	CNN.com - The Soprano in the Garage - Feb 22, 2006
		The Massachusetts-born, New Jersey-raised Van Zandt, 55, with his trademark head scarf and voice dripping cool, has been playing rock 'n' roll almost as long as he's been listening to it -- expertise that works its way into "Underground Garage," with its historical tidbits and record-label minutiae.
		Van Zandt played in an early Springsteen band, Steel Mill, in the late '60s before stints on the oldies circuit as a backup guitarist and then with Southside Johnny, with whom he formed the Asbury Jukes.
		Van Zandt can't re-create the raucous days of the Stone Pony, but maybe he can start some new traditions.

		Those are the words that Patterson Hood puts in the mouth of Ronnie Van Zandt at the end of Southern Rock Opera.
		Ostensibly, it's about a mythical band named Betamax Guillotine; the name comes from the urban legend that it was actually a VCR, that broke loose during the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash, that killed Ronnie Van Zandt.
		"Ronnie And Neil" explores the myth of the Van Zandt/Young feud (see "Southern Man," "Alabama," and "Sweet Home Alabama" for background study) and debunks it, revealing the truth of the mutual admiration society the two men enjoyed.

	My Tribute To Ronnie Van Zant
		I was barely 14 when Ronnie Van Zant and three other members of Lynyrd Skynyrd were swiped away in a plane crash at the height of their all too short career.
		I've heard rumors; one in particular, that Ronnie had planned to hand the vocals over to Johnny after the conclusion of the Street Survivors tour, so that he could pursue a country music career.
		It is for Ronnie, not for commercial purposes.

		The ringleader is Johnny Van Zant (younger brother of founding member the late Ronnie Van Zant), who sings with power and conviction and talks to the crowd like they were family friends over for a BBQ.
		Powell and Rossington raise a million goosebumps in the sweet sentimental intro, Van Zant hits home during the powerful verse, and the entire band shows power in the majestic double time triple guitar outro.
		In 1987 he was called to fill the shoes of his older brother, the late Ronnie Van Zandt (well, Ronnie never wore shoes), a bigger-than-life figure in the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

		Despite the fact that Andre Gide looks a bit like a rock musician, one would imagine that if we could arrange for Andre Gide and the Van Zandt brothers to dine together, that they would find little common ground over which to converse (unless Kenny Chesney were also eating with them).
		The prolific Van Zandt brothers, - Ronnie, Johnnie and Donnie, have been a force in Country Rock for decades.
		Ronnie Van Zandt was the founder and lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd until he died in the band’s infamous plane crash in 1977, at which point Johnnie replaced him.

		Skynyrd was on top of the world with a popularity that showed no signs of flagging until that plane crash in 1977 that claimed the lives of Van Zandt and two other band members.
		The author, who was the band's security manager and long time friend of Van Zandt, writes a fond reminiscence of the band, from their lower class backgrounds in Jacksonville, Florida to today where Skynyrd still tour and record.
		The Skynyrd story is really about Ronnie Van Zandt who declared himself the lead singer of a up and coming bunch of kids and molded them into what we know as Lynyrd Skynyrd.

		Skynyrd were an impressive band, (unbelievable piano throughout) and founder/frontman Ronnie Van Zandt had the whole package.
		On October 20, 1977, Ronnie, Steve Van Zandt, sister Cassie Gaines and one of the backup singers were killed when their plane ran out of fuel and crashed, ironically, in a swamp in Mississippi.
		Founding members Gary Rossington and Alan Collins formed Rossington Collins in 1984, and in 1987 brother Johnny Van Zandt reformed Skynyrd with some of the survivors.

	"Lynyrd Skynyrd" Right OR Wrong?
		In the years since the widow of lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt took the "New" band to court and it was ruled that if at ANY time there were less than 3 original members of the band then they would be required to change thier name....they have blatantly ignored this for years.
		Anyway, Ronnie's widow asked that there be at least three surviving members of the original band, for them to keep the name.
		Just because some of the members change, the lead is Ronnie's brother and i think its a good memoriam of his name.

		During his teen years his drumming was influenced by: The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Who, and of course Lynyrd Skynyrd.
		He has always loved the vocal styles of John Lennon with the Beatles (what harmonies), John Fogerty, Paul Rodgers, and Ronnie Van Zandt.
		Starting Whiskey Creek in 1982 to fill the void caused by Skynyrd's tragic plane crash only strengthened the love for their music that is still in his blood.

		Now it is 2002 and the band has carried on after all the hardships over the years.
		Ronnie Van Zandt's younger brother Johnnie has filled in admirably for his brother to keep the southern rock flag flyin' high.
		They both sound hauntingly similar to their brother and at the same time, I find it comforting to hear those similarities on their latest rockin' southern fried offering "Turn It Up!" Playing it loud is a prerequisite to hearing this music, as it should be.

		Since then, Bob has played in bands such as The Morris Bros. Band, Maskeraid and Jack, which have been local favorites for years.
		Having the thunderfoot of Bob Morris behind the drums and a whaling voice sounding like Skynyrd's very own Ronnie Van Zandt and Allman Bros' own Greg Allman, is the perfect compliment to this Southern Rock power house of a band.
		Bob as well is an accomplished song writer having a CD of 11 songs of pure originality and Southern Fried Pride.

		I think it's clear, however, that "Sweet Home Alabama" expresses what a majority of Americans feel in their hearts with regard to the upcoming election.
		Which is to say, when lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt belts out the lines, "Well, I hope Neil Young will remember / Southern man don't need him around, anyhow," he's expressing something fundamental about the American character.
		All of which translates, I'm willing to bet, into our citizenry's voting overwhelmingly to re-elect George W. Bush.
