Later there's someone on the ground, amid "Angels and Fuselage," calling toward "what's coming next." (Here, it's better if you burn [or, in my case, dub] in a Pizza Deliverancesong, "Mrs. Dubose," in which another voice, somewhat like Ronnie's, is overheard, among ordinary afternoon sounds: "You were such a flower, now there's dust running through your veins, when my body dies, will you remember my name?" I believe so).

The Drive-By Truckers have just been signed to open for Lynyrd Skynyrd, on three early March dates, in Skynyrd's own Florida. They'll perform Southern Rock Opera, natcherly. Especially heavy because bassist Leon Wilkeson, one of the few heretofore-surviving original Skyns, recently slipped out of the blue, and into the black. (See drivebytruckers.com, grassrootsmedia.com, and skynyrd.com for more information.)
