I gotta tell you, Rickey Medlocke lived in some of the most magical years in this world's history. I lived in the '60s. I lived in the '70s, right into the '80s, and man, it was bad to the bone.

Our parents helped us, or we wouldn't be here. Lacy Van Zant and my mother used to sign for amps or loan us money to get to the gig or take us in their car. It's just like little sports guys - Little League and football players - whose parents help them. That's why they get good.

It's for the common people, people who have made this great country of ours. That's what the heck I say we always write about.
Johnny Van Zant Lynyrd Skynyrd -
We have a song called 'Skynyrd Nation.' It's just about what our fans are, what they do in getting ready for the show.

I saw B.B. King in concert one time where he had this guy that would bring him out a glass of water and towel to wipe his forehead with.
