I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

A worthy Skynyrd cause Why is not Lynyrd Skynyrd in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I dig the Ramones just fine, and AC/DC offers some pleasures. The Sex Pistols made one really outstanding record.
None of these other bands, however, worked in the same league artistically with Skynyrd. Song for song, and guitar line for guitar line, Lynyrd Skynyrd will whip ass on these other bands- and, yes, Neil Young as well. "Freebird" alone should have long since gotten Lynyrd Skynyrd into the Hall of Fame.
Did I neglect to mention "Sweet Home Alabama" or "Simple Man" or "That Smell" or "Tuesday's Gone" or "What's Your Name" or "The Ballad of Curtis Loew" or "Saturday Night Special" or "Gimme Three Steps"?
RIGHT HERE is a small gesture worth of your 30 seconds: a petition online asking for Lynyrd Skynyrd's induction into the Hall of Fame. Go ahead, do the right thing.
