Tidbits of junk knowledge...

Even before Lynyrd Skynyrd existed, its members wanted to be as free as a bird. According to the Guardian and All Music, they began as a band called My Backyard, which vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Allen Collins guitar, and guitarist Gary Rossington founded while attending Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida. Bassist Leon Wilkeson and keyboardist Billy Powell were added shortly thereafter. They bandmates/schoolmates liked their hair long, but phys ed teacher Leonard Skinner essentially said, "Not in my backyard," which was school. That meant multiple suspensions. Since Skinner wouldn't get out of their hair, the group basically adapted his name and made it their own. They didn't stop there, though. The cover for their 1975 album, Nuthin' Fancy, displayed the logo of Skinner's real-estate business along with his name and phone number. Thousands of calls poured in from fans attempting to contact Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Sadly, the teacher who inspired them eventually developed Alzheimer's disease. In a touching show of gratitude, Gary Rossington honored Skinner: "Coach Skinner had such a profound impact on our youth that ultimately led us to naming the band, which you know as Lynyrd Skynyrd, after him. Looking back, I cannot imagine it any other way."

And the one thing to always remember about 'Old' is why that person is old. Here's an old "C&W" song that 'explains' what I'm trying to say rather well...

☆ Ballad of the Old Cowboy ☆

Loved the song, but as you and i both know, he is even now snooping around our front porch. Yeah, i too would love to drop the hammer on him, and if he came at me violently, would do it, without a second thought. The thing is he is just working the job, he will come quietly one night and say it is time. Knowing that he and i have served the same master for a lot of years, and still are, i will say lets go. What took you so long?

I love the way you said that...but, he's still going to have to sneak up on me and 'take me out' in an ambush. I intend to fight to the very end...
