Ok, technically "Leonard Skinner" was a person, but it really chaps me when I hear someone (especially a grown adult) refer to Lynyrd Skynyrd as a person...
i.e.
me- do you listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd?
tool- yeah, I like his music.
I can sort of understand how a fool would mistake the band for a person, seeing as though "Lynyrd Skynyrd" could possibly be someone's nam... although *** spells their name "Lynyrd"?? Anyhow...
I notice people refer to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin as a person too. HOW THE HELL CAN YOU THINK LED ZEP is a person! Or Pink Floyd for that matter!
Vent over... |

But he lived a couple of hundred years before the band of the same name. IIRC he invented one of the variations on the mouldboard plow

I.e., which is more correct grammatically?
- "The Rolling Stones are terrible!"
- "The Rolling Stones is terrible!"
Think about it carefully. Are you sure?
Because whatever answer you gave should also be just as correct for Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd (or Lynyrd Skynyrd). And it has nothing to do with thinking those are people's names. |

Well, you should have seen how excited I was when I learned that JETHRO TULL invinted the seed drill. I dont think any of the other duds in my class even knew who the band was. Sad. |

I stand corrected

I've heard people say things like "oh yeah, I like Nirvana, his lyrics are really good" many times. Many people are just so musically illiterate that the only person in a band that actually matters is the guy who sings the words, the rest of the band are just people who facilitate the vocalist in many people's minds.
