Hello, <br><br>
My friend @uwelang, a music lover who also likes rock, has created a new tag #RockBest where people talk about their favourite rock songs. This should increase interaction on the platform, especially among music lovers.<br><br>
I have many favourite songs. One of them is ‘Simple Man’ by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which was inspired by Ronnie Van Zant's grandmother. The song is on the band's debut album, and has the name (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd). The name comes from a sports teacher called Leonhard Skinner, who didn't like long hair on men.
<br><br>
I really like this song, especially the lyrics that describe how a man should live his life - with simple but good values. It's also a Southern rock song that somehow attracts me.
<br><br>
What is your favourite rock song?

Hallo,<br><br>
Mein Freund @uwelang, ein Musikliebhaber, der auch Rock mag, hat einen neuen Tag #RockBest kreiert, wo man über seine Lieblings-Rock-Songs spricht. Das sollte die Interaktion auf der Plattform erhöhen, vor allem unter Musikliebhabern.<br><br>
Ich habe viele Lieblingslieder. Eines davon ist „Simple Man" von Lynyrd Skynyrd, welches inspiriert worden ist von der Großmutter von Ronnie Van Zant. Das Lied ist auf dem Debut Album der Band, und hat den Namen (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd). Name kommt von einem Sportlehrer namens Leonhard Skinner, der keine lange Harre bei Männer gemocht hat. <br><br>
Ich mag dieses Lied sehr, insbesondere den Text, der beschreibt, wie ein Mann sein Leben führen sollte – mit einfachen, aber guten Werten. Es ist auch ein Southern-Rock-Lied, das mich irgendwie anzieht.
 <br><br>
Welches ist euer Lieblingsrocklied?

## And now the lyrics to Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd

*Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you
Some sunny day"
Oh, yeah
Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman, yeah, and you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?
Oh, yes, I will
Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son, if you can?
Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man*
