Wouldn't that be the dream!!!

YES! It would be! I'll keep dreaming

Transgirl C & C Can we get Laura and John to collab on an album?? I would die from the beauty of it

Would be amazing!!!

YESSSS

Tony Contini yeah Oakland ( I live here too). And great taste in music. Laura's coving my two favorite goat songs.

if that was outside the fox in 2014, i was one of those sidewalk punks

Similar story. I met her when AG! was opening up for Green Day in my hometown. I ran up to her and asked for a picture. Looking back I was probably fanboying so badly. But she was so nice and dealt with me anyways 😂 I was a huge fan of AG before that but after I met her they became one of my favorites of all time.

This is years later, but I saw her in a small venue this summer. After the show, she sat down on the edge of the stage and just talked to fans for awhile. Totally open to anyone and having a good time. My number 1 show experience by a mile.

Hi. Laura Jane Grace did three Mountain Goat covers on our show The Right Note. They are on our website - www.skipi.tv - are also our KZfaq page.

Glad you loved this as much as we did Jade!!!

Thanks guys!!

Thanks Trevor. Glad you loved it.

Thanks Moss. Glad you loved it too.

Glad you loved it Anna!!

Must have been awesome!!!

Against me

You can say that again!!!

Thanks Effinity. Glad you loved it. We had an awesome time in the studio making it.

Thanks Jessie. They're a match made in heaven!!!

Awesome isn't it!!!

why not because it has a gun in it?

χάος yeah he said he thinks it comes across as pro-gun i think

​@@elllis Less because it's pro-gun and more because it's pro gun *violence*. And perpetuates the idea that a guy would commit violence (on himself, on others) to prove how in love he is. And that a woman can save him from it --all of it sums up to something that John now considers, quote, misogynistic garbage, end quote.

They played it in Oslo two years ago, but it was prefaced by a monologue about how conflicted he was about doing it, how it felt written by someone else, someone he had outgrown. Or the impossible balance between not censoring the past VS not spouting shit. Or something. I remember it made sense at the time.

Thanks Michael!! Glad you loved it.

I'm 48 1st time I ever heard it. I've been to Georgia when I was a young homeless travelling kid. I liked it. People find things relatable at different times and for different reasons

He'd have bigger issues with Golden Boy

Rebel Yell why does this chick sound like a dude.

See idk where in her voice you hear dude, like the first time I heard her without seeing her face or knowing she was trans I was almost 100% certain she was a lady. And I was right ^__^

Looks and sounds like a dude because he is one, not rocket science

​@@frarfarfno it's biology and sociology. Sex and gender are different things. Pull your head out of your ass

Yes, Denton Texas. It's the first track off the album "All Hail West Texas." I know Denton isn't in west Texas, but all the characters in the album end up out there eventually. I think.

The tattoo thing was sorta an accident, she wanted a cover up and on her way to the appointment there was a suicide jumper, she reached the appointment really shaken and then payed very little attention to what the artist was suggesting so then got out of true appointment and to quote “well shit”

So she could match pitch/tone of her voice

Reverse the order, bc Ramshackle Glory isn't around

Really? I've heard his Tiny Desk concert where he describes it as somewhat juvenile, but never heard him talk about it in such harsh terms.

yeah you can youtube "Going To Georgia For Sixty US Dollars" which is a live version where john only plays it after someone pays him 60 bucks, and before he does, he talks about how much he hates it. [talking about how he'd play cubs in five but it's different now that they've won] [people shouting out song titles] one guy: "going--going to georgia?" john: "i hate that song. you'd have to give me hundreds of dollars." someone: ""i've got sixty!" [brief back and forth on that] john: "give me sixty dollars. this is not for charity, it's for me." [laughter, applause, and screaming laughter as the guy gives him $60] [john starts to play guitar] john: "this is a song i consider misogynistic garbage." john: "here's the thing--here's the thing. no, fuck this shit. i mean--" [john stops playing] john: "so the thing about songs that when you're a young songwriter, you think--if you're a young, i wanna say male songwriter." [john starts playing again] john: "you think it's very romantic where the narrator would like maybe hurt somebody to prove how desperately in love he is. that's pathetic. there's no... i don't know any young male songwriter who doesn't think that's true, but it's pathetic, right. but, as a young male songwriter in 1993, i was good at being pathetic." [john starts singing going to georgia] john: "'it's the most extraordinary feeling in the whole world'--and i want to say, and interrupt the narrator, the most extraordinary feeling in the whole world is to wake up in jail. that's a really extraordinary feeling. so compare it to this guy being wrapped up in his own ideas, and feelings, to wake up and go, 'oh, i'm in jail.' ...wow. my feelings don't count for shit. this is JAIL. right. and maybe you knock on the bars, you go, 'hey man, like i'm a singer-songwriter. you have to let me out of here.' and--and--and then the guy who you went to high school with goes 'no i don't.'" [laughter] john: "and you say, 'but lance,' --cause that's his name. 'no, lance, you gotta let me out of here.' and he goes, 'no i don't.'" [back to going to georgia] john: "'and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand'--instead of calling the police." [laughter] john: "i wanna say, if you should find yourself in this song, heaven forbid, don't--don't say, 'oh, what's, what's the chance for epiphany here.' call the cops." [laughter] john: "'there's a fucking psychopath, on my porch. i hate him, and i want him to go to jail.' and if the police say, 'what if he's having some deep feelings?'" [laughter] john: "'uh, take your patriarchal bullshit down to the garbage can where it belongs and haul this guy off to jail. because he has a gun, i don't think the gun is good.' i was a sophomore in college when i wrote this song, and sophomores in college, especially boys, it's very intense, they have intense feelings there. actually, your feelings are not that fucking intense. where i stand on the question right now, is why i don't play this song anymore except when someone gives me sixty bucks for it." [laughter] [john sings the rest of the song]

Just listened. Probably the best version of Going to Georgia of his. Thanks for the transcript too.

She is isn't a guy

@@sheenaQuarto83 LOL he is male. Are you blind?

​@@rong2912 You understand that sex and gender are different right? Or are you an imbecile?

*she. You don't get to like the Mountain Goats if you're a transphobe

No, he.@@brenankean147

@@MJM804what brenan was attempting to explain is that laura uses she/her pronouns and as such they are the most respectful but if you must refuse to acknowledge her as a woman it would be more respectful to use gender-neutral (such as they, them) pronouns rather than male ones as those can elicit negative emotions especially from those who are fans of hers and brenan dont jump the gun they may not have known

The Holtsclaw they doubled down on using the wrong pronouns, it wasn’t a misunderstanding they’re just being an asshole

It’s an odd day when I find a transphobic Mountain Goats fan, seeing as a big chunk of their fans are apart or the LGBT community.

No, she's not. Learn the difference between sex and gender. Fuckin dim wit

Wow.
