songs referring to other musicians/songs

I thought of this a while ago, but forgot about it. Can be direct or indirect. Can be positive or negative. First off Lynryd Skynryd letting Neil Young know they don't think much of him or his opinion.

This video includes a Confederate flag, but it's from 1974 so...

I didn't intend this to be all about the rebel flag, but this song has a reference to it too. The reference I was going for is the nod to Nanci Griffiths' song "It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go."
