In a few months (October to be precise), it'll be the 40th anniversary of the plane crash that killed Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines. What if the plane crash didnt happen (maybe they make sure to fuel up before taking off)? What happens to their career? I can see them taking on more of a Heartland rock sound (Springsteen, Petty, Mellencamp) during the 80s.
