Night Moves.
The first verse is the quintessential high school song. As I’ve aged, I’ve really learned to appreciate the latter verses even more.
The song moves me. ...

Unpopular opinion, but I think Lynyrd Skynyrd, while Ronnie was alive, was the best southern rock band.
Before Duane died, ABB was untouchable. Duane and Greg were incredible. They were the core of the best band of their day. When Duane died, they weren’t the band they were before.
Skynyrd w...

I’ve got an 08 Duramax with 380,000 miles. I’ll keep driving it until the wheels fall off.
My wife has an 08 Navigator with about 180,000 miles and she’s in no hurry to get rid of it.
I’m may get a C6 vette as a third car, but definitely don’t foresee getting a new ride. EVER. ...

[quote]So, the obvious question is why would they, those who fled from Him at the end, only days later dedicate their life to telling the world about Him?

The Jewish day begins at sunset.
Jesus died Friday evening before the Sabbath. He was dead on the Sabbath.
They found the tomb empty on Sunday so the third day was well underway by that point.
It wasn’t 72 hours. It was 3 days. ...

They probably picked most up at the flea market or Habitat Restore. I got hard copies of most of the Grisham novels for like a dollar each. Great place to get board games cheap too. I get a lot of items for my STR there. ...

My son and I went a few years back. Flew to Cancun and rented a car. Drove the coast to Mahaual and scuba dived for a week. Stopped by Bacalar and Chetumal for a day trip. Really neat towns. Saw a Mennonite farmer and his wife speed walking behind him trying to keep up walking through the streets of...

Skynyrd vs ABB
Posted by sparkinator on 2/22/24 at 10:47 pm
My take: Skynyrd is the best band America has ever produced. And it’s sad just how good Skynyrd and Ronnie on his solo projects could have gotten in the coming years. But they left behind a catalog that is unsurpassed. When Steve and Ronnie died in the plane crash, it ended LS. I’m not referring to ...
