	Neil Young News: American Idol drops Neil Young verse from "Sweet Home Alabama"
		"Sweet Home Alabama" "was and is a strident anthem about the pride of a region and the politics of a particular place and time", writes Kevin McDonough in The Morning Call.
		Seems to me that this song, sans 'that verse', has become a favorite of the favorite sons of Alabama, be they fl or white or any other skin-tone, to tout all that is good, in their eyes, about their home state.
		The rest of the song is simply a celebration of the state and family and the feeling that there were and are "good people in Alabama" as Van Zant is heard to say in the song's live version.

		Sweet Home Alabama is a good song, but Lynyrd Skynyrd is unjustly known for it.

		Songs of disrespect are often sparked by heated rivalries that develop between two or more celebrities, such as the hard feelings that occasionally flare into violence between rappers Jay-Z and Nas, 50 Cent and Ja Rule and the rappers' respective entourages.
		In other cases, the song lyrics are cryptic but the objects of the insults are outed through clear references in music videos.
		There's another difference between many modern "dis songs" and those of a previous generation: The lyrics can't be repeated in a family newspaper, or even played on the radio.

	Lynyrd Skynyrd and Neil Young
		Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" meaning is often interpreted as being "racist" because of the the lyrics reference "In Birmingham [where a fl church was bombed killing 4 young girls] they love the governor [George Wallace ]" who was a segrationist.
		"Although the song is perceived as an anthem of southern pride, “Sweet Home Alabama,” was actually intended not only as the band’s fond recollection of their first time in a recording studio but as a reminder to the rest of America that not all southerners were rednecks.
		The song "Southern Man" was at the center of an unfortunate event on the 1973 tour and has been recounted by Neil in concert.

	Nathan Songfic by Monica
		There was just something about this song, something infectious in the music that always had him moving a bit to it even as his left foot tapped in time.
		Nathan laughed as he realized just how this song had "gotten him off." It was just a song that moved you whether you cared to decipher the "meaning" of it or not.
		It was a song that was as simple and complex as the South herself.

	Sweet Home Alabama - Song Lessons
		This song is not for the faint hearted.
		I first learnt it as a fill in song, one where the rest of the guys in the band said "we should learn Sweet Home" and from there no one really put much effort into learning it because it's only 3 chords and a jamming solo around the scale of "E Blues"...
		I'ts only been the last few years when I've really started teaching the song to students that I've realised this is a difficult song to play verbatim, jamming it's easy.

	Rod Dreher on Sweet Home Alabama on National Review Online
		There is no reason why a romantic comedy with so many glaring flaws should work, but as sometimes happens with Julia Roberts, the irresistible Witherspoon redeems the shoddy material on the strength of her fresh-faced beauty and sassy charm (she's two parts Cameron Diaz, one part Rat Pack-era Shirley Maclaine).
		True, Sweet Home Alabama the movie has nothing to do with "Sweet Home Alabama" the song, but it does appear twice in the film, the second time in a sultry interpretation by Jewel (who does a surprisingly good job, but hey, was Lucinda Williams not available?).
		The problem is it's never clear what Melanie got out of either Pigeon Creek or her marriage to Jake, and why she's supposed to be tempted to return to either, aside from the fact that Jake's both a stud and a nice guy.

	Sweet Home Alabama (2002): Reviews
		Bound and determined to end their contentious relationship once and for all, newly-engaged New Yorker Melanie (Witherspoon) sneaks back home to Alabama to confront her past (including her redneck husband), only to discover that you can take the girl out of the South, but you can never take the South out of the girl.
		It is a fantasy, a sweet, light-hearted fairy tale with Reese Witherspoon at its center.
		If Sweet Home Alabama, directed by Andy Tennant from a screenplay by C. Jay Cox, has the ingredients for a classic screwball comedy, the movie is in such a rush to entertain that it barely connects the dots of its story.

		Extraordinarily boring and unfunny while redolent with the sort of bad behaviour-made-cutesy that made stars of Julia Roberts and Ashley Judd, Sweet Home Alabama at least has the unlikely distinction of rendering Witherspoon shrill, dull, and during one ugly drunken tirade, irredeemable.
		Sweet Home Alabama is the sort of garbage where fl people in New York are depicted as flaming queens while fl people in Alabama are portrayed as civil servants and housemaids.
		On the DVD release of Sweet Home Alabama, director Andy Tennant introduces all eight of the deleted scenes (nine, counting the alternate ending) in a section called "Off the Cutting Room Floor," and his preamble invariably goes like this:

	HyperRust: Neil vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Neil wrote the songs Southern Man and Alabama for his After the Goldrush and Harvest albums, respectively.
		Each of the songs indicted the stereotypical southern racist attitudes that were somewhat prevelant in The South in the 60s & early 70s.
		A few years later (in 1974) Lynyrd Skynyrd decided to answer those songs from the "Southern Rock" point of view, and so was born the song Sweet Home Alabama.

		The whole CD contains the songs you remember from all the best bits of the film, other highlights being Ryan Adams, The Calling, Shannon Mcnally and of course the album wouldn't be complete without a bit of Dolly Parton and the unbelieveably cheerful 'Marry Me'.
		All in all this is one of the best soundtracks I've heard in the past twelve months and just plays along quitye happily, best listened to on a sunny day and loud.

	Sweet Home Alabama - Song Lessons
		When bending I have a habit of using my 3rd finger, even when I have to stretch over a 4 fret span between a bend and the next note.
		I have taught this song to lessons and some prefer using their 4th finger on the bends (especially the 1st bend in bar 37).
		Bar 38 (Phrase 2) - Keep it finger correct, lay your 3rd finger flat across the 10th fret to start with and use your 4th finger when it goes up to the 11th.
