Fairwinds, Leonard Skinner

[ssneade]

the man whos name inspired one of the greatest southern rock bands passed today. not very popular with the anti-establishment crowd, skinners name jokingly was used by some of its memders to name the band "lynyrd skynyrd".........

imagine that buttwipe being partialy responsible for the bands later success. kinda ironic. but, it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. thanks for your contribution leonard, and once again, fairwinds...........

You want to read this obit. Apparently he wasn't the "buttwipe" portrayed in myth.

already read the obit, jack. sure later the satirical fame softened him up a bit, but so did the prospect of makin' a "freebuck". ya, he was a buttwipe allright, but aren't we all at times?.........

I wonder if they'll play "Free Bird" at his funeral.
