think that’s my favorite Skynrd song after Tuesdays Gone and That Smell and Sat Nite Special. God I could go on.
Can you believe I just wanted to hear Jesus Left Chicago and I wound up jamming out to ZZ songs for a solid hour the other day?
Man I like when time stands still like that ![]()
the whole Ass Pocket album is good. He does this drone blues thing that I love and if you look in his back catalog it’s all that kind of rhythm. RL is unique.

Percy Howard and Matt Chamberlain, The Stars & the Well (2023), “Signifying Monkey”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signifying_monkey
The signifying monkey is a character of African-American folklore that derives from the trickster figure of Yoruba mythology, Esu Elegbara… Numerous songs and narratives concern the signifying monkey and his interactions with his friends, the lion and the elephant. In general, the stories depict the signifying monkey insulting the lion, but claiming that he is only repeating the elephant’s words. The lion then confronts the elephant, who in turn physically assaults the lion. The lion later realizes that the monkey has been signifyin’ and has duped the lion, and as a result the lion angrily returns to castrate the monkey and renders him unable to reproduce.
