It doesn’t matter if you’re in the North Country of the state that verily defined the word Yankee, turn on the radio and sooner or later Lynyrd Skynyrd will sing you a line about segregationist Governor George Wallace with the word LOVE in it
“In Birmingham they love the governor (boo-hoo-hoo)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?”
Why are we still singing this song 47 years later anyway?

PS Any guy who tries to explain Southern rock, Neil Young, black back-up singers, or plane crashes to me will be blocked. But would def welcome thoughts by @Will_Bunch or @Dan__Rapaport
