Dude, that's surly even for you.

Did you quit smoking again?

about a month ago. it's been a long month. i discovered the other day i prefer smoking and excessive drinking to exercise.

sticking with the exercise though. lame.

I remember once I was watching one of those ridiculous programs on Discovery, a southern version of American Chopper essentially, and the camera followed the staff of this bike shop when they all went to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert. It reminded me heavily of Redneck Zombies.

if Skynrd were still around, they would have done duets with Toby Keith and Keith Urban.

Toby Keith is as close as our generation has ever got to a Miles Davis. And KU has a hotter and crazier wife that eddie blabber will ever have.

cannot wait for the new movie comin out from toby.

Was just discussing this, oddly enough. In real life.

I prefer Sweet Home Alabama by quite a bit.

There's an interview somewhere with Neil Young where he admits that "Sweet Home Alabama" is a better song and that he'd much rather play it than "Southern Man."

they were from florida.

And Neil Young is from Canada, which is a lot farther from Alabama than Florida is.

before i knew anything about the lyrics or messages of either song, i knew that sweet home alabama annoyed the hell out of me and that i liked southern man.

knowing about the lyrics and messages, i still feel the same.

I believe he has played it live, at least a couple times. Seems like something Neil would do.

i don't believe he was leading anyone to believe that he was a southern man.

"Simple Man" is one of my favorite songs.

I'm not sure how this comment fits, if at all, but glad to know you
