Musical Moments In TV/Film: Freaks And Geeks - Free Bird

Again with this show?  That's right.  The producers really knew what they were doing with their song selections and the corresponding scenes in which they were so brilliantly utilized.  There are a lot of cool things going on in this one too.  An awkward conversation between Nick and Lindsey, Kim and Daniel's traditional bickering, and Ken finally getting some sideburn action all take place at an early 80's planetarium laser show.  They thought they were going to hear some Pink Floyd.  Turns out, it's southern rock night.  All is not lost though, since they get to hear this Skynyrd classic.
