His???

Uhm... you do know that is the name of the group not a person right?

The band was named after their high school gym teacher.

Isnt there only 1 founding member involved nowadays?
Hardly what we grew up listening to...

[Knothead]

Sweet home Alabama,
Play that dead band's song,
Turn them speakers up full blast,
Play it all night long...

---Warren Zevon, Play it all night long

Yep
The gym teacher exclaimed that none of the members of the band would "never amount to nothing"

Kinda like Jethro Tull.. nobody in the group with that name... he's the inventor of the seed drill

useless knowledge taking up space

[Blood_Luster]

or kinda how everyone in ZZ Top has a beard, except the only member who doesn't, last name happens to be Beard.
(LOL that nothing to do with anything I just wanted to throw out that random fact.)
Lynyrd Skynrd is a great band.

Add another one, Pink Floyd... in fact, they were so used to having people ask them, in Have A Cigar they say the line "by the way, which ones Pink?" )

Actually Skynyrd has a couple founding membes left. Gary Rossington & Billy Powell. Leon Wilkenson passed away in 2001. The rest of the band is not original (altho, Johnny VanZant fit's in quite well for Ronnie).

The last I remember, A plane with the band on it crashed and burned. I liked their music. Didn't know they were back.

Only in Alabama can you find a triple negative!
