I posted to get the opinions of other performing musicians who may have dealt with similar situations.
The lyric doesn't bother me as I see most lyrics as "fiction". Iron Maiden aren't satanists because of Number of the Beast, it's The Omen as a song basically.
The recent upheaval regarding anything related to the Confederacy just raised my awareness and I wanted to hear from others.
I play the song well and enjoy playing it. I'm in Florida and I'm not playing Buffett, but really like Petty, so...
Thanks for the replies!!
