“Southern Man”

From Neil Young’s “After The Gold Rush” album, his scathing take on life down South. It ticked off a whole lot of folks and prompted a response from Lynyrd Skynyrd with “Sweet Home Alabama.” But the whole thing blew over; Young and Skynyrd’s Ronnie Van Zandt actually became good friends. Neil even wrote a couple of songs for Skynyrd, but their 1977 plane crash happened and that idea went away.
