"We didn't have much money when I was younger, so I had to collect Coke bottles and cash them in and ..." — Gary Rossington

We used to travel through Alabama a lot and get onto back roads and just marvel at how pretty it was and how nice the people were.

With life and grandkids and the whole thing, every day is busy, but I'm so thankful to God that I'm still here.

Our parents helped us, or we wouldn't be here. Lacy Van Zant and my mother used to sign for amps or loan us money to get to the gig or take us in their car. It's just like little sports guys - Little League and football players - whose parents help them. That's why they get good.
