Freebird for me.
Max GillHOST
On SRO, they walked the line.
Max GillHOST
I forgot which song it was, but the song concedes that both Neil Young with Alabama and Southern Man have some value, and Sweet Home Alabama has some value.
Max GillHOST
Like, it kind of tries to balance the two things.
Max GillHOST
Yeah.
Max GillHOST
The Zevon song is squarely a diss track against Sweet Home Alabama.
Max GillHOST
Yeah.
Max GillHOST
So it's interesting that DBT is like with a definitive like, no, that song sucks.
Michael MurrayHOST
They're accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, too easy to misconstrue.
Michael MurrayHOST
And, of course, in the biggest hit by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which is Sweet Home Alabama, they're also pushing back on this notion that Neil Young has made a judgment about everybody in the South without perhaps having all of the knowledge he needed before passing that judgment.
Max GillHOST
Multiple kind of references to Sweet Home Alabama in this one.
Max GillHOST
Maybe not references, but just sort of conjunctions.
Max GillHOST
That song references The Swappers.
Max GillHOST
Listening to the opening of this song, When I hear that, I kind of hear Sweet Home Alabama, and I track down what I believe is the chord progression.
Max GillHOST
Sweet Home Alabama opens with a – the basic chord progression is D, C, G.
Max GillHOST
This one, Ronnie and Neil, has a recurring progression that's longer, but it is D, C, G, F, D. I think that's probably a conscious reference as well.
John ByrdHOST
That is so off-putting.

Michael MurrayHOST
I have this thing and it happens a lot in country music where bands will reference singers will reference other singers or other bands or things like that.
Michael MurrayHOST
And actually, the first time I ever heard that happen that I can remember is in Sweet Home Alabama.
Michael MurrayHOST
When I was a kid, I knew who Neil Young was.
Michael MurrayHOST
But now in Sweet Home Alabama, this band is singing and Neil Young is part of the lyrics.
Michael MurrayHOST
And that kind of – I was like, but Neil Young writes songs and his songs are on the radio.
Michael MurrayHOST
How can he be in a song? That's the best way I can put it when I was a kid.

J-BoHOST
I'm 15 years old, playing it on the radio in 1975.
J-BoHOST
And Roger, you're right there with Sweet Home Alabama and Free Bird.
J-BoHOST
You guys are from the UK.
J-BoHOST
Was it kind of an intentional? It's a little bit of Southern Rock, full in the city.
Chris PriorHOST
I Got the Same Old Blues from Skinner on the album Gimme Back My Bullets, came out in 1976.
Chris PriorHOST
Before that, from the album Second Helping, a tune that must have become an anthem for the southern states of America back in 1974 when the album was released, Sweet Home Alabama.
Chris PriorHOST
and starting the set from the sixth album released in 1977 called Street Survivors, a tune called That Smell.
Chris PriorHOST
Now this, strangely enough, was an album that was released three days before a plane crash which actually killed three members of the band and three other people.
