This is the second time Skynyrd has blown off the Missouri State Fair. Why do you make dates you won't keep! Aren't we a big enough venue for you? And why do you wait til the very last minute so there's no hope of getting someone else who WILL play here?... Don't bother coming back, I intend to make it my personal mission to see to it noone will buy tickets if you do decide to book the fair again...
I'd never been to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, and now I never will!!

Get better and take the time you need to do it right... I hope you are better by CMAC later in the month, but I understand if you are still healing
