Neil Young sang:

Southern man better keep your head
Don’t forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man

And:

Alabama, you got the weight on your shoulders
That’s breaking your back.
Your Cadillac has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track

Lynyrd Skynyrd answered:

Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her.
Well, I heard ol’ Neil put ‘er down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember,
a southernman don’t need him around anyhow!

It’s an interesting musical rivalry. So, what did Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd think of each other in real life?
