The yield curve describes the yields for Treasury bills, notes and bonds. It's called a curve because, if it were plotted on a graph, the yields would normally slope up. That's because Treasury bills, which are of short duration, don't usually pay as high a yield as the notes and even longer-term bonds. Why?
Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd Songfacts. Lynyrd Skynyrd is from Jacksonville, Florida. They wrote this song about their impressions of Alabama and as a tribute to the studio musicians at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, where they recorded from 1970-1972.
The use of a song as revenge for insults, real or imagined, is quite common in the hip-hop world, where rappers routinely use their material to abuse other artists. But at the time Lynyrd Skynyrd released Sweet Home Alabama in 1974, the practice was relatively new. Sweet Home Alabama was written in 1973 in response to Neil Young's repeatedly thumbing his nose at the South, and at Alabama in particular.
