In Their Words: āI can tell itās resonating with people. When I get to that line, āIām just a gay kid who loves country radio,ā thereās an audible verbal response from the audience. This song is the way I felt doing those four-hour drives from Nashville to Atlanta, listening to country music radio. I could almost put my own life story in these songs, but I canāt. There are gender divisions and heteronormative realities. Thereās a lot of self-homophobia that Iāve had to work on in my own life that plays into this as well.” — Emily Saliers, Indigo Girls
