I posted this because I wanted to discuss the band's use of the n-word in a few of their songs, but I don't really care anymore and nobody will every respond. In the even that someone does, is the band trying to be shocking or funny, or do they really thing racism is cool? I think racism is for fools. |

Prior to be added as a bonus track to Sister, this song was from this EP: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE47F17DD4EAA7120F39B3348CCBA7DFB1CD374F38212726175DBB83041814375EE51E9A3AAB98607BC01A8B32FA54506CCC8EE56F990673F3789E9AC633E2E3A7B&sql=10:8hmsa9cgb230 Which was a fore-runner to this album: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE47F17DD4EAA7120F39B3348CCBA7DFB1CD374F38212726175DBB83041814375EE51E9A3AAB98607BC01A8B32FA54506CCC8EE56F990673F3789E6AC613E2E3A7B&sql=10:w69hs33ba3dg Which came out between Sister and Daydream Nation. I'm sure there's a site that explains this better, but allmusic does an alright job. Read the Whitey Album review and the Ciccone Youth bio and think you'll kind of get it. |

| Lynyrd Skynyrd – Free Bird Lyrics | 21 years ago |

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/top/solos/ 2. "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd Soloist: Gary Rossington, Ed King, Allen Collins Album: Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd Year: 1973 Unless you're Forrest Gump, this isn't much of a surprise. This impotent three- pronged hillbilly guitar attack is exhausting to say the least. "Well, damn, bitch! They fingers bled on that thar solo," Junior Samples says. Well, I slammed my fingers in a car door when I was seven. They bled. That wasn't too bright, and neither is the soloing on one of the most revered rock compositions in history. For a solo that's supposed to be akin to a spontaneous "backyard jam," it sounds forced and phlegmatic as hell. A couple of years before, Neil Young (Skynyrd's arch enemy) recorded the ideal blueprint for long- playing guitar sparring matches on "Down by the River." The more you hear "Free Bird" the more evident it becomes how bereft of ideas these bloated, attitudinal hickoids really were. |

"Since then it's been a book you read in reverse So you understand less as the pages turn" That's a great line. |

My first exposure to this was the Minor Threat cover and I couldn't make any sense of it at all. It's clearly about someone being caught by the press (in a mag) doing dirty things (specifically kissing a man and smoking a fag). Whether it's a man seeing his girlfriend cheating or someone involved in a homosexual affair or anything else is unclear. It's a cool song. |
