also, I am 56 years old and grew up listening to Lynyrd skynyrd. at one point in my life, before the plane crash, they were probably my favorite band. that said, I know a great deal about rock music in general and have seen hundreds of concerts throughout my life and have never known anyone to consider Lynyrd Skynyrd a joke either back in the old days or today. you were the first person to ever use that term in the same sentence as this band. I also just saw them recently before the Chinese covid was set upon us and they were fantastic it was their farewell tour and they sounded great.
this is definitely one of my top five favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd songs. By the way, I think it's completely wrong to analyze and judge the social norms and habits of a Southern rock and roll group from the early 70s using today's screwed up overly politically correct, cancel culture America where everything is based upon feelings and political sensitivities of a few versus the majority. Lynyrd Skynyrd is not a racist rock band by any stretch of the imagination. if you really knew anything about the members of both eras of this band, you would know that they were very integrated with black Southern culture in saying about many of Americans forgotten people, unlike the liberal elites from up North.
He's not talking literally about a gun. I do belieeeeve he's talking about his "gun"?
