† Armstrong can’t remember the name of the song, but Lynyrd Skynyrd’s recent Vicious Cycle album included two anthems to Middle American pride, “That’s How I Like It,” and “Red White & Blue (Love It or Leave It),” which fit the bill. Ironically, given that Skynyrd’s biggest hit, “Sweet Home Alabama,” was an answer to two less well-known Neil Young songs, “American Idiot” was an answer to a Skynyrd song that most people have never heard.
