Hi guys, I'm probably going to be on here sporadically for the next couple of days -- I'm trying to finish up a paper + stop my dog from killing himself. If you've gotten ahold of me, I'm NOT mad at you, I'm just...trying to get along. Shitposting will promptly resume upon completion of the paper + doggy health improvement.

I’m going to level with you. I have listened to The Devil Went Down to Georgia for most of my life. We were a country music household, this was a staple of my childhood along with Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks, and that one Chipmunks country album.
I have no idea what “Fire on the mountain run boys run/The Devil's in the house of the rising sun/Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough/Granny does your dog bite no child no” means and at this point I’m too scared to ask.
For once I can be of assistance.
Each of the lyrics comes from an old-time hickory song for fiddles, and is a lyric from that corresponding song.
"Fire on the Mountain" --> "Fire on the Mountain, run boys run"
Fire On The Mountain - Fiddle Player POV
"The House of the Rising Sun" --> "The Devil's in the house of the rising sun"
House of the Rising Sun
"Ida Red" --> "Chicken in the bread pan peckin' out dough"
Ida Red - Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys
"Granny Will Your Dog Bite" --> "Granny does your dog bite? 'No child, no'."
FTC #149 Granny Will Your Dog Bite
And for your furthered education, The Mountain Whipporwill.
Mountain Whippoorwill (aka How Hillbilly Jim Won the Great Fiddler's Prize)
this is the key part of the song, that a lot of people miss. people have this misconception that the contest between Johnny and The Devil is about who is the better fiddle player. but it isn't. its about who is the better fiddler.
in a time before things like radios and record players, every time you heard music was because there was somebody in the room with you playing an instrument. and many, many, many social events involved dancing, which requires music. so, if you're planning any kind of gathering in the american south or appalachia, you need to find a fiddler. and the fiddler's job is to play music that everybody knows and likes and can dance to.
the mistake The Devil makes in his bet with Johnny is that he misinterprets the contest as being about technical ability, so he has this big flashy song. he plays fast and impressively with a band of demons playing unfamiliar instruments in unfamiliar rhythms. he's definitely more skilled at playing than Johnny, and thinks he has it in the bag.
but Johnny wins because the contest is about being the best fiddler. the song uses these lines mentioned above as a shorthand for saying that Johnny is playing these songs. Johnny launches into a set of the most popular songs, played well, and that's what gives him his big win. A good fiddler knows all the hits, and can read the room to know what to play next. The Devil loses because he completely fails to read the room, and doesn't know the right songs.
liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno
the existence of uncanny valley would suggest there is also a canny mountain
Canny Mountain, Charlie!

ANTHONY HEAD as UTHER PENDRAGON.
MERLIN (2008-2012)
it is the 15th of April, 1919, a calm day in Milan. The recently formed Fasci di Combattimento march towards the office of Avanti!, the newspaper of the PSI. They force their way in and ransack the place, destroying equipment and setting fire to every piece of paper they can get their hands on. An editor faces down the barrel of a gun and realizes: "if only we'd published abstract and experimental art"
April 28th, 1945. soviet forces are bearing down on Berlin like a bulldozer, preceded by a hailstorm of ordinance. the cutting edge abstract art machine guns tear apart the cement facades of Berlin's government district, pushing the hitlerite regime to its limits and over them, Hitler cannot bear the psychological torment of his reality being torn apart by the legions of experimental artists levied to free Europe from fascism.
that original comment is so historically innaccurate too hahahaha. futurism was THE fascism art style! specifically in 1919 in milano!!!
filippo tommasso marinetti wrote both the fascist manifesto and created this type of art:
i'd call this art quite experimental. it was also deeply fascist. as in like, literally.
yet on the other hand... you had... russian futurists who were anti-fascist!
art is a symptom of its times but is ineffective in combating fucking anything. its valuable to analyze it to see how the society reflects in it; its also used as a part of propaganda, art is incredible and very important... but it wont be combating shit!
take it in the modern example - artists raising funds for palestine through raffles or using their art to get more eyes on fundraisers is a very literal and active use of art; its political, its useful, its applied. but it sure as hell isnt stopping any bombs.
friend is trying to convince me this is a common experience and I do not believe her, so
Do you expect to be paid back if you pay for something for your friend while you’re hanging out? (I.E. a ride, a meal, a trinket.)
Yes, always
Yes, but only if it’s above a limit of money
No, never
I don’t buy things for my friends.
bald button
For a more illustrative example, say you go to the movies with a friend and you buy them popcorn, do you expect them at some point to send you money back via cash or through an app of some kind? Will you be upset if they don’t?
