Lynyrd Skynyrd at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, June 11, 1977.
Left to right: Ronnie Van Zant with the microphone stand, Gary Rossington and Allen Collins. Behind them the stage roof, in front of them a stadium crowd. This was a band at the top of its game.
Summer 1977 was a strong time for Skynyrd. Steve Gaines had joined on guitar, the live album One More from the Road had been a big success, and they were finishing a new album, Street Survivors.
Street Survivors was released on October 17, 1977. Three days later the band's plane crashed in Mississippi. Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, backing singer Cassie Gaines and assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick were killed, along with the two pilots.
Allen Collins passed away in 1990. Gary Rossington carried the name on for decades and was the last surviving founding member when he passed in 2023.
Photos like this one, by Michael Putland, are a reminder of how good this band was on a big stage.

Did you ever get to see Lynyrd Skynyrd live, with any lineup?

Dickey Betts, “One Way Out” (Capitol Theatre, 1981)
On Eat a Peach, Betts lays down the boogie vamp and Duane Allman comes in on slide, taped at the Fillmore East’s final night, June 27, 1971. Four months later Duane was gone.
Here’s Betts a decade on, goldtop Les Paul, leading it in Passaic, New Jersey.

The DSA is Already Embedding Far-Left, Pro-Socialism Political Indoctrination in Public Schools (VIDEO) thegatewaypundit.com/2026/11… #gatewaypundit via @gatewaypundit
Nothing new. They have been imbedded and indoctrinating for years
They always have coordinated their message with the media. The numbers on social media are astonishing. People are sheep.
“They conned you. They paid people to con you to win.”
That’s what Glenn Beck just said.
And Van Jones admitted it on CNN.
Democrat socialists needed you to believe Trump’s economy was a disaster. That Americans were starving and he lives in a gold palace—remember Obama’s stump speeches?—, so they screamed “affordability” nonstop.
The blueprint? A synced operation. American Accountability Network blasted hundreds of millions of coordinated posts a DAY to sell the lie that the sky was was falling.
“Every. Single. Day. And Republicans never figured it out.,” Jones laughed.
Here’s what Victor Davis Hanson told Glenn—and what Van left out:
☑️165,000 new jobs announced
☑️Poverty rate record low of 10.2%
☑️Per capita family income at a new high of $87,000
☑️GDP revised to 3.4%,the Atlanta Fed projecting 5% by year-end
☑️Stock market 20,000 points higher and income $14,000 higher than 2022 midterms under Biden
☑️In 2022, inflation hit 9.1% and the media protected Biden.
This time Dems ran a full-scale online army to convince you what was right was wrong, and wrong was right so they could win.
And they did.
The blue tsunami.
“We had a secret weapon. Tens of thousands of online humans—not bots, coordinated posts to make the affordability message a winning message online.
32.5M hit Instagram, every day.
88.2M hit Twitter, X, every day.
185M hit Facebook, every day.
Don’t worry. Jones said he was “given permission” to reveal the playbook. Oh really, Permission from who?
They weren’t just spinning. They marketed Trump like an Orange melodrama villain and ran a deliberate con on the American people to win the midterms.
The economy will magically get better after the first of the year.
Expect it. Democrats will get credit.
And Van Jones just sat on CNN and bragged about it.
So here we are. It doesn’t matter if it’s truthful. The goal is to win.
This is the propaganda machine Republicans are up against. Are John Thune and Jim Jordan ready?

There were warning signs for Venezuela. There are warning signs for America but voters won’t listen when they can’t afford gas. #endtheIranWarnow

🚨 A JOURNALIST JUST FILMED INSIDE THE NEWARK ICE PROTEST CAMP. READ THAT AGAIN:
Nick Sortor went in with a hidden camera. What he found wasn't a spontaneous protest.
It was a fully operational logistics base.
– Tens of THOUSANDS of dollars in equipment already on site
– Riot gear. Not signs. Not banners. RIOT EQUIPMENT.
– Hot food delivered every single hour, on schedule
– Medical sections, expensive tents, organized supply chains
– This is outside Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, NJ
– Protests have been running for over a week — round the clock
– Andy Ngo documented week-long violence by Antifa at the same facility
– State police had to intervene just to restore basic order
– Nobody is asking who is paying for hourly catered deliveries to a protest camp
– Nobody is asking who sourced the riot equipment
– Nobody is asking who coordinates the resupply logistics for a week-long operation
This is not a group of angry citizens who showed up with signs.
This is a funded, staffed, continuously resupplied operation with riot capability.
Someone is writing checks for this. Someone is organizing the deliveries. Someone made sure the equipment arrived.
The protesters didn't just open a door that CANNOT be closed.
The funders did. And nobody is looking for them.

There is a boycott movement building against Jennifer Welch's podcast over her hate-filled, vulgarity-spewing content. Various sponsors have already declared that they have had it with "I've had it" after she laughed over "digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again." teapawt.net/JonathanTurley/status/…
Rachel Welch has made millions by injecting rage into the body politic. In this podcast, she and her co-host break into uncontrollable laughter at a post that says, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again." newsbreak.com/mediaite-52057… What is notable is that, after her cohost denounces conservatives for spreading false news, they claim falsely that Kirk was killed by a MAGA supporter -- a claim long debunked but repeated by many on the left.
Wow
