A new Lynyrd Skynyrd is formed in September 1987 comprising Rossington, Powell, Pyle, Wilkeson, King, Johnny Van Zant (vocals), Randall Hall ( a long-time friend of the band and member of The Allen Collins Band), along with Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Bristow on background vocals. The band makes their first public appearance at the Charlie Daniel's Volunteer Jam XIII and will eventually perform more than 30 dates on a reunion tour, marking the tenth anniversary of the fatal plane crash.

most of those names were either in the original band or came shortly there after.

the only band members to die in the plane crash you speak of is:

Quote

On October 20th 1977, tragedy would strike the band as Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, Cassie Gaines (Steve's sister and one of Skynyrd's back-up singers), and road manager Dean Kilpatrick are killed when the band's rented plane (short on fuel) crashes into a swamp in Gillsburg, Mississippi, while en route to a gig at Louisiana University. Rossington, Collins, Powell, and Wilkeson are all seriously injured but survive the crash.

now granted they havnt done much of anything since 1977 BUT I would imagine anyone from the south and into "souther rock" would find it a dream to play and perform "sweet home" on stage live in front of millions. I know I'd be honored.

was Lynyrd Skynyrd

saw them one stop b4 the crash in 77 over in St. Pete when I was in college

whatever formed after that was not the Lynyrd Skynyrd

you do know some consider that song very racist as it mentions ex-AL gov George Wallace in a favorable way

You know RTR, you might be on to something. The next new reality series, based in the virtual world of the Internet.

"Bulletin Board Boogers", where you fingers cannot help but feel dirty after a long day of acting the numpty on the Internet!

I like it!!

Emmy heck,..we would have the "Numpty Awards" and 73,..you might get nominated, but it would be a close race for the winner,..on some days anywho.

"Moderation takes on a new twist, as you, the viewer votes off the boogers from the comfort of your potato-chip-ridden-cookie-crumb-soda-stained chair!"

This has possibilities.

You are not a *viewer*, you are an active booger. No vote for you! Only the lurkers (think TV show) get to vote.
