Listen Later

In this episode of 'Perfectly Good Podcast,' hosts Jesse Jackson @jessejacksonDFW and Sylvan Groth @sylvangreeneyes welcome guest Joe Kay @playthatpodcast from the Play that Rock n' Roll podcast to delve into John Hiatt's song 'I Got a Gun' from the album 'Warming Up to the Ice Age.' The trio discusses the song's dark themes of abuse and revenge, the implications of its lyrics, and the 1980s influences on its production. They also touch on the broader context of domestic violence in media and the emotional catharsis potentially offered by the song. The episode includes a lively analysis of the song's narrative perspective, the problematic nature of vigilante justice, and comparisons to other media. They conclude with individual ratings of the song and Joe's enthusiastic participation in the ongoing exploration of John Hiatt's discography.
