We've all been at concerts where some guy, who's usually had a few too many, shouts out a request for 'Free Bird,' even if it's not a Lynyrd Skynyrd show. While many of us would love to have security go to town on him - if for nothing else a lack of originality - the members of band, unsurprisingly, have a different take.

Music came to brick and mortar record stores on big black vinyl discs that were played on turntables attached to high-end component stereo systems. Telephones were rotary-style and cell phones were merely a dream. The internet wasn't invented because computers hadn't mainstreamed into our lives. Haute Couture included flared jeans and silk-screened shirts. Elvis has just passed away in August. And a southern rock band was just emerging into their own.
