Street Survivors The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash (Cleopatra)
The 1977 airplane crash
that killed lead singer Ronnie Van Zant and two othr band members and both pilots has been etched into rock and roll history forever, but the realk story has never been told. That is until now. Spear- headed by a survivor of the crash, drummer Artimus Pyle,
the movie is a realistic look at the excess of alcohol, drugs and sex during the 1970’s, The filmakersdon’t candy coat the reality whatsoever. Pyle was one of the few able to move afyter
the crash, albiet on a leg that was torn to pieces. But he klnew he had to go and get help, so he did, hobling on foot through the backwoods until he found the farm of Johnny Mote, where he immedi- ately called his wife Pat to tell her he was okay in- structing people at the house to call the police while he got into the truck with Mote to ride out to the crash site. The crash is heart wrenching, especially for
those of us who remember it like it was yesterday. (This writer was at tyhe final Skynyrd concert with Ronnie and met the band backstage that night). It’s a very emotional movie, withe Artimus discovering the lifeless bodies of both Van Zant and Cassie Gaines.
The package includes a BluRay version of the
film, as well as a standart DVD and a soundtrack CD. Speaking of, slthough there is no Lynyrd Skynyrd music, the soundtrack boasts some outstanding Southern Rock originals, written and played by Pyle and his sons Marshall and Chris among others, The title track was co-writtedn by Warren Haynes and is sung by APB vocalist Brad Durden. Street Survivors is a movie we needed. A celu-
loid memorial to Ronnie, Steve, Cassie and Dean, told withj love and heart.
