Ok we have beat this to death, but I have found another quote by john that gives me slightly his perspective ...
""If you should find yourself in this song, heaven forbid, don't say 'Oh! What's the chance for epiphany here?'
Call the cops. 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?' Tell them 'Take your patriarchal bullshit down to the garbage can where it belongs and haul this guy off to jail because he has a gun."" 2016-11-21 - Second City - Chicago, IL
although this coda makes me almost angry
At this show, John proceeded to play "Going to Georgia" after an audience member offered him $60.
