Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Lynyrd Skynyrd performing 'That Smell' in honor of the fact that on September 5, 1976 - Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Gary Rossington was seriously injured in a car crash in Florida."

"That Smell" written by Allen Collins, Ronnie Vanzant
Lyrics
Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Hey, you're a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before

One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you


One classic Lynyrd Skynyrd inspires me to post a few more

Oo Oo that smell. He ate at Taco Bell.
Saw the documentary. He was on quaaludes and drinking when he crashed. That’s why they wrote the song.

I was helping my sister clean house the day their plane crashed. I used to go to his tomb all the time as a young man in Orange Park. And I was at the opening of the Ronnie Van Zant Park here across from my home. Its weird when you grow up were a band comes from
