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.
