I don't think anything can ever hit me as hard as the monologue at the beginning of this. John Darnielle continues to be wise in the face of things he cannot understand, and as a trans person who has been sent to places, I cannot thank him enough for doing so.
My favorite fact about this song is that the iconic "Hail satan" at the end of the song wasn't a written lyric, but just something darnielle yelled out on impulse.
"When you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank or forgive you" There are a lot of "Christians" that are going to be real lonely in their old age after their children have abandoned them.

Same. As another trans person struggling to shout loudly enough to condemn the rapidly increasing laws being written against us... same.
I wish the best for both of you,and the rest of the community

Cool story bro
When did he say this?
this particular performance of this song is everything that i love about the mountain goats
This is incredibly powerful.
Sometimes, I just need to hear this. And remind myself that there is hope in this world, and there’s a place for me.
That speech hit hard. ❤
bro I watched this video for like an hour straight now, possibly more.

The story behind him writing this is amazing
what is the story? :o
What is the story? I'm pretty sure I know who he wrote this about but I dunno the story. I guess I could ask the other guy but he's pretty private.
His passion is just overflowing! I love it!
Man Dana carvey is so cool
Don't insult Dana like that. He's a pussy but not this big of a pussy.
