Love the music and guitar solo.

As far as the message, I have no issue with it. He was just speaking out on the problems from the past and present in the South.

Well I heard mister Young sing about her.

Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember.

A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow.

Harvest is one of the best albums of all time. Neil Young is one of the greatest songwriters of all time, paved the way for artists like Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, and was able to produce hits spanning 4 decades.

IIRC, Young and Skynyrd were actually pretty close. I think their response to southern man was pretty togue-in-cheek.

Neil did what poets have done for thousands of years: he observed and captured what he saw.

Bitch about the song all you want, but he was right. And that guitar/piano combo?? Southern Man jams, bros.

brb, going to listen to it right now.

LONG LIVE NEIL

Neil became friends and collaborated with Skynyrd later on. No problem with his opinions.
