Even Neil admitted that his lyrics were too generalized and he realized he was disrespecting an entire population rather than those who were racist. In Skynard's song, they simply pointed that out with their reference to Wallace and then calling out the hypocricy of Watergate. Afterwards, Neil never performed that song again as he realized it went a bit too far. BTW...both musical groups actually respected and liked each other. 
enough 50 year old history....now back to motorcycles.
