1. He actually offered it to Lynard Skynard for them to use

But he used it after his friend in the band died in that plane wreck. They were always friendly and the rebuttal to southern man was partially in jest and they never had any animosity to Neil.

Young recorded a solo acoustic version of "Powderfinger" at Indigo Ranch Recording Studio in Malibu, California in September 1975, and intended it for his unreleased mid-70s album Chrome Dreams.[12][13] He later sent the tape to his friend Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd who were to use the song on their next album.[6][12] However, Van Zant died in a plane crash in October 1977, and Lynyrd Skynyrd never recorded the song.[6][12] The song was officially released in an electric version on Young's 1979 album with the band Crazy Horse, Rust Never Sleeps. The Indigo take was released in 2017 on Hitchhiker alongside other tracks from the session.
