[edit] Neil Young/Ronnie VanZant?

It is stated that Neil Young and Ronnie VanZant were actually friends. As I understand it, Young released a song "Souther Man", which decries racism toward blacks by whites in Alabama, or the South in general. Then, Lynard Skynard released a song with a reference that Alabama, or the South in general, doesn't need a man like Neil Young around. First of all, that would tend to imply the the band members of Lynard Skynard were for racism, and secondly, if someone said in a song that I wasn't welcome in a place because I told the truth in a song, I could never be friends with anyone connected with the release of such a song.

Maybe I'm missing something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.10.5.122 (talk) 18:25, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
