“‘Going to Georgia?’
“I hate that song. You have to give me hundreds of dollars. I’ll play ‘Going to Georgia,’ but you have to give me cash.”
‘I’ve got sixty dollars.’
‘Give me sixty dollars. This is not for charity; it’s for me… This is a song that I consider misogynistic garbage. Here’s the thing - so the thing about songs that, when you’re a young songwriter, if you’re young - I must say male songwriter - you think it’s kind of romantic if your narrator would like hurt someone to prove how desperately in love he is. That’s pathetic. 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.’”
