So farewell then, Leonard Skinner, the martinet PE teacher who didn't like long hair.

Where would we be without you, suitably renamed or at least re-spelt to avoid libel and slander laws? Probably not Sweet Home Alabama.

The story makes me think that he didn't like any sort of rock music, which was rather the point of the band doing what they did.

If he didn't like 60s pop/rock, Lynerd Skynyrd's output would have probably driven him apopleplpop batty...
