That was weird. I watched that doc a few days ago and actually looked up Ed King to see if he was still alive, he had had a heart transplant a while back. I saw LS when they first came back after the accident in 1988. Ed was still playing his ass off. They kinda became a cover band of themselves in recent years, Gary Rossington was the only original one left. They're on their "final" tour now. One of my favorites bands of all-time.
My "Mr Breeze" name is from the song they made famous (written by JJ Cale) |
Saw them in 1974, tickets about 7.50. |

For those who may not know the story.
The fifth album from the legendary Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, Street Survivors, was the last album recorded by founding members Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Collins, as well as new guitarist Steve Gaines. On October 20, 1977, just three days after the album was released, a chartered plane carrying the three bandmates crashed in Louisiana, taking seven lives in all.
The album cover featured a photograph — shot at Universal Studios — of the band engulfed in flames: an image that was hard to ignore as an unfortunate and macabre premonition of the tragedy that soon followed.
At the request of the band’s families, the fiery picture was moved to the back of the album, and a new photo from the same shoot — with the band placed against a black background — was used on the cover. A 30th-anniversary re-issue, released in 2007, restored the original image back on the front.

I saw the remaining members play in a little bar in Big Sky, MT in the winter of 1992 (I think). Helluva show, with about 200 people. I think it was a ten dollar cover charge.

Yes! He spent more than 5 years as a POW in Vietnam. Refused to come home until others were released.

They say that the hardest thing a parent will ever have to do is bury their child.
I wonder how Roberta McCain (John's mom) is taking this-------she is 106 years old. |

From the classic, one of my favorites lines about Sally Field's handle ("Frog"): "Because you're always hoppin' around. And kinda you're cute, like a frog. And I'd like ta jump ya." Haha. Drive on, Bandit.
