This one time I came across Laura chatting with a group of fans on the streets of Oakland. They were extremely welcoming and told me to sit. I was like a little fanboy talking Laura up and thanking her for the much. But everyone else including Laura were just chilling. Being. Telling stories. Sharing hardships. Relating. I always knew she was one of my heroes because of the decades of fantastic punk music, but now I know it's because she's real as fuck and is so kind. To everyone. To people just like her, people so different, and annoying fans like myself. The Mountain Goats fucking rule too ;)

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.

Also she picked songs that were perfect for her voice and singing style and I'm so glad this exists

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.

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]
