Lynyrd Skynyrd

[CaptainDemon]

I'm a fan of classic rock, and particularly southern rock, and Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of my favorite bands, and I have this story about the song "That Smell."

In the opening lyrics to that song, there is a line that says "oak tree you're in my way." Now the majority of Lynyrd Skynyrd died in a plane crash (they ran out of gas in mid-air, which is not an intelligent way to go). Now the story goes that the lead singer for Lynyrd Skynyrd's body was found away from the tree, up against an oak tree, and he was just sitting there, dead, with no bruises or blood or anything.

And now, everytime I hear the opening lyric "oak tree you're in my way" I kind of get a chill cause that is some creepy stuff, kind of like he knew he was gonna die. Most great musicians who die have some song that makes you think they knew it was gonna happen, like Jim Morrisson, or Tupac.

I <3 classic rock! What are some of your other favorites?
I love Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Beatles, The Grateful Dead... hmm and probably a few others, but those are my favorites.

Oh and cool story btw. :)

Yeah, classic rock is pretty much all I listen to, aside from some newer stuff.

Favorites, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Guns N' Roses, Bob Dylan, Steve Miller Band, Bob Seager and the Silver Bullet Band, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Eric Clapton, The Who, AC/DC, Pink Floyd (very favorite), the above mentioned Skynyrd, Queen, Foreigner, definitely Zeppelin, the Eagles, and a whole lot of others. That's a pretty long list, but it's not in any particular order.
