George Harrison's Rocky has a cameo in the “I Won’t Back Down” music video —
“We flew over to England to do that video, and Ringo came down to play in the video, and George brought that guitar down and he said ‘Here, you wanna play this?’ and I was like, ‘Sure!’ (laughs). It was a thrill to hold it and play it, but I don’t own that guitar. George was just like that though, he was very generous.” - Mike Campbell, mabosons, March 2008 (x)

Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote Sweet Home Alabama in response to Neil Young's song Southern Man, which condemned the racism and history of slavery in the American south. Lynyrd Synyrd wanted to show rock fans that the south had good things about it as well
The label initially rejected Free Fallin'. Tom Petty waited 6 months then brought it to them again, and they loved it
