I'll never forget hearing this song on the radio when it was released. Powerful then, powerful now. Thank you, Patty Griffin, for speaking truth. This changed the trajectory of my family's life in a way that was necessary. We need artists who unflinchingly tell us about the people among us who are hurting and vulnerable.
I just finished Boy Meets Boy, it was absolutly amazing, the story was beatiful, the writing was perfect, the chatacters interesting and this song is great, so 10/10 experience
Wow. WOW. How many Patty Griffin songs are going to wreck me? They keep stacking up, and I am so grateful for this brilliant, brave artist. THANK YOU for singing about shit that actually matters, in a way I can feel the truth resonating through your being. You heal us.
Right? Her songs are the emotional soundtrack to my life; confirmation of the pain and rawness some of us carry at all times, and the beauty that somehow, however unlikely, exists simultaneously. Also, um, YOU'RE STUART DAVIS OMG. :D
Puggle64 Well I agree the song is supposed to be shocking, bluntly put as it represents his own inner thoughts and self hatred plus the hate the local "rag" some locals, a stark difference to the tune which is an upbeat track... I think that's what makes it so powerfull. Tastes differ though.
maszlagma It's true that tastes differ, but puggle64 misunderstands Patty's use of the word 'faggot'. That's not a difference of taste. It's the difference between accurate perception and distorted perception. Of course, it's obvious that her use of the word 'faggot' is meant to show Tony's self-hatred. It is not Patty making an anti gay slur. How can anyone not understand that?
I found out about the song in the book Boy meets Boy by David Levithan
Same! 😅😂👍
me too right now i am starting to read

The most powerful song ever written. Just is.
