What's happened to the posts?

The Flag that everyone calls racist is a Battle flag it was used to determine where the troops were in ref to the commanders, a call to follow and reform on the Flag, well when its wrapped around the mike or hanging in the back its a call for all of the "Nation" to follow there commanders or their "Nation", we do that. So Fly it proud and your Nation shall follow. I have the 3rd to the last Confederate flag to fly over the SC capitol before their congress voted it off, and would love to have it signed by everyone in the band to hang proud, as it did a few years ago it maybe taken down but it will never be put away it will be right there for all to enjoy!

you set it straight almighty 01776!

Good gods allmighty that was like going to internet college kool

there ya go king ali that awt ta clear it up

that was really nice of 1776 to take all the time to research and post that info 10 fower rodggers over OOOOOTSS

Black Oak Arkansas was the first southern band to use a Rebel flag & did a cover of DiXiE.The record company even changed their name to Black oak Arkansas.They did that because they didn't think the band was ready to go nationwide.They were wrong,people liked it,Rock n roll is rebelous music.The "rebel" tag is more to do with teenage rebellion.Skynyrd picked up the flag for second helping & "Sweet Home Alabama". I always took S.H.A. as being ironic,it was an answer to Neil Young's "Southern Man".I took it to mean yeah there is still some bad things going down in the south,BUT,there is still sum good folks making changes & we even have LONG HAIR.Back then having long hair down here in the south could get U killed.As a civil war buff & having kinfolk fight(on both sides) in that war.The civil war is still the bloodest & more people were killed during it than all the other wars since then added together,that is what we need to remember a nation divided shall not stand.

The money misers love what is going on these days as our poiliticians play the blame game & laff all the way to the bank hank!!! dem or repug are the same money misers & know that as long as they have the working people fighting each other they will not see the real deal!!
FWIW I like Skynyrd,I Love the south & hate to see the talk that should be about their MUSIC turn into the same ole rehashing of the war of northern agression~Check out this rendition of DiXiE by Black Oak Arkansas>

Yeah, Mr. Butz, I agree that some people have ulterior motives in stirring up trouble amongst other people.
Heck, I practically live just south of the Canadian border and I still see Dixie as an interesting song. :)
Liked it since a previous history teacher included it on the "American history in song" compilation she made for the class. [In the interest of balance, "Battle Hymn of The Republic" was also included.]

Thank you Work DAZE for your kind comment....
I did put alot of effort into the Confederate Flag post here.....pls read it Skynyrd Nation if you haven't....
Theres alot of good informative things to be learned on the various subjects surrounding the controversey's..the Flag's Display...whom used it..How many Flags there are....why it was changed....whom made the various Flags...
I personally learned alot from compiling that info and was glad I spent the time doing the " Back to Internet College" thing.

Have a Great Weekend You All....
