    I'm glad you gave Skynyrd another chance. They are a solid classic rock band. I play this song for my son, he is 9. I'm hoping the message of the song and my parenting skills help him achieve being a "simple man" ❤

    Vin and Sori i just want to thank you both for helping me realize the true meaning of this song and many others that you have decrypted , i believe i was blinded by how beautiful it sounded and just couldn't hear the importance of the words. I am very young at 23 to be finding out this huge deeper meaning but i feel thankful to be able to know this early in my life so i dont have to change myself for other people anymore i just have to look inside myself for the answer. When i find someone that i can love, start a family with and have children one day il have the words to explain. i appreciate the hard work and honesty u are doing for those in need including the ones who didn't even know they needed this kind of help.

    Ronnie never wrote the lyrics down for any Skynyrd song because he said "if you have to write them down" they ain't good enough. This song is a total masterpiece of a song from beginning to end, R.I.P. Ronnie Van Zant, who was taken from us way too young, but never ever, EVER forgotten.

    Fun fact! The plane that Skynyrd was on when it went down was actually supposed to be used buy another band going on tour. That was band was Aerosmith!!! They ended up passing on the plane because the tour manager decided the plane was not safe enough to use for a tour. Just imagine how different classic rock would be with more Skynyrd and less Aerosmith.

      Yeah, but RVZ alone was really the heart and soul of the band. He was the lead singer, the main songwriter/lyricist, the band was never close to same after that. A form of the band lives on, but the true Lynyrd Skynyrd died that day.

    Ronnie Van Zant is a very complex and down to earth personality. Allot of Skynyrd's songs were just fun feel good songs that tell a story, like "Gimme Three Steps" and "Working For MCA". Then there were songs like this and "That Smell" and "Saturday Night Special" that were very deep and profound in it's simplicity

      Actually it is spelled Leonard Skinner......band's plays on words is kinda sarcasm to their former high school coach & teacher from Jackonville , Florida. Mr. Skinner was an hard ass to his students especially ones with long hair in the early '70's. When band wanted to name their band, they came up Lyrnyrd Skynyrd like a protest to him. But Mr. Skinner & the band healed their wounds years later. Even band invited Coach Skinner to be onstage. Coach Skinner is mentioned in the liner notes at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - LK was inducted in the hall.

    Sori nailed it exactly. Value lies in the heart not in a bank account.
    Leonard Skinner was their high school coach despising those long haired hippy looking drug users which they werent. Ronny Van Zandt kicked his brother Donny out of the band for his rock star downfalls. Donny started his own band .38 Special. Ronny recorded Mr. Saturday Night Special as a message to lil brother Donny.
    A .38 is known as a Sat. Night Special.
    Donny is currently lead singer of Lynerd Skynard. Hes learned well thanks to Ronny.

    That’s funny you say that, because I see pantera as the modern Lynyrd Skynyrd ! Southern rock, and southern thrash. My 2 favorite bands, if I might be so bold ? Complete outstanding originals ! Both blew up fast once they got it together ! Very catchy tunes. Musical gold ! Both surrounded with tragedies ! Both could have only been created in the south, of the United States of America 🇺🇸 !

    Would like to see your reaction to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "That Smell" or "Saturday Night Special". Those two might spark an interesting conversation...

    There is a saying that there are three versions of everyone. The way you see yourself, the way you think others see you, and the way others actually see you.

    Just by chance, this was the first song I heard on the radio the morning after Dime was killed; so I think of him every time I hear this.
