What if?

...we all could be free as a bird?

What follows includes some symbolic elements (mainly the Confederate flag and its negative connotations) that I deeply disagree with. Yet, having spent so much time in the South from the late '60s onward, I also understand the other meanings of that flag. Although I would never accept the racism implicit in the Old South, I would easily embrace the rebellion of people who through music continue to yearn for a better world, a world where we all might fly like birds, above all of of the ugliness below.

In any event, this is the best current version of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd (live) that I have yet located:



Please watch and enjoy, all my fellow free birds.
