G.O.P.'s Southern Strategy? Cranking Up Lynyrd Skynyrd
> ...On the Sunday night before the first day of the Republican National
> Convention, the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd (or its latest
> incarnation) will be performing at the nightclub Crobar in Chelsea for a
> party honoring Southern Republicans in Congress. There are only two
> original members left in the band, but, as the song goes, "a bird you
> cannot change," and the band is still touring and still quite popular in
> the red states. For Sunday's event, the band members are going to be
> paid as if it were any other concert, but their manager, Ross Schilling,
> said money was not the only factor.
"They make no qualms about it: they are definitely a Republican band," he said, adding that the band performed at a party during the Republican National Convention in 2000 and at several campaign stops for President Bush.
