I think the underlying realization for The Devil Went Down to Georgia is more that Americans will listen to good music even if they don’t agree with the lyrics.
The same goes for Imagine by John Lennon, for example.
I love lyrics but i’ve found that most people I talk to about lyrics have no idea or don’t pay attention
Imagine regularly gets changed to exclude the most ‘objectionable’ lines.
I loved Cee-Lo until his cover of it at [some event I forgot]. He changed “and no religion” to “and all religions” which…just totally butchers the meaning of the song. It’s about a world where people are good to each other just because
I’m not an angry atheist but that really, really bugged me. Really spitting on his grave.
What part of the lyrics of Devil Went Down to Georgia do you think people are disagreeing with?
I don’t understand your point. People don’t agree with the song because they believe the lyrics would be different if it were written somewhere else? I’m confused what you’re trying to say.
