When I still listened to the radio in the car, it started on one station, so I switched to another rock station. It was playing there too, on a different part. Switched to yet another rock station and it was also playing that terrible song!
God the “Watergate does not bother me… does your conscience bother you?” line alone puts this up there for me, and that’s far from the only thing to dislike.
My biggest beef with Sweet Home Alabama is, if people are ever singing along with it, or if they’re singing it at karaoke. I should mention that I live in the South, so these people singing it are from the South, and even though the song itself isn’t racist, the way these people emphasize certain lyrics, it sure sounds like they want it to be racist.

The whole thing makes me uncomfortable.
It is absolutely a racist song. It’s a “response” to Southern Man by Neil Young (great song btw)
