Will that include Lynyrd Skynyrd CDs that feature the Confederate flag in the packaging? Early signs point to “yes”:
Brave #Walmart just jumped on the bandwagon & announced it will stop selling #ConfederateFlag merchandise i.e. #LynyrdSkynyrd records

Will future Lynyrd Skynyrd performances for Wal-Mart employees be considered out of the question? The band played at a stockholders gathering earlier this month:
