@B A - And one of the elements of that responsibility it to find a partner worthy of having a child with..... just like a male's responsibility is displaying aspects/characteristics that makes him WORTHY of that decision. I'm not talking badly about single mothers... I'm talking badly about the MEN who have left those mothers single to begin with. One of the best indications of a "man worthy of respect" is a man who would go out of his way to raise his child in a stable environment. Sadly, THAT portion of the situation has been a disappointment far too long. (again, I'm pointing a finger directly at men who have not been living up to the expectations of being a GOOD man).

Every song written by Ronnie Van Zant is a song written about his life. He is just telling a story and it’s up to u to listen to whatever song u want and hear a part of his life. It was a sad day when he died and unfortunately he died before ever rehiring Ed King back into the band who wrote a lot of their songs as well.

I so agree John, it seems like there's so many folks in this string that just don't get it. It's sad they don't see or get the message of this song. Every time they did it live VanZant would say how special it was to him. The "One more from the road" live album version was incredible, in my opinion the best he ever sounded before the crash. It never sounded the same again. There's a message there as well, you're probably the only one besides myself in this string who gets that message.

The first time Al Kooper (who was their first real producer and produced "Pronounced") heard this was at a rock club in Tallahassee. Skynyrd was one of two bands playing that night. The first was a hard rock boogie band and the crowd ws jumping. Skynyrd then took the stage at the other end of the floor and started Simple Man, and everyone turned their way and the place went completely quiet. Kooper said he had never seen anything like it. Simple Man states a philosophy for all time; we can sure use it today

Listening to the Alice Copper radio show one night I learned a fun tidbit. When Skynrd was still a garge band their lead singer got a regular job, deciding to go with that rather than stick with the band. They put up advertisement for a new singer. Van Zant came to their garage to audition. He had quite a serious reputation about town for beating up people who offended. The reason they gave him the position was out of fear of being beat up later on. As it turns out the best decision they made for the band though.
