Music Break – Lynyrd Skynryd & Little Feat

June 10, 2012 Jaye Ryan Music 12

Lynyrd Skynyrd

White America

In these rough times, it is easy to fall in to feelings of gloom and despair, maybe the best that we can do is to be raptured out of this terrible world…. nah, that’s not for us, we’re still in here doing battle for the forces of light against the black forces of … darkness.

In such rough times, it’s good to take a music break and to enjoy the best of Southern Rock. My top two choices are Lynyrd Skynryd and Little Feat.

I sampled these two great Southern Rock bands when I attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville in the mid-1980s: a beloved, unique, special place, though I can’t say nice things about the violent, hateful Nashville Police Department that chased my White Yankee ass, shot at me, charged me with “Failure to Obey an Officer”.

If Nashville Tennessee Officer Gluck is reading this – you S****, but to all the great White folks in the great state of Tennessee and throughout the beloved Southland, please enjoy these two great songs from Lynyrd Skynryd and Little Feat. God bless and God protect our people in these troubled times.

  1. Here is another goodun.

    John Anderson lamenting the changes in the South. Of course, he ignores the racial Elephant in the Living Room, so perhaps some of your creative readers can up date the lyrics to reflect todays realities?

    Chorus:

    “Dixie’s had a face lift
    I guess she is looking better
    But I kinda liked the old one
    I never will forget her
    Look away!”

  2. Thanks Cb. Don’t remember that song but being a son of the South(Florida specifically), that one hit home.

    LS and LF are two of my favorite bands too.

  4. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Little Feat are really good bands. Why didn’t you choose Oh, Atlanta or Dixie Chicken to represent Little Feat? Waiting For Columbus is close to the best live album I’ve ever heard.
    Personally, I prefer Neil Young but I understand he’s not well liked down South. You’ve got to admit he has some good songs, right? Anyway, I’m just a Mid-Atlantic Anabaptist raised Lutheran who imbibed the 60’s culture and belatedly found out there was a method behind the madness. As the Good Book says, “Maranatha” and I don’t care what you think about it. Jesus, come.

  7. Old-time ballads are the best, music should tell stories, not be just sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXL-q-k_P5s&feature=fvwrel

    One of my all-time favourites, heard it sometimes on the “Old Sheriff” radio show when I was young: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulOI3wGvmng&feature=relmfu

    “As the Good Book says, ‘Maranatha’ and I don’t care what you think about it. Jesus, come.” Thanks, Markus. It’s time to leave for church right now, let’s all get there!

  8. Lordy! Mosin Nagant,

    I didnt think anyone but me liked Gid Tanner, much less a feller from way up Nawth in New Hampshire!

    I usta hear those old time Georgia Fiddle bands on my pappy’s old records when I wuz a youngun way back when.

    Here is some more gooduns from that era:

    There was a time when half time shows at SEC football games the marching bands would play “Dixie” and the whole stadium would stand up and cheer. I guess that stopped in the 70s as part of the “reeducation” of the South.

    As the last chorus in that John Anderson songs says:

    “Dixie’s had a face lift
    I guess she is looking better
    But I kinda liked the old one
    I never will forget her
    Look away!
    Gone away
    Far away
    Dixie Land”

    Agreed – those two songs are outstanding SR songs/athems.

    I chose LF’s “Willin'” because this song has special meaning to me – it basically reflects my mood in life after a virtual whole/half life of fighting for our people against overwhelming, negative, anti White forces:

    I’m a bit beat up, got a lot of bumps and bruises – haven’t had awe inspiring victories, but I’m still in the game, still ready and …

    willin’

    I sing “Willin” at karaoke when I am in full biker gear – the crowds seem to like it or else they don’t want to get on my bad side when I am dressed in black biker leather.

  10. Thanks, Chairborne, they’re all good. Actually I’m from a lot closer to the LINE, not as far north as New Hampshire. But look at those Anglo-Celtic people, not unusual but typical of northern farm country folk, who would pass as well for rural Virginians or Kentuckians or further south, who have the same music in the same blood.

    Anyway, I’ve always liked that real old-time music, Clairborne, ever since I was young. “The Old Sheriff” radio show, by a former sheriff from Nottingham, was my favourite entertainment back then. We didn’t have TV.

  12. If you want a visual example of how much California has changed since the 70s, check out the Lynyrd Skynryd concert in Oakland on youtube. Stars and Bars waving amid a sea of white faces. That is gone, forever.
