He's really fucking good on guitar. I could give a fuck about his false oppression. Just keep playin.
My favorite bit was (paraphrasing) "it's not cool to sing about tractors, trucks, and small towns." It sort of loses something singing that in front of thousands of cheering people.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
