I was riding in a tour bus in Germany and/or Luxembourg, and the driver had some tunes on the speakers. One song played was “Sweet Home Alabama”. Kind of fun to be riding along in Germany listening to SHA.
It’s funny to hear it playing in the background during breaks in the action of nationally televised NHL games in Canada. LOL.
It’s surprising just how many outside the US know and love Sweet Home Alabama. Sing along, absolutely thrill to it. Strikes a chord, especially among the historically dispossessed. But then, so does the battle flag.
The first time I went overseas, I saw “Lynyrd Skynyrd” spray painted on a wall on the outskirts of Rome.
