1. Neil Young- Southern Man > Sweet Home Alabama, plus SHA is played at Bama’s home games . Yuck.
2. Love Magic, but I would choose Larry Bird. There’s not a person in the world I’d rather have shoot the game winning shot.
3. Pancakes are too filling. When I used to eat them, I always felt like sleeping for hours. Omelette for sure.
4. Androids are for the uninformed and rubes. iPhone everyday and twice on Sundays.

Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote “Sweet Home Alabama” as a southern man’s response to this song as well as the song “Alabama” from the Neil Young album Harvest.
Young has said he is honored to have his name featured in that song. In his 2012 memoir Waging Heavy Peace, Young wrote:
"Alabama richly deserved the shot Lynyrd Skynyrd gave me with their great record. I don’t like my words when I listen to it today. They are accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, too easy to misconstrue."

Neil Young later briefly covered "Sweet Home Alabama" at a concert after the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash.
If only we could all get along like that today. Have it out. Move on.

1) Lynyrd Skynyrd...never really warmed up to Neil Young who didn't add much to CSN.
1a) Eric Clapton's "Pretending"
2) Extremely difficult choice...coin flip...but when pinned down, Larry Bird...I used to be a huge Celtics fan (from NE)
2a) Bill Russell...the player...the man.
3) More than likely the Omelette now...earlier Pancakes
3a) Hash Benedict...but only if the CB Hash is sourced fm 'Sysco'
4) iPhone...links to my iWatch and MacBook...and FaceTime w/G-Kids
4a) There are other phones?
