FREEE BIRRRRD! Lynyrd Skynyrd is Playing Musikfest (Commence Red Neck Jokes)

This is sure to get SOME people fired up, especially that asshole who goes to any acoustic show and yells “FREEEE BIRRRRD” whenever there is a moment of silence. Shit, this even happens at karaoke… weird.

Anyway, I guess this band is pretty good. I wasn’t ever INTO them as much as I knew a lot of their songs and knew that they didn’t like Neil Young. Now, I like Neil Young, so I decided that I wouldn’t like Lynyrd Skynyrd that much because they were red neck people who didn’t like Neil Young.

Also, some of them died in a plane crash.

The veteran rock band, known for such hits as “Sweet Home Alabama,”“Free Bird” and “Simple Man,” will perform Aug. 9 at Musikfest, according to a listing on the concert Web site pollstar.com.

A spokesperson for ArtsQuest would not confirm the listing. An official announcement is expected to be made Friday.

Hey, Musikfest gets good acts in. It just sucks that they were GREAT acts like 20 years ago. I saw Yes this past summer at Musikfest and they surely did rock the house, especially from the front row, however, I don’t understand why they can’t get like one HUGE band, just one, even if it’s something mainstream.

However, if Nickleback ever plays Musikfest I will punch a horse cop in the face.
