Who The Hell Are Lynyrd Skynyrd?
Caroline Boucher, Disc, 16 February 1974
LYNYRD SKYNYRD is, in fact, a used-car salesman somewhere in Florida. At least, he doesn't spell his name quite like that – the band had to change it around a little when they christened themselves, as Mr S was the gym coach who threw them out of high school for having long hair. As a sweet form of revenge, they changed the name sufficiently to escape being sued, and gave the man a degree of immortality.
