You are correct. This song was meant to mock southern racist, hence the "BOO BOO BOO" referring to Wallace. Jimi Hendrix was their biggest influence. |

This is a very misunderstood song. The song is actually mocking southern racists. Ronnie Van Zant is on record saying that he disliked governor Wallace very much and that the "Boo Boo Boo" in the song was to boo the citizens of Montgomery. Also the line "we all did what we could do" was about ending segregation. Lynyrd skynyrd was actually a very progressive band that wrote songs that were pro gun control and praised Jimmy Carter in their 1976 movies Free Bird. Also, they were not from Alabama. |

You are way off. Ronnie Van Zant himself said that it was an anti-racism song. If you notice after "in Birmingham they love the governor" Ronnie says "BOO BOO BOO" He also says "we all did what we could do" in reference the getting rid of Governor Wallace. Ronnie said in an inter view that he disliked Wallace. |
