    Is it not the glory of the people of America that, whilst they have paid a decent regard to the opinions of former times and other nations, they have not suffered a blind veneration for antiquity, for custom, or for names, to overrule the suggestions of their own good sense, the knowledge of their own situation, and the lessons of their own experience?" - James Madison - Federalist #14

    Holy crap! That is sad! I knew everytime I saw him that he looked in bad health. I guess I just didnt realize just how bad.

    That really sucks. They're one of my favorite bands of all time, and all my keyboardist friends loved his playing. His playing added so much beauty to an otherwise guitar dominated band.

    RIP Billy Powell. At least we didn't lose him in the plane wreck decades ago.

    What a great piano player!!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkPlxZ7azJ4

    Everyone in that band made that band, but just something about that piano playin just put it all together. His playin was somewhat in the background, but Skynyrd wouldn't have sounded like Skynyrd if it wasn't for that dude.

    great fills man.

    RIP....later tater
