I had a great Dad who was a simple man.He didn't start family till rather late in life first child at 32 I was born when he was 41.He was born 1922.very poor one of 9 kids grew up in a log cabin in Kentucky.Lived through the Depression. Drafted into the Army in 1943 served in the 2nd Armoured Infantry under Gen Patton.He only went to 2nd grade.Cut timber and worked in a sawmill till he became disabled with heart problem at 50. His life story could be a movie.He would be 102 in March of next year miss him immensely.He died at the age of 66.He was a simple man and I'm proud to say I am too.I'm a rich man without money.I had love and understanding from a good and simple man.
I'm 65 now and growing up my parent's never spoke about how to become a man. I had to figure it out on my own. I have 2 kids my oldest is a boy and then my daughter, So when they were growing up I told them what to do to be happy with yourself and just be you and just the simple things in life can make you happy! I must say they have grown up to be great adults and that makes me proud! Thanks for your reaction. Love and Peace you two! 😄
Forby Leonard Skinner (January 11, 1933 - September 20, 2010) was an American high school gym teacher, basketball coach, and businessman from Jacksonville, Florida. He is known in popular culture as the eponym of the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd; Skinner was the band members' teacher.
They made so much great music in such a short time! They are one of the few bands/artists that I can listen to every song on every album without wanting to skip a song. They had a huge variety of genres or styles of music, but I loved them all!
My dad was awesome, and he gave me this kind of advice!! I was most certainly blessed with wonderful parents that tried to prepare me for the journey I was starting. They gave me the tools I needed and any failures along the way were on me for simply not heeding their advice. That's another point, they didn't tell me how to live, but instead advised me on to live. I thank them dearly for their advice.
Grew up listening to this band and yes there music is amazing love your reaction videos you guys are awesome and yes Lulu you look gorgeous as always 😍👍
Lynyrd Skynard (just like Jimmy Buffet which you've been listening to) is gospel 🙌 for us Southerners. I live 45 min from LS hometown, my town is where Tom Petty is from & man are we proud. Yes, they are great story tellers. EVERYONE knows "Sweet Home Alabama's" chorus just like we all know the chorus to "Dont Stop Believin". People now make a big controversy out of the lyrics without knowing the back story. Great song. "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" "Shinedown" "That Smell" "Gimme Three Steps"
Its the bands name, Ronnie Van Zant was the lead vocalist. When you get a chance you should check out Sweet Home Alabama from the live show in Oakland in 1977. Its pretty good. And yes their music lives on because of you and others who are just discovering this band and once you discover them you'll never forget them. Thanks for the reaction.
Did you know that when they eventually put the band back together, the new singer who has been with the band since back then is the original singer's little brother.
Yes, you are correct: singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and Steve's sister Cassie, also one of the back up singers) were all killed. Cassie watched her brother burn to death before she bled to death. They were pinned in the plane wreckage. Drummer Artimus Pyle, a former US Marine, crawled out. And with a rib sticking out of his chest, walked through the swamp and woods until he found a house and help was alerted. It was a horrific event.
I was nine years old when the members died in a plane crash. They after my birthday. And Gary Rossington the last surviving member has the way March 5, the day after I had my stroke for the way to remember the great greatest band.
Every song is a story It is what Ronnie VanZant felt Workin for MCA That Smell MR BANKER Ballad of Curtis Lowe I Ain't the one Needle and the Spoon Pick any eatly album any song Wont be disappointed
When listening to a Skynyrd song you have to be aware of who wrote the lyrics. They did play some music written by others but if Ronnie VanZant was one of the writers you can be sure that there will be meaning and feelings in the lyrics. Ronnie was the leader of the band and a little older than most of the original members. In an interview, I think it was Gary Rossington that said when they got old enough to drive it was Ronnie that taught them. He became somewhat of a stand in father figure during the early years of the band. Remember it started when they were still in high school. I think possibly the greatest garage band to ever exist. ( Garage band = a group of musicians that start out practicing together in someones garage, or in the case of Skynyrd from northern Florida, a car port. Allen Collins mother's car port).
🔱🎤💀💭•••M. KANE 💪👕 👖 •••🙊👉ONE OTHER THING ABOUT THE BAND, PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE HOW TIGHT THEY WERE. BY THAT I MEAN, THEY WERE SO PROFESSIONAL. RONNIE WAS LIKE A CONDUCTOR. WHEN YOU WATCH THEM LIVE YOU CAN SEE HE COULD COMMUNICATE BY LOOKING AT THEM AND WITH HAND SIGNALS.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is actually an high school teacher that one of the band members hated growing up ….but it’s spelled differently ….to avoid any lawsuits….but it sounds the same…
Technically . . . Lynyrd Skynyrd IS the name of a person, it's just been respelled for marketing/copyright reasons. He was a band member's gym teacher. We used to call "phys ed" teachers gym teachers, back in the day. . . . .
schools? at least american schools, do not teach anything any more. i was blessed with my kindergarten years in philipino schooling. dad was a USAF pilot and served in vietnam. my mother and i lived in the philipenes, and dad would visit us between sorties, combat excursions, etc... he always insisted i partake of the education provided in the country we were, never "base" schooling. rather cultural schooling. i did first grade and part of 2nd in alaska, still public schools. finished 2nd grade and started 3rd in tennessee. finished 3rd, 4th, 5th, and some 6th grade, in england. british schools. learned to use me fork to slide peas onto my knife and eat them. learned how to write with a "fountain pen". google it if your unsure what that is. learned alllllll british history from perhaps the 900's all the way up to when us "yanks" stole the USA from britain and even took away their victory against adolph hitler? apparently, "they" would have won that war but we beat them to it. when we came back to the usa, i promptly failed 6th grade. too much british history, not a lick of american history. redid 6th grade and never looked back. graduated american high school, still all public, at the age of 18 1/2. us army basic training began the next week. i love and deeply miss my dad, for it was he that made me discover, we are all different but yet the same. RIP and HONOR Thomas Lawrence Minnis!!!!!! sorry if i rambled, thank YOU if you read it all the way through.

Being 60+, I remember when this came out. It was a life message to our generation, especially if you were from the south.
I remember the plane crash. That was a day.

Excellent advice for every parent to give to their children. If we all did this, the world would be a much better place.

best times ever growing up in the seventies and that classic guitar rock and roll. Lynyrd Skynyrd legends
As them being story tellers, their best story is The Ballad of Curtis Loew
Great song but by no way their greatest song 😅😊

After 50 years, Simple Man is STILL my all time favorite song! I will be 66 this year...
I was nine years old when the members died in a plane crash. They after my birthday. And Gary Rossington the last surviving member has the way March 5, the day after I had my stroke for the way to remember the great greatest band.
Call Me The Breeze, T for Texas, I Need You. Underrated but Amazing
My favorite song from them is “T for Texas “ ! Great all around song. I would call it a musical masterpiece!
Every song is a story
It is what Ronnie VanZant felt
Workin for MCA

And simple truths.

Americans Love drugs & music.
I like the band, but I hate this song. Life is not simple and a simple man is ignorant to the rest of life's experiences.
As usual nice tlts
There are lots of concert video of them look little harder.
