they grew up in jacksonville and their principal was named "Leanard Skinner" so as a mock they named their band Lynyrd Skynyrd......wonderful band but sweet home alabama is a good song but if you wrote about it today it would have to include lyrics on how if bear bryant was still alive they would win championships :D

What are you talking about? They still win championships. They just made an incredible run in their defeat of an SEC team last season and it gets them a share of the national title. DUH.

"Sweet Home Alabama" was written as a retort (good word, huh?) for Neil :moon2: Young's "Southern Man" as if slavery and prejudice never happened above the Mason-Dixon Line. Lyrics are as follows:


Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

I saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks.
Southern man
when will you
pay them back?
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

Lily Belle,
your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man
comin' round
Swear by God
I'm gonna cut him down!
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

The guys that were in Skynerd were from the panhandle of Florida, aka the Redneck Riviera. That area back then had much more in common culturally with Alabama and Georgia than the rest of the state. As 9296potsguy explained, it was written as an answer to Neil Young's "Southern Man".

Volinbham, the line about Bumminham lubbin the gubnuh is in sarcasm. The B'ham area never voted for Wallace. It wasn't until the early 1980s that the interstates actually ran through bumminhayum. They stopped at the Jefferson County line. Gubnuh Jawudge Kolee Wahlis made this area pay for not voting for him.
