On this day in 1976 SKYNYRD guitarist GARY ROSSINGTON crashed his car into a tree. An event that inspired the song That Smell. Heres what Ronnie Van Zant had to say about it: “I can’t tell you how mad I got at him for that. We’re glad he’s gonna make it, he’s tremendously lucky to be alive, but it was his fault. He passed out at the wheel of his brand new Ford Torino, with his foot on the gas. He knocked down a telephone pole, split an oak tree and did $7,000 worth of damage to a house. That’s being just plain stupid. I told him that on his hospital bed.”
