During a time when toughskin blue jeans, button-down shirts, and
flat-top haircuts were all the rage, Gene Odom and Ronnie Van Zant
became best friends. Growing up on the same block, Ronnie and Gene
fished, played football, anddreamed together. Years later, one of
the boys would become famous-and the other would stand by his side
through thick and thin. This is the story of two young men from the
same neighborhood, school, and world who together, discovered the
meaning of true friendship.
As Ronnie's dreams of becoming a professional musician finally
became a reality, Lynyrd Skynyrdbegan selling out arenas and became
famous for not only their music, but also their substance abuse.
After Ronnie offered Gene a job as a security officer for the band,
he embarked on an unforgettable journey into a world like no other.
But everything would change in October 1977 when the plane carrying
the band plummeted from the sky.
"Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ronnie Van Zant, and Me ... Gene Odom" provides
a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse of what it was like to be
friends with one of the biggest rock stars of the 1970s and how a
friendship between two childhood buddies stood the test of
time.
