So, the story is (as Ronnie Van Zant's own mother told it after he passed away in the plane crash) is that Ronnie wrote Tuesday's Gone after his first divorce became final on a Tuesday. The wife's name was not Tuesday, but Ronnie used Tuesday as a metaphor due to the fact that the divorce was final on a Tuesday. Thanks guys for your reactions (especially Skynyrd). They are great!

[@thumplife792]

I remember being 14 in the mid-90's listening to this over and over in my room learning it on guitar. I grew up playing bluegrass guitar since my family is full of bluegrass musicians. That gave me a good foundation, but I feel like I cut my lead guitar teeth on these old Skynyrd tunes. They were awesome for getting into it. I've heard, and played, these songs hundreds of times on guitar and bass over the years and they have never gotten old.

"Tuesday" is widely understood as the last day before the band had the hit the road again. They'd be home Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Come Wednesday, they're back on the road for their next gig. A bittersweet song - knowing they're back on the road doing what they love, but having to leave the other things they love back at home.

That's a crazy "my life is a movie" story. Sorry you had to go through that. I've read a similar one recently about how some girl who danced to "Kiss me" by Sixpence None The Richer with her high school darling during prom, but a month later he had to move away and they broke up. Some years later they met again (he already had a fiance), they had a chat about old times at a coffee shop and then his fiance came to pick him up. After he walked out the door, that same song came on the radio. Must have felt surreal. Life is crazy.

Of American bands?... Well ok, yeah mayhap so... I am gonna say they're at least in the top 10 American bands. However, there is the whole problem of all those legendary elite English bands that Skynard simply cannot hope to hold a candle to whenever one stops considering ONLY this country's greatest musical groups... such as: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, The Who, Rush, Queen, Nightwish, The Police, Genesis, The Sex Pistols, AC/DC, ect. Also, hell I kinda believe that groups such as: Gun's 'n Roses, The Eagles, Nirvana, Aerosmith, Alice in Chains, Fleetwood Mac, Metallica, Perl Jam, Soundgarden, Tool, Motley Crew, The Doors, Boston, Chicago, Kiss, & Credence Clearwater Revival(CCR) are all pretty damned tough competition for those top slots my man.

This song is special to me because it always makes me think of my dad.

[@joelhammond4162]

Have always loved this song. I was born in 70 and grew up hearing Skynyrd from my dad, uncles and classic rock radio. So of course that was songs like Freebird, Sweet Home, Gimme 3, and then I gravitated towards some of the edgier, heavier guitar riffs like That Smell, Gimme Back My Bullets and Saturday Night Special, but this song and Simple Man hit me in the feels and became special for me. Later when I was doing the same and exploring Hendrix beyond what I had heard on radio and played by others and listened to Axis-Bold as Love, the opening lines of the guitar solo reminded me of the solo in this one. 1:55-2:10 in Bold as Love and 4:31-4:51 (and outro) in Tuesday. Similar melody lines or is it just me? My mom had me at 16 and died at 59, now when I hear Simple Man it hits me even harder. “Oh yes, I will mama.” Just trying to be the simple man she would want me to be. I sure do miss her.

[@ALifeThatRocks]

As song melody goes, this song has both melancholy and Peace. Tuesday is a women but it’s also time. Ronnie certainly had a great deal of experience to write about leaving behind people from the heavy touring even in their earliest days. Both Tuesdays Gone and Freebird were written when they were still in their garage band stages. They were teenagers still.

[@Jamesd1861]

There was never a time this band wasn't in my life. My dad's favorite band. He was in the merchant marines, fresh out of high school and on the Mississippi when the crash happened; he said something made him feel different that day, he didn't know what it was. Then he found out that their plane had crashed. He wanted to name me Tuesday, especially since I was born on a Tuesday. I don't know why my mom didn't want to, they both love Skynyrd. This song means a lot to me. I wrote a novel for myself a few years ago and named the main character Tuesday and the book after this song.

Ronnie Van Zant was one of the greatest, most underrated songwriters of all time. Btw, Freebird was written as a tribute to Duane Allman after his death.

[@k9spjack]

WRONG... Duane Allman died on October 29th, 1971 and Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote "Free Bird" in 1970. What actually happen is they would dedicate the song to Duane Allman at concerts AFTER his death. As for the actual inspiration for "Free Bird" it came from their guitar player "Allen Collins" who was having an argument with his girlfriend, "Kathy Jones" and at some point she asked him, "If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me." He wrote her words down and used them as inspiration for the song, "Free Bird!"
