Not wearing a seat belt. A simply device that may have saved his life.

Cool rendition. Reminds me of the days of my youth, BUT in my opinion the most memorable Lynyrd Skynyrd lyric ever written was "I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern man don’t need him around anyhow.”

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you’re in my way
There’s too much coke and too much smoke

But the question is “was their too much coke”.

Many years ago guitar wiz Wayne Perkins did some studio work for the band. They invited him to play in concert in his hometown of Birmingham, Ala. (He may have played other dates, but that’s the one I remember.

You rock.

Speaking of Tim Cook, do you believe that story he told about walking home from school and seeing the Kkk burning a cross in the yard of his black neighbors?

That always sounded like a crock to me.

Tim Cook grew up in Robertsdale, Alabama. He was born in 60. The town has about 3.9% black population now. His dad worked for a ship yard.

It could be possible that in 66 at age 6 he walked by a residential cross burning, but not nearly as likely if it was in the 30s, 40s, or 50s. By the time he was 10 it was 1979, perhaps som poster can tell us what it was like in Robertsdale in 1970.
